Solar Ways by Man Bartlett & Sam Cohen
On a mild early morning in March, I made the trek up to Accord, NY to Sam's studio with a loose idea of what we might get into that day. The list included some specifics: tuning in Diapason Normal (A4=435Hz), that I wanted our sound to be “big but inside you,” and a very long list of reference songs spanning many genres. The result—after a marathon session that stretched into the early morning—is nothing like what I thought we’d make together, but it represents a first-time collaboration that oozes the joy of a collective process of creative discovery. I haven’t had this much fun making music in a long, long time. Forever grateful to Sam for knowing how to bring the “vibe soup” out of my head and into reality in both recording and post production. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making it.
