Farewell Virginia by Fast Heart Mart

“Farewell Virginia” is in some ways a continuation of my previous album “I Fell in Love then I Fell Apart” because I was still devastated over the same events; namely, finding a girl that I loved, it didn’t work out with us and having to leave Virginia and my family once again to find my place in the world. This collection of songs is what I have to show for the 2 and a half years since the release of my last album “I fell in Love then I Fell Apart”.

I learned a lot about the art of recording with this record. Mixing techniques and mic placements and what works for me and what is too complicated. I used different mics throughout the record. Even borrowed some ribbon mics from Chad Farran. So often we hear recordings from musicians where we can’t really hear the artist because there is so much production. I hope this recording gives the listener plenty of opportunity to hear Fast Heart Mart in the intimate setting of Fast Heart Mart’s apartment.
