Great conversation between @billydorseyjr & @jplaneofficial happening in the studio today.

Racism, religion, politics, our military...ya know, just a few light topics. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So happy I get to be behind the board today.

Thrilled to be part of this new EP. #Repost @jdgr

Who’s your favorite recently discovered artist?

Who’s your favorite recently discovered artist?

For me, this is a tie between Bear’s Den and Caroline Polachek. I found them both within about a week of each other, so it’s hard to narrow it down to a hard favorite right now!

What’s your favorite guitar solo? Rosanna by Tot

What’s your favorite guitar solo?
Rosanna by Toto contains one of my absolute favorites.
There's a lot to break down in this solo, but the biggest take away is that less is more. In three of the four parts in this solo, Steve Lukather uses the same three notes in different ways to anchor the solo to the swing and feel of the song. It's f*cking genius. -Chris

What’s your favorite animated music video?

I have two!

First: The Shrine / An Argument ~ Fleet Foxes This video has an immediately intriguing narrative that steadily becomes more and more wild. Vivid and disturbing images of loss and the struggle of survival are present throughout. It’s really an amazing work of art--very difficult to top!

Second: State of the Art ~ Gotye It would be crazy to answer this question without mentioning one of Gotye’s animated music videos. My only hesitation in mentioning a Gotye video is that it may be too difficult to single one out, but I pushed through the challenges and managed to pick one.

Gotye has worked with a number of animators over his career, and while all his videos contain layers of symbolism, this particular video stands out in its absurdity, and--to me--is particularly characteristic of Gotye as an artist.

What’s your favorite song that’s just a vocal

What’s your favorite song that’s just a vocal with a single instrument?  Djorolen--by Béla Fleck and Oumou Sangaré--is a favorite of mine. Béla’s banjo playing is absolutely stunning (as always), and Oumou’s vocals are mind blowing…her ability to emote such raw humanity through her vocals is humbling and profound. I still get chills just thinking about the track. -Drew

A long long time ago, in world far far different from the one we’re in now, I planned a post involving a pun...this is that post:

Trying to find ways to be productive? What’s you

Trying to find ways to be productive? What’s your favorite album to have on in the background + be productive to?

Here are Drew’s thoughts!
“I really prefer music with no words, especially EDM/IDM (especially Deadmau5, Jon Hopkins, and Ben Lukas Boysen), and piano/cinematic music (like Joep Beving, Olafur Arnalds, and Hans Zimmer). My current favorites are JPEG by Digitalism and Henosis by Joep Beving.” #music #engineering #studio #quarantine

Remember driving places and road trips? What’s been your favorite road-trip band?

Here ‘s mine:
This Will Destroy You

And finally wrapping up our introduction series, everyone say hello to our Staff Engineer Will Clegg! Whether he’s manning the board during a recording session, mixing, handling production for podcasts, performing on stage, or story boarding, you can be SURE that Will is grinding at any given moment. Here’s his 5 favorite albums, and as always let us know yours! -Illuminaudio ~ Chiodos
-As far as post-hardcore albums go, this is hands down the best I’ve heard. The power-metal influences bring an energy to this album that was never in Chiodos’s other albums. Front to back, every song brings something unique to the table. Only downside is that it’s crazy over-compressed and there are virtually no dynamics in the album at all...I’m just holding out for a “remastered” version someday. -Shallow Beds ~ Dry the River
-Beautifully delivered indie/folk album. Amazing melodies, rich harmonies all over. Unique sound. Just wish they had stayed a band longer 🙁 -Brother Sister ~Mewithoutyou
-Mewithoutyou = first time I became a big fan of a band. This album is largely responsible for my love music in general. It’s hard to characterize mewithoutyou into a genre, but they are vaguely Indie / rock / spoken-word / alternative and this is my favorite album of theirs to listen to all the way through. -Periphery II ~ Periphery
-My go to Prog-metal album. The fact that Spencer Sotelo did the whole album
without any “vocal assist” is amazing. Great songs, great vocals, great musicians. -Simple Math ~ Manchester Orchestra
-This is my favorite indie/alternative album from my favorite indie/alternative band; also Andy Hull is one of my favorite song-writers. This is a concept album featuring a not only huge string sections, but also a children’s choir. Everyone, whatever their musical tastes, should give this album a listen.

Everyone please say hello to our Director of Cinematography Christopher Rodriguez!( @shortchangeh3ro )
When Chris isn’t filming, story boarding, or editing, he listens to some excellent albums. Tell us about albums you love below! Here’s his 5 favorites: - Hours - Funeral for a Friend
- This is one of those albums that probably isnt considered "great" but it is to me. The guitar riffs are insanely well done, especially since there are two guitar players playing different riffs that are layered on top of each other and that's just the tip of the iceberg when breaking town how good this album is.
- They’re Only Chasing Safety - Underoath
- I can't say enough about how much I love this album. Underoath pretty much
defined my early 20s and incredibly are still going strong today with another fantastic album called Erase Me. I relate alot to this band and their outlook on religion and seeing that evolution alongside my own is refreshing.
- Purple - STP
- When I was young all my friends listened to pop music so I was called weird for
loving this album. STP heavily influenced me as a musician and I feel like that's very apparent when you listen to my guitar parts in Cedars. "Interstate Love Song" might be one of the greatest songs ever created.
- One by One - Foo Fighters
- If STP influenced who I am as a musician, then the Foo Fighters did that AND,
who I am as a person (at least as much as music can influence your everyday life). It was REALLY fucking hard choosing a favorite Foo Fighters album, but "Times Like These" still to this day (17 years later) still chokes me up.
- Bleed American - Jimmy Eat World
- Wanna' talk about phenomenal from start to finish? There isn't one song that
even comes remotely close to skippable on this album. From "Bleed American" all the way through to "My Sundown" this album oozes melody and creativity. Each song is incredibly catchy and I sing at the top of my lungs on every. single. one.
