Black Dollar Productions

In December, I bought a looper. The idea was to lay down a couple of foundation guitar parts, rhythm heavy things I could sing over or that would free me up to do something other than guitar. As things progressed the Fela-style afrobeat jams were by far the most interesting and fun to play.

Thus began Me Mountain - a combination of afrobeat and post-punk.

We recorded the drums and foundation loops live using a pair of C414B’s as overheads and a couple of MD421’s on the kick and snare. We ran those four tracks into my RME Fireface 800 and Digital Performer over a few hot days in our practice space.

I like the results. Would you like to join my band?
