The Making of Turquoise in Blue

I thought about doing a follow-up to my 2022 album ‘Black & Grey’ for a while and finally got the opportunity to get started on it this past summer.  The concept behind all of the ‘Live From the inSync Asylum’ albums was to revisit songs I hadn’t sung for a long time, and film it as well.  With ‘Turquoise in Blue’, I took my time, and think I ended up with another nice recording.  The process is basically figuring out what song I want to attempt and seeing if I have a suitable backing track already available to use.  When I have one, I strip it down as far as I can and start again.  When I don’t have one like on ‘Only You Know Why’ –  a song I wrote 44 years ago, I start from scratch.   

I go into more detail in the ‘Turquoise in Blue’ update video below.  Check it out and be sure to let me know if you like the album – and share it while you’re at it. Also, most of my activity recently has been on my YouTube channel, so please subscribe to that.  Thx Paul.

No Goodbyes Video

I recorded and filmed this performance of ‘No Goodbyes’ on 1-24-2025 for the 37th date on my ‘No Rhyme or Reason Tour’.  I wrote the song in 2018 and originally released it on the album ‘Blue Tattoo’. 

I started with stripping down the Blue Tattoo track, and adding a guitar track, keyboards and bvox.  I used a drum part I played in  2018 but did not use then. As before, I recorded the track without headphones or monitoring the guitar, which was later run thru a NeuralDSP plugin.

The video was recorded via three webcams to a single 4K video file in OBS studio.
