I got the chance to visit the @bosphoruscymbals cymbal factory before a show in Istanbul with @tttopsss last November, fulfilling a lifelong desire to see a Turkish cymbal factory. It was wild to see the ancient methods kept alive, from exclusively hammering by hand to transporting vats of molten bronze in flip flops. Thank you Ensar and @ibrahim.mani for the hang! by @rtrippfleck
𝐵𝒰𝑅𝒴 𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝒦𝐸𝒴 is in your hands now 🔑 It’s been a long and winding road and it feels so good to finally unlock this entire record for you all! There was time spent in studios through every season, from heat waves in August to blizzards in January. Writing sessions, drum recordings, keyboard tracking, guitar solos and vocal editing. It’s a record of the musical dynamic between David, Marci, Riley and me at this time of our lives when we were experienced but young, inspired but more demanding of the fruits of our labour. A chance encounter over a few months between people with many years and hundreds of thousands of miles on the road behind us. Hopefully it will happen again soon. We wrote it in the summer in Hochelaga and the winter on the plaza. Riley did a few drums in his garage in Tujunga too. We recorded some bed tracks at Treatment Room and did the rest ourselves until it was time to get mixed by @marcuspaquin and mastered by @joaocarvalhomastering It means so much to me that this group of geniuses, some of the most talented musicians I’ve ever met, took the time to make this album with me. There were hundreds of hours in the studio. I hope it all adds up to something you won’t get tired of listening to over and over, something that will live in countless moments of countless lives and shared memories and exist forever the way only music can. I listen to vinyl records at home and this is my attempt at making a record that will get dusty and old next to the classics, hence the sci fi retro futurist album cover by @robertbeattyart It’s a record looking back at some dark times in my past, into an uncertain future, but the fact that we are able to devote our lives to this type of creative work is a very bright light in my life. It’s my reason for being, truly. It would mean the world to me if you could play it front to back sometime, lmk how it goes ! xjane by @rtrippfleck

My drum part for a @tttopsss cover of a @margoguryan song we put out last year. I took the basic outline of the original drum part and tried to make a compass point style beat out of it, featuring the partially obscured cowbell by @rtrippfleck
Soundcheck with @jpblues this summer. It was a real treat to learn and interpret the #drum parts @maurorefosco played on JP’s album, particularly the outro to this song “By Hook or By Crook” by @rtrippfleck
