FUTURESEX/POOPSOUNDS
this album was recorded entirely on a Mac...
specifically, the built-in microphone on a MacBook Pro.
absolutely nothing here (except for the first song which was recorded via telephone)
was recorded using ANYTHING other than acoustic sources and the built-in MacBook mic.
i mean it.
WE ALL KNOW THAT MACS ARE BETTER FOR MUSIC.
IT'S LIKE JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF SHIT A BRICK OF GOLD
AND MADE IT INTO A 30-CENT MINI-CONDENSER MIC CAPSULE
AND OUTSOURCED THE MANUFACTURING OF CHRIST-SHIT-BRICK MICS IN CHINA
AND PUT IT RIGHT INTO THE FRONT OF EACH AND EVERY MACBOOK PRO
(ALSO MADE IN CHINA; MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED RETAIL $2499).
see, the Mac mic is the secret. that is why this album is so fucking great. better than the alleged "original," in fact.
but i did use Windows XP, because OSX is shite.
all voices and instruments by JACKSON TIMBRELAKE
except drums on #10 and #12 by Sean and recorder on #12 by Lisa (thank you both, friends).
Neil Young appears courtesy of Canada.
Michael McDonald appears courtesy of sweet freedom.
recorded basically without rehearsal or direction of any kind, in as little time as possible, often playing drums / piano / singing at the same time because i was in such a hurry, in the first few weeks of September 2007 (except for #1, recorded live on the phone July 2007).
from awesome stuff to crap like this, REAPER is my recording platform of choice, and it should be yours too, because it rocks, fully.
big thank you to Susie for the awesome album art, to Einat for the cover idea, and to Sandi and others for inspiration.

"Timbre" has a short "A" sound, not an "I." Get it right.
