about

I have a playlist in Apple Music called "I Could Live Here." It's full of songs that create their own hypnotic worlds and "Shelter" is, for whatever reason, the first song of mine that will go into that playlist.

I grew up on drum machine music in the 80s, and occasionally when I find the space to fire up the thump and click makers I stumble into something that feels like home.

I hope it's a place you want to spend time in, too.

released December 1, 2022
Made by Tom @ Sounds & Substance amongst the trees and sheep of East Kingston, NH. (Yeah, but what did I actually DO? Well, I'm glad you asked. On this track I'm playing piano, my trusty old G&L SB1 bass (had it since 1992 or so), Yamaha EX5 for the rhodes-y business, one of my DBZ guitars through the Fractal AXE-FX IIxl, some Korg Lambda string synth, and a Studiologic Sledge for the grittier synth sounds. Rhythms are a combination of soft synth instruments. There's a textural loop in there I made earlier this year and I have no clue what I used to make that. I used some rain and thunder, too. The song was written and put together in ProTools as I am wont to do, using lotsa Valhalla and DMG plugins and maybe a couple of Waves things (that H-Delay is hard to not love). Written in the loft using Neumann KH310 monitors/NHT subs and an SPL Phonitor 2 controller (and Audeze LCD-x headphones), and then mastered downstairs on my Dynaudio M2s with their own dual subs and SPL crossover, driven by Hothouse amplification from a Cranesong Avocet II mastering converter. Artwork was made in Canva from a pic I took at Salisbury Beach State Reservation. Bagels used in the production of this song were provided by Abraham's in Newburyport, and consumed using properly salted butter.)
