QKB​—​HEARTBEAT​/​A BABY​’​S LIFE

from LICK (2024 Remaster) by The Santairs

/

about

The first part of this recording, QKB, is of my son's heartbeat while still in the womb during a hospital visit. Then the tape records my son's actual birth. I didn't have a camcorder of any kind, but I had a tape recorder, so I used what I knew how to do best. The 2nd part of this recording was taken after he was born, with me playing with him, recording his laughing, crying, playing, making baby noises and everything in between. I recorded this from his birth until he reached about 1 year of age. You can hear his brother playing and talking to him as well. There's also an area of the tape where I PLAY all of my son's baby toys so one can hear everything he heard at least once. Plus, there's a section where he's playing those toys/instruments, which I find totally irresistible, specifically the drums. For me, these tapes are priceless and am glad to have them forever digitized lest our memories forget.
This is recording #460.

Recorded at MINE Music Studio in Federal Way, WA.

about

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
