Sean Moeller was in Asheville for HatchFest earlier this year, and I had the pleasure of recording some great musicians live to 1/4" tape, daytrotter style. It's so awesome to work with folks that have a real ... http://hornbake.com/2009/08/arizona-on-daytroter-com/ So I've been busy on the road and in the studio, and neglecting my reel. I added a few tracks on a new pge entitled "Hear My Work". It's a few songs that I've done this year that I'm proud of. Enjoy! Here's one that was added. Valorie is the real ... http://hornbake.com/2009/08/new-hear-my-work/ Okay, I know this isn't really new, but I was skeptical and finally got around to checking out google chrome. I'm a believer. I use Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs reguarly, and Chrome handles them (especially with Google Gears) really well. I love firefox, and this is better.  I'm ... http://hornbake.com/2009/08/google-chrome/ These are not made for the road... the Flash drive still works, my mod still works, the internal ram comes unseated periodically, and now the unit chooses to recognize or not recognize both the ram, and hard drive seemingly at random. It's been driving me nuts.... coming soon, the re-birth ... http://hornbake.com/2009/06/lamenting-the-death-of-an-akai-s5000-not-road-worthy/ So I had to figure this out this week, and it's quite cool. Mac OSX comes with SSH, so setting it up wasn't too hard, and I found a new VNC viewer JollyVNC that is really top notch. The author also has a really inrteresting VNC based product called "screenrecycler" that ... http://hornbake.com/2009/03/ssh-tunnel-and-vnc/ http://www.arizonatheband.com Check it out. Its got a cool Flash header that does some subtle alpha effects based upon mouse movement.

UPDATE: The ... http://hornbake.com/2009/01/arizonathebandcom-done/ http://www.mountainx.com/ae/2008/123108welcome_to_ae Arizona's Glowing Bird (Bass, Co-Engineer & Co-Mix w/ Danny Kadar), Valorie Miller's Autumn Eyes (Produce, Engineer, Mix), and Mad Tea Party's Found a Reason (Mix), were on a short list of good local records made this year in WNC. Right on. All good records, all fun to work on. 2009... ... http://hornbake.com/2009/01/mountain-xpress-must-love-me/ I mocked up a jtm45 chassis in SketchUp for Mathew at Suspect Device Audio. He's working on an awesome marshall jtm45 offset prototype clone, sometimes called the "kitchen" amps, because jim marshall built them in his kitchen. It should be pretty cool, I'll post pictures of the faceplate and chassis ... http://hornbake.com/2008/12/jtm45-offset-chassis/ So, we stopped yesterday after james complained that the van was surging, loosing power suddenly, and just not behaving right. I found a Dodge dealership in Toledo Ohio that apparently does has tons of sprinter experience and parts. Two hours of diagnostics later, I was told we needed a new fuel ... http://hornbake.com/2008/11/sprinter-on-the-road/ New window arrived. Not shattered like the last two, but scratched and mangled, oh well, I'm going to get a credit form the supplier, and at this point, that's fine, I'm just glad it showed up in one piece.
