Search - Work of Art :: Simplicity

This is the first new studio album from 'WORK of ART' in 10 years! Credited with playing all the instruments and singing all vocals (except where noted*), Art 'Ski' Halperin successfully fuses his award-winning song writing with his inspiring musicianship to create this CD. Although Art is also listed as the Producer; he was paired with world-renowned audio engineer, Barry Diament (Barry's mastering credits include all of the Bob Marley CD's on the Tuff Gong label, Led Zeppelin, Guns N' Roses, U2, The Eagles, Yes, Genesis, Anita Baker, and more), for the entire recording process. The album's title, "Simplicity", describes how the album was made: Recorded in N.Y. at Top of the World Studios, these 14 tracks were captured in multi-track but not in multi-mono. All takes were recorded in stereo using a pair of omnidirectional microphones mounted on either side of a Jecklin disk. Though there are some samples, nothing was recorded via direct-inject; everything was done via the microphones. No pan pots were used and there is no compression or limiting anywhere on this record. The level is a bit lower than most modern CDs (because they didn't squash the life out of it) so turn it up and hear what uncompressed music sounds like.
