David Duchovny – Hell or Highwater

May 19, 2015 by Staff Engineer

Singer/Songwriter and actor David Duchovny dips into Q Division for the recording of one of his lyric videos, “Hell or Highwater.” With production assistance by Colin Lee, David combines elements of folk rock and country to blend together a polished sound that is both unique and nostalgic, supported by a talented backing band in Studio A.

Autumn Above – Blessed You’re Still

March 13, 2015 by Rafi

Autumn Above’s newest offering is lush, layered, and lovely (aka the three L’s of album reviews). Q engineer Sean Cahalin plays bass in Autumn Above. He can also be heard playing drums on the recording, which he also mixed. Sean’s pretty talented like that.

Tanya Donelly – Swan Song Series

August 11, 2014 by Rafi

Tanya says this about the last installment of the Swan Song series:

So, last official volume, but not the last songs. More to come, as they come: erratically, sporadically, spasmodically.

The songs on these five volumes range wildly in feel and texture… Tanya’s bandcamp pages are rich with notes on the song writing, recordings, and the musicians she collaborated with on this project. We were lucky host her a few times throughout the recording of what are supposed to be her last official releases. We certainly hope there are more!

A few weeks ago we took delivery of Mitch Easter’s Chamberlin M1. With analog tapes that are a time capsule from a forgotten era, this magical machine has the sounds of vibes, female voices, male voices, cello, harpsichord, violins, flutes, and french horns... 
We have a bit of an embarrassment of riches of analog tape samplers at Q, but as you might know or can guess, these beasts are incredibly temperamental and not always on their best behavior, but when they're working well there's nothing quite like these incredible machines.
