DETAILED CREDITS
SOMETHING DIFFERENT by LOST AND FOUND
We recorded Something Different between Sunday night, May 12, 2002 and Wednesday night May 15, 2002. The whole thing was recorded in that time, and John and Jonathan mixed it starting Thursday, May 16, 2002. John and Janathan left it alone for the weekend, then finished mixing it Monday and Tuesday, May 20-21, 2002. They had a little input from Michael and George, but mostly like this: "Do you guys like this mix?" "Yeah, we like it," replied the band. "OK, good," said the technicians. Ken Sluiter mastered the disc at Western Sound Labs in Chicago, IL on Wednesday, May 22, 2002. You asked for detail, right?
The CD was recorded at the home of David Casimir in Madison, Wisconsin. Jonathan Rundman was the producer of the CD, from arranging the location for recording to deciding certain songs required banjo. John Simshauser was the engineer, and there's more involved in the engineering than we can describe.
During the recording we had great time, but we were very short on sleep. We don't know if John ever slept since he would be working on stuff when we all went to sleep and working on stuff when we got up in the morning. Jonathan seemed to get energy from listening to songs, playing music and thinking of ways to use the remarkable collection of instruments he brought to Dave's house. Tim made his CD debut playing drums and also added a guitar background noise loop on Elijah and the bass sound (on acoustic guitar) on the bluegrass tune. George took an hour on Monday night to administer himself an injection of Interferon, and Michael took an hour off on Monday afternoon to go for a leisurely seven-mile run with Pete. Dave pursued litigation during the days and came home at night to join the fun.
So that he could lay down that musical power horn solo on Saskatchewan, Justin Rimbo flew in from Baltimore on Tuesday and back the next morning to Canton, OH. It was a long trip for four measures. Tuesday evening, as we all sat around chatting and Jonathan walked around the house wearing his banjo, Rimbo picked up a mandolin, Tim got hold of an acoustic guitar, Michael was toying with a National, and George began to sing and strike the tambourine. Next thing we knew, there was a regular jamÑwell, not so regular, more bluegrass actually. John rigged up a microphone for us and captured the song, "Multiply." It was about three minutes of spontaneity captured on tape and a chance for us all to try out some instruments. We thought: bluegrass is really fun; perhaps the next CD could be Something REALLY Different.
Here is who played what on the CD:
Tracks 1-9 are all Michael and George only. They both sing. Michael plays acoustic guitar and George plays his Kurzweil keyboard, his ceramic drum, and his plastic recorder. For the most part, George keeps the keyboard set on the "real piano" setting, but for the song, "Can't Take Away," he set it to sound like an organ. So, the first nine tracks are Michael and George exactly like you'd hear them in a concert or if they were playing in your living room. Nothing they play on these tracks requires more hands than they have at one time or additional singers and studio electronic magic.
