Category: Moon Tunes

fresh off having his mouth fitted with new braces, max floatation joined the studio for a long overdue innaugural jam at the new jonestown studios location. we were joined by daryl and mike jackson, and recorded a few hours of material that i’m please to share a sample of here. you’ll hear lot’s of variety from track to track, which is still one of my favorite things about the moon tunes environment.

we hope that you like listening

this is a rare occaision that we recorded a moon tune session outside
of jonestown. the gracious host of this fun afternoon was daryl, moon tune regular and music gear guru. live drum kit, synths, guitars, and bass round out these two soundscapes. have a listen!

max floatation made the trek to vancouver this weekend with the express purpose of gracing jonestown studios with his presence. the jam was the first with the new multi-track fire wire mixer that we’ve tried, and we are happy to report that everything worked beautifully (from the technical point of view, at least). the jams were, as always, full of good variety and fun. there was some nice e-bowing that made it’s way in as well. i’ve included a weird conversation between two german sounding artists – not sure what the hell they were talking about, but it’s worth a laugh, i think…

keep playing music

here’s a collection of jams from a session max and i enjoyed. i feel like i say this every time, but we really had a great time recording these tracks. there’s something very rewarding about being able to put together an improvised soundscape that is not only listenable, but actually quite good in both quality and content (if we may say so ourselves…. music, as we all know, is highly subjective, and the audience ever fickle. but i digress). each of these were done, as were all moon tunes, in one take. have a listen to these marvelous jams and let us know if you like?

well, the world famous EBOW has been added to the jonestown studio barrage of equipment. and wow, what a great gadget. it sounds awesome. i’ve uploaded a little track to serve as a demonstration, and i can definitely see this sound making it’s
way into future chez jonesy and moon tune tracks.

it’s basically a little magnet that activates your guitar strings, and gives a fantastic sound that emulates an acoustic string instrument. have a listen to the little diddy that i’ve recorded and see what you think. i highly recommend you going out and picking one up.
