Cut of the month is a studio treat. It's an in between takes banter from Nathan Levine and Tom Swafford as VOLUTE. I call this "piece" "Elephants" because that's what they were talking about. I really loved this banter while we were recording these improvs and decided to share it with you this month. Please to be enjoying.

October started with the final mixing of the IN CAVES project. Last month I said this group was like Pearl Jam with a much better sense of humour. The other difference is that their songs are still stuck in my head a month later...more later.

I also finished the BUH BLAM project which reminds me so much of Bowie it's not even funny.

Mixing commenced and finished for the TOM BAKER QUARTET record. This collection of jazz compositions is amazing. Hopefully I can feature these later.

I mixed the RICHARD PANZER collection of original compositions which I hope to feature soon too. One song is ripe for a vocal by Nick Cave. Anyone got his number?

I also did a transfer of some home recorded 78's of MUSSIE CHARLIE REYNOLDS which was a Native American woman singing in a Shaker church. Very nice and very rare.

The HOUSE ON A HILL record finished with a mastering session on Halloween. You will be hearing from this group soon, which reminds me of Meat Puppets and Minutemen.
