Travis Dickerson Recording Studio Forum

Hey Travis, how have you been? It's been a while since we've heard from you. Anything going on in the studio? Any cool new music/videos coming our way?

I spent the summer producing records for others but I'm getting ready to do a few more videos and finishing up loose end projects. Thanks for asking.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to new footage

Thanks for the heads up, this is exciting news!

Things seem really slow since buckethead is not as active in the studio here,  Its kinda sad cause this used to be a awesome place for music. I was really hopeing for a full album with stuff like Les filles dans les nuages I really enjoyed the two tracks & wanted more.

Hi, out there!

So, once again, it's been a while. Anything new in the making we should know about?

BTW, couldn't miss this:

Any details yet?

Best Regards!

Hey, Thanks for your interest. I'd say from the looks of this place little has changed. We've talked about this before. Basically it's the indy music business has so radically changed, the way people hear, buy and distribute music, that the little label I started and did somewhat well for the last 20 years no longer can operate the way it used to. It costs more to record and produce music then it can make. Simple as that. I still make music for myself and produce and play on other peoples records. Because it all comes out of my pocket the pace has slowed to when I have the free time to work on stuff. I still have a record I've been working on with Vince DiCola, it's a great record but its production has to come after I pay for the lights and rent. Same with the record with DJ. I'm still making records with my brother, DJ and Paul ill. We have a couple more songs I'll post soon. The thing you posted with Bob is something I'm recording for him, he'll tell you about it when the time is right.  I just recorded the basic tracks with Vince DiCola and Rick Livingstone for a project called SagAstar we're getting to the overdub stage now. I'll try to make a little more effort to post here just so anyone who looks here once in a while can get updates. But I would encourage anyone interested to friend me on Facebook, I tend to post news there more than here just because more people have eyes there then here now.

Thank you for the update! I understand the situation is difficult, unfortunately. But still nice to hear that you still have a few projects in the making.

Keeping the fingers crossed that the records with Vince DiCola and DJ will be released one day - when time and budget allows.

BTW: Looks like I won't be able to see your posts on Facebook without logging in with an own account - which I successfully managed to avoid thus far

Best Regards!

Well then i'll try to keep you up to date here .

It's that time again. Anything new in the making to look forward?

Regards!

Hey back. Looks like its just you and me. Since last you checked in, all the above continues to be true and i closed my recording studio to to the economics of the music business and the insane escalation of Los Angels rents. I'm rebuilding the studio in my home, and that will take the better part of the rest of the year. In the meantime i have a small studio set up and have been working on the score to Viggos new film and a couple of records that were in progress when I moved. My own music is on hold while my brother is recovering from his reconstruction surgery. When he's feeling up to it we'll get back to recording and hopefully have a shinny new studio to do it in.

Oh, that's sad to hear. Insane rents seems to be a big problem everywhere these days

Anyway, I wish all the best for your plans with the new "home" studio as well as for your brother's recovery! Looking forward to hear some new output anytime.

BTW: Can you say what is the new Viggo film that you are working on?
