Some Studio Pics

8/29/2018

Here are a few pics from The Human's last studio session, during the recording of "Humanize," 2017. This was his last full blown studio release. It contains 9 original tracks. The "core," of the tracks are mostly live. This gives it a good organic feel. While the Human has written more stuff and released several as singles, there has been no new full blown CD as of yet.

The Human on some occasions can write a song that puts his spin on politics. Given recent events, "Hammer Gonna Fall," is even more relevant, and perhaps even prescient.

RIP John McCain. A true Patriot and American hero. To question his classification as a hero because "he got caught," is an insult to all VietNam Vets and all servicemen. The statement was ignorant coming from a man that did all he could to "dodge" active duty. He should never have been given a free pass for this.

Podomatic also provides him with data as to what countries people are from that listen. Here are the top countries so far for this show.

Thanks for your support of the show and The Human's Music. He is an independent artist that writes his own material, produces and promotes it. He battles against big labels and more well financed artists. He makes a dent of the music scene, because of you...the fans.

Peace.

Beat The Heat

Hot in Central Valley of California. 100 plus most of the time. And major wildfires burning through-out the state, some fairly close. This makes the air here about as bad as Bejing China. We live in a bowl, surrounded by mountains and bad air simply can not escape. So, over to San Luis Obispo, Pismo, Avila Beach. Cooler. Beach. Sand. Ocean. Chill. Yeah. Here are a couple of pics.

Central Coast. San Simeon area, close to Heart Castle. Beach is nice and not as touristy there.

How's this for beauty? Sunset.

My favorite place for music. Old School. They got it all.

Deep Cut, Basement Tapes Human Project

Every so often I do a show with just Human Project stuff. This one is mostly made up of music that has not been released or for sale. Most of it was recorded in my home studio. It has limitations, especially when it comes to drums, but other than that, I can get a strong sound. Sometimes I use Conga's or get creative in other ways to make up for it. I like that raw sound I get. I play all the instruments, and some occasions I have my friend Adam, AC Myles come over and he will put a lead track down. This has worked out well, considering no practice goes into it, he just lays it down. It adds to spontaneousness of it. The last track, "Connection," is my most recent studio track. I have not done one of these in well over a year. I talked about this in an earlier blog, but it's a Jagger/Richards tune that was covered by Montrose in 1974. I pattern my cover more after this one. Very happy with the results. It has not been released for sale yet.
