Mixing the Orion Experience’s New Concept Album
We are in the studio recording one of our favorite New York City bands, The Orion Experience. The band has come in with 10 songs for a planned concept record called “Children of the Stars” inspired by your hero and mine, Carl Sagan. There’s a nice variety of styles among these songs. Some of them rock out and have crazy harmonized solos, there is an Indian-influenced Bollywood song, some great ballads, a dirty synth-based rocker, and some dance tracks.
Today we’re tracking piano for one of the 4 interlude tracks that will serve to connect the other songs into a narrative. We’re really excited about this record, every song is catchy, well-crafted pop in the style of the psychedelic garage rock of the 60’s mixed with the epic musicality of Queen and the sci-fi stylings of early David Bowie. The vocal arrangements are tight, and the musicianship is top notch. We’re super excited that they choose us to record this album! And check back on their website for updates, and definitely check back here to follow the progress on this epic recording.
