Here’s another album of photos from the recent Mabel Tainter show. Two of my favorites:
Billy crushes me with his guitar.
Big finish with “After Waymore’s Blues.”

Tiny Pilot Live at the Mabel
Volume One has put up an album of photos from the Long Beds show at the gorgeous Mabel Tainter.

While we were finishing up the Tiny Pilot album, Chris (our guitarist) holed up in his basement to record some additional guitar sounds. Note the glamorous setting in critical proximity to laundry (a recurring motif of my albums).
Long Beds on Tour
You never know who’s going to show up backstage (this was at the theater in Alma).
Much more normal audience members in Spencer, Wisconsin:
Thanks to photographer Glenn.

Thank You, Captain Tim
We are working on a new Long Beds album. I’ll explain more when the album is finished (it’ll be a few months). For one of the songs, we needed about 7 seconds of the sound of an airplane. Available online in roughly .32 seconds.
But why go online when you can record the real thing? Here’s Jaime at work:
That’s a World War II vintage N3N. An open-air two-seater. Piloted from the rear cockpit by Captain Tim. This is the airplane that appeared in Coop.
When the “work” was done, we all got to take a ride.
It was a pretty fun day. “Pretty fun” is Midwestern Scandinavian for “YEEEEEHAAAAWWW!!!!”
Here’s some video: (more…)
Phuzzy Phone Pics
From an all-day session at the studio with the Long Beds (actually Molly came in a day later):
After that last shot, when Chuck had cased up his secret weapon, he and I retired to the kitchen for homemade lentil/cabbage/pork sausage soup…thank you to my wife for that, for fresh apple cake, and as always, for forbearance. She is the solid center of my mental contraptions.
Low End/Deep End
A portion of the studio where we’ve been recording is built over an old swimming pool. Engineer Jaime discovered that if he suspended a microphone in the vast space below the floor, it picked up some fine reverberant goodies. Recording engineers love this sort of stuff (geek alert!).
