Resistor

Hi friends, First off, if you contributed to the fundraiser for The Flood and haven’t yet received your reward, you should be getting it very soon. Thanks for bearing with me! Next, I have some exciting news. I’ve been releasing my songs under the name Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies for several years now, [...]

Almost there… stay on target…

The Flood is almost done! We will be playing a CD release show on Saturday, December 10th at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia. More details TBA. For now, check out the sweet cover design by Eamon Dougherty.

Recording Pt. 6 — that’s a wrap

On Monday I had a recording session with the very talented Dawn Hiatt. She played piano on both Invocation and The Flood, and she sang on Symmetry and The Flood. The results were fantastic, and Symmetry in particular has finally come together now that both parts of the duet are there. Check out a couple [...]

Recording Pt. 5 — July

I am pleased to announce the release of “July,” the free promo single from “The Flood.” As some of you may know, I’ve been funding the whole recording project on my own so far.

Recording Pt. 3

I am very fortunate to be working with an extremely talented and generous bunch of musicians, which has allowed me to get a lot of recording done in a short amount of time. Griff recorded all of his [...]

Recording Pt. 2

After much anticipation and logistical wrangling, I was able to get the all of the strings for the new songs recorded this weekend, and it was certainly worth the wait, because they sound fantastic. The strings were tracked at Sweden with Josh and Mattias, who are two very talented engineers with a great space in [...]

Recording Pt. 1

I’m happy to report that we’ve begun production on our new recording project. We’ve spent two long days so far — 7 hours the first day, 8 hours the second — at Turtle Studios, and managed to lay a great foundation. You can view some rather unremarkable photos here. I’ll be adding to these as we progress. [...]
