In December of 2005 I loaded my van full of instruments and drove up to @bearcreekstudio to make a record that would later be named “Into the Blue Again” taken from the song Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads. Swipe to take a trip down memory lane with some behind the scene photos and story telling.

Cover Art by Andy Ward. This is the first time this logo appeared. It was hand written by Andy himself and was the logo I used on all of my records up until Future Falling in 2023.

The original piece Andy Ward created on a piece of plywood. He painted it and then used nails, string and coated paper. And then photographed it to create the cover of the record. I have these pieces in my studio.

This is the back cover original piece by Andy Ward. Painted plywood with nails, string and paper.

Bear Creek Studios. It’s a converted barn.

One of my stations I made inside of the studio. My Rhodes, Microcorg, Alesis Micron, Moog Voyager, Moog Prodigy, Moog Rogue, some old Roland controller Zach from Pinback gave me when we lived together, and a glockenspiel I bought at sweetwater music’s scratch and dent warehouse on tour in 2004.

Amps, nords, Casiotone 602 (see in you organ) , Yamaha SK20

Drum situation.

Ryan Hadlock, owner of Bear Creek Studio with his dad Joe, who recorded the record

Matt Resovich , my longtime violinist, came up to track and hang the second week of recording.

Justin Benson, who came with and filmed the whole process of creating this record.

Control room at bear creek. Their Trident console and there’s a lap a never sidecar behind me that he uses for drums.

Empty studio after I finished tracking and packed my van.

The battleship grey neve console at Sigur Ros’ Sundlaugin studio where I mixed the record. This was the second time I went to Iceland to mix, I recorded and mixed In A Safe Place in this studio in 2003/2004.

Joshua Eustis who contributed drum programming (Red Eye, Broken Arrow etc..) and so much moral support throughout making this record. He’s a longtime dear friend whose audio knowledge I’ve respected since hearing Telefon Tel Aviv’s Farenheit Fair Enough in 2001. We became friends a couple years earlier and he came with to Iceland
