What We're Saying
Schrödinger’s Hairball is Coming Up!
A note from Chef Jeff Vader, All-Powerful God of Biscuits:
Maya and I are getting close to releasing Schrödinger’s Hairball, our new album of classic rock parodies. I’ve worked pretty hard recording and producing this, but what really makes it fun and special for me are all the contributions other people have made. One person in particular has been crucial in making this album what it is, my long time musical partner Maya. We’ve been creating music together for almost 40 years now, and I still feel lucky I get to work with her.
Those of you who have been fortunate enough to hear her sing know that Maya has a beautiful voice, with perfect control. She can belt out a rock or blues song, or sing a delicate ballad or folk song with equal skill. On this album, she has done an amazing job of adopting the vocal styles of the various singers of the original songs we are parodying. Considering that they are all male singers, it’s particularly impressive. Whether it’s Sting, Freddie Mercury, Michael Stipe, Peter Gabriel, etc., she manages to bring all her unique vocal gifts to each song, while adding little touches that recall the original singers.
Note: That the image accompanying this post is the paper-tablecloth scribble Maya made at a family gathering that started the cover creation process.
New Parody Album in the Works.
Our new parody album, entitled Schrodinger’s Hairball, is well underway. To spur himself to finish it in time for WorldCon, Jeff has already booked mastering sessions.
Here is is latest progress report:
“I just finished a recording session with the amazing Margaret Davis, laying down a flute track for our next parody album. Kristoph Klover helped me get the mic placed, since he’s recorded Margaret about a thousand times, and knows exactly how to capture her best. She breezed through the parts in no time. It sounds wonderful. We have just a few harmony vocals to add, and all the tracking will be done.”
Beckett Gladney is working on the cove for this crazy project and we’ll release the run order as soon as it’s settled.
Spoiler: there are three Queen songs on this one.
