Blast From Two Pats' Past - Pat mAcdonald - Troubadour of Stomp

Picture
I produced and engineered this album from one-time Timbuk 3 frontman, Pat MacDonald at my sixteen track Portland basement recording gutter, Studio 13.  We began tracking in October or November of 2005 and wrapped up mixes early in 2006.  Both Pat and I were going through some rough times.  We were both ending long term relationships.  Take a listen.  You can hear the pain coming off the Troubadour's performance.  You can hear the darkness in my mixes and production.  Almost all of what you hear is Pat MacDonald laying down a live performance in his one man band format.  The drum sound is Pat's home-made stomp box construction - a wood box with a D-112 kick drum mic inside.  The mic was run through guitar effect pedals and sent to an amplifier.  I took it DI and I mic'd the cabinet.  We would occasionally double track a vocal or add some percussion or hand claps.  An Ibanez AD202 was my main delay used for this album. It was released in 2007.  This album came from some really dark days.  But I'm so happy I got to spend that time with Pat MacDonald.  We made some great music.
