After eight, 14 hour a day mixing sessions we had to pull a late one last night. Bed at 0500; back on it at 0700.

Now the album is in the hands of our ace mastering engineer Jon Astley.

That…

Groundbreaking, certainly.

For five years we owned the Trident recording console which first resided at El Cortijo studios in southern Spain. The late, great studio-tech, Brian Hayward, told the story of how when Kylie came to record the first thing she did…

There are some very strange people out there. Yes, I wear a Lungi in the summer here because it’s fucking hot and I want to feel comfortable in the studio. Does this make me gay or a Bud light drinker…

You just have to love these guys. Always bonkers, always very, very cool...

"It’s weird when you work with people you grew up with, and they open their mouth and it’s like: fucking hell, that’s Tina Turner. It’s not like you need a magic box to put her vocal through to make her…

What could possibly go wrong?

It's all about amps and the secret drum kit right now...

Tina… You think these people will live forever. #TinaTurner #Music #RIP #FediArt #MastoArt #MastodonArt

Last Tuesday we finished the drums for the new record. Hugo did a great job and his jazz-rock-afrobeat fusion has really changed the dynamic of our material. Two weeks to mix deadline. Bring it on… #Music #NewAlbum #…

01:04 minutes into Rick Beato's superb interview with Daniel Lanois.

I am intensely interested as along with Nigel Godrich, he is my all time favourite producer.

It inspired me to listen to this which moves me to tears every time…

Ever even heard of Bacalhau? Well if you have or haven’t, but enjoy good food, take a look! #CodFish #Food #Life #Portugal #Bacalhau #Chef #Music https://vibes.starlite-campbell.com/p/the-humble-bacalhau

This totally proves that a very simple song is transformed by one unique and sublime instrument. The human voice.

The clock is ticking as we have to have the album mixed and ready to master in just over two weeks. A little stressed right now as I have never undertaken anything so complex… Oh I nearly forgot, it’s available…

We are delighted to announce our weekly podcast - The Supertone Show - is now available on our blog https://vibes.starlite-campbell.com.

The next few shows feature music from the cities where we are playing during our September/October 2023 UK…

Another long gap in my posts, this time due to a long overdue family holiday with our two sons, one daughter in law and a precocious granddaughter. But more of that later. Today is all about rediscovery. If you follow…

A couple of years ago we came across a video of #GordonLightfoot singing If You Could Read my Mind - we cried!

In early 2022 we recorded the track with humility and love planning to release the song in…

Very sad to hear Gordon Lightfoot has passed away. He was very inspirational to us. This particular performance brought us to tears. #GordonLightfoot #RIP #Music #FolkMusic #MastoArt #FediArt #CanadaDay https://youtu.be/tDRQnbAtmLs

I have never really been interested in amplifier modeling as we have a great selection the real deal in the studio. This however could be a game changer. Two open source projects - NAM and Proteus - sound pretty good…

If Ed Sheeran loses this case we are all fucked. This chord sequence is used all the time.

And then this pops up. Fuck what a great sound. Of course Tom is the man but I think people forget about and underestimate Richard Lloyd - he’s killer here with a fabulous AC30 tone. I am on a Friday…

Loving the new PJ Harvey single. I think the new album will be quite something. #PJHarvey #Music #Single #ArtRock #FediArt #Art #MusicVideo #Video #MastoArt https://youtu.be/LvYMlixvzHM
