For this first edition of Deciphered, we invited internationally acclaimed composer, producer, and performer Julianna Barwick to our space to explore and create original music on a custom-designed effects rig. Julianna is known for her beautiful atmospheric multi-layered vocals, so we built a setup to complement that sound, focusing on lush, dark, and vibey vintage reverb effects from our gear collection.
After learning the ins and outs of the gear, Julianna improvised and crafted several new pieces of work. The music was all created live without any overdubs, edits, or backing tracks. The sounds were rich, warm, and lush, and our crew was left in awe. The session ended with a question from Julianna: “Can I make a record here?”
Deciphered: Artists In Residence is a brand new series designed to make our classic gear collection, our team of engineers and gear-heads, and the creative workshops at our Burlington, Vermont headquarters available to adventurous artists with unique perspectives on sound, creativity, and technology.
