This song was recorded at Audio Recording, Inc. in Seattle by legendary engineer, Kearney Barton (who recorded The Kingsmen “Jolly Green Giant” of “Louie, Louie” fame, The Sonics “Psycho”, The Frantics “Werewolf”, and many others.) It was an 8 track analog studio, recorded onto 1 inch reel tape.
This particular recording was made circa 1990 during a major wind, rain, and thunder storms. Kearney, the always alert engineer, grabbed two of his microphones and recorded the sounds. The rain and thunderstorm was one event while the wind storm was another event. He actually captured, what I thought, to be one of the most fascinating thunderstorms I've ever heard in Seattle. I thought it was great that he had these recordings and I told him that he should put it onto a format where it could be saved forever. (You see, I was thinking ahead into the digital age.) He put it onto cassette form and gave it to me. He and I edited the progression of the storms together, but it's pretty much in linear form. I came up with the title, and we were both happy with the results, and now I'm sharing it with all of you.
To finish off this particular mix, I had to convert it from a cassette format onto the Audacity program on my computer with a JVC TD-W254 Double Cassette Deck 3 motor Silent Mechanism.
Though technically not a song, it's “recording” #398 on my list of songs.

Recorded at Audio Recording, Inc. in Seattle, WA.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
