hen it comes to local music, you probably think – sure, we have a lot of that; bands of all genres, styles and levels of dedication. But what about the driving force of any local band that wants to take themselves seriously – the recorded sound that they use to gain new fans, earn gigs and potentially receive airplay on a local – or national – stage? How do local bands get their music out to the masses these days? Who are the engineers and producers who make that ear candy happen? Well, that’s what I asked Matt Robert to ďŹ nd out in this week’s cover, “Local tunes: Recording in the City.â€? Read on and see what he uncovered in the world of local music today.

City Assessor: Palladium owners should know its value Walter Bird Jr.

T

he way Worcester assessor Bill Ford sees it, if you own property, you should know what it is worth. He believes that philosophy should apply to the owners of the beleaguered Palladium – home to a thriving heavy metal music scene, but in danger of being silenced permanently.

The city this year valued the property at 255-261 Main St. – which in addition to the Palladium includes office and retail space – at $2.3 million. That was slightly more than triple its assessed value of $688,700 in 2011. The tax bill more than doubled, from $23,863.46 in fiscal 2011 to $65,887.16 in fiscal 2012. Local attorneys John Fischer and John Sousa bought the building in 1990 for $1.3 million.

Three years later, it was assessed at just $391,600. Until this year, it had been assessed two straight years at $688,700.

“In my opinion, they should know the value of their property,” Ford says. “If you bought something for $1.3 million, and it is assessed at $600,000, wouldn’t you think that was strange?”

Fischer doesn’t think so. He and Sousa have appealed their assessment, filing for an abatement of $494,904. No decision has been made yet on that request. At the same time, Fischer has made it clear he thinks the price tag is too steep. He and Sousa have openly questioned the future of the Palladium, going so far as to threaten demolition. Just last week, Fischer brought forward a request for a waiver from the city’s demolition delay ordinance. That measure requires a 12-month wait before historical property can be razed. The Historical Commission unanimously denied the waiver, ensuring the building will remain in place – for now.

As for why he never took issue with earlier, much lower assessments of his property, Fischer says, “It’s not uncommon for properties to be valued less than what they were purchased for.”

Some have questioned how much the owners did to increase the value of the building, which Fischer admits is in need of “repairs and upgrades.” Ford raised that issue directly, saying, “The fact is the property owners did not properly maintain that building. (They) allowed the building to deteriorate, but now they say, ‘Wait. I have to tear the building down because you’re taxing me.’”

Worcester officials have made no secret of their opposition to any attempt to destroy the building and the Palladium.

The Historical Commission’s vote provided added emphasis and followed a strong recommendation from Joel Fontane, director of the city’s Planning and Regulatory Services Division. He advised members to deny the waiver, saying, “Demolition of this historically significant structure would be detrimental to the architectural and historical resources of the city … and because the applicant has not demonstrated undue economic hardship.”

Mayor Joseph Petty has also taken a stance on the issue, telling Worcester Mag in a statement: “The Palladium is a unique destination and cultural venue in our city and it is our desire that this structure not be demolished.” He declined further comment “until the city assessor makes his final decision” on the abatement request.

The abatement, according to Chris Besaw, is “the key.” Besaw is general manager for Mass Concerts, which has booked shows at the Palladium since 1990.

{ citydesk } Rebuilding a community Stone Soup ground breaking incorporates youth, volunteers Jeremy Shulkin

W

hen the Stone Soup community center suffered an electrical fire in 2009, the building at 4 King Street emptied out. Those who had utilized the building for meeting space, their nonprofit headquarters or its library helped cleaned up the grounds, removed STEVEN KING its usable resources and left the building awaiting repair.

Three years later, Stone Soup’s organizers and members announced the news last week that a $700,000 capital campaign has started for the community center’s rehabilitation, culminating in a ground-breaking ceremony on Wednesday, July 25. The financing comes from the insurance company settlement, private donations and a bank loan.

Though construction has already begun with a “green rebuild” focus that features new and improved windows, energy and weatherization retrofitting and updates to the heating, electrical and sprinkler systems, Stone Soup organizers have eyed the building’s brand new addition as a significant step to getting 4 King Street back to serving the area.

“We’re really excited about the addition,” says Jen Burt, who envisions its use as a function room for parties, movie screenings and community meetings.

Stone Soup’s organizers wanted the center’s values reflected in their rebuilding.

“We were thinking, ‘How can we create the community that we had before Stone Soup caught on fire?’” Dania Flores, a “souper” and member of the Worcester Immigrant Coalition shares. “We had an outline for what kind of contractors we wanted.”

That outline included firms that were community oriented, had policies that

had them hiring a diverse group of workers and subcontractors and offered apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship training – a testy and relevant topic considering the Worcester City Council and local labor unions are pushing for the city to enforce a Responsible Employer Ordinance that would mandate that City of Worcester building projects only go to bidders that have apprenticeship programs.

“Stone Soup has been housing a bunch of youth groups in the community,” Flores adds, which made it a natural fit to tap YouthBuild Boston and YouthBuild Worcester as the project’s general

contractor because of their ties to union labor and the hope that some of the 16 to 24 year olds could make connections with the union donating their services to the rebuild.

“In order to make this project go, they needed a lot of volunteer labor,” says Terry Moran, Massachusetts YouthBuild Coalition Coordinator. “It’s right up our alley.”

YouthBuild, which connects 16- to 24-yearold dropouts with GED programs and construction skills, provided several workers who have already put in thousands of hours of prep work and weatherization. Other YouthBuild chapters added more workers from Boston, Cambridge, Lowell and Quincy as well.

The most welcome news, and signs that Stone Soup can hit the ground running, is that all of the community center’s former tenants, and some of Worcester’s well-known nonprofits like EPOCA, Earn-a-Bike, Worcester Immigrant Coalition, Worcester Roots, Food Not Bombs and their library, are returning.

Construction is slated to end in October or November. Matt Feinstein, an organizer with Stone Soup and Worcester Roots, says that the support of the neighborhood has them reinvigorated.

“People are always stopping by,” he says, telling them they’re happy to have the building back and functioning in the neighborhood. “We’re a key element of the King Street, Shepherd Street, Main Street neighborhood.”

PALLADIUM continued from page 5

John Peters owns Mass Concerts, a major promoter of shows in arenas throughout New England. How big? In November 2000, under Peters’ guidance, Mass Concerts booked Prince at the Palladium, when the pop icon was performing mostly in theaters and small arenas. Fischer admits the Palladium would be a barren place without the promoter.

“Mass Concerts has been there for 12 years,” says Fischer. “He’s the person who has been keeping the place alive all that time.”

The next big show scheduled at the Palladium is Summer Slaughter Tour North America 2012 on Aug. 10. It will no doubt be music to the ears of heavy metal fans and supporters who do not want to see the building torn down. Among them is Jonathan Noble, a Worcesterite known for his participation in the grassroots movement, Occupy Worcester.

“We don’t have the most vibrant reputation outside Worcester,” Noble says.

“What we are known for is pretty much being a nexus of the heavy metal scene.”

Noble and others can take some comfort in knowing the Palladium won’t be going anywhere in the immediate future. Fischer himself isn’t quite ready to write the building’s epitaph. “There’s more than a 50-50 chance it will be there next year at this time,” he says. “We’re going to keep it alive for the next year. Hopefully, word will get out and someone will see there’s a hell of an opportunity there.”

UMass Memorial has also collaborated with a number of organizations such as the Worcester Department of Public Health, Common Pathways and others to launch the City of Worcester Community Health Improvement Initiative. The aim of the initiative is to create a social, economic and health profile for the city and prioritize areas for health improvement in the community. This is known as the Community Health Improvement Plan— it is a community-wide, collaborative effort that will be significant for health

improvement and to engage partners and organizations to develop, support and implement health-based goals.

The residents at Plumley Village are ready to take charge of their health and community. Maria Cotto, director of property management at Plumley Village, says that every year the list for a garden plot is growing, and that now there is even a waitlist to get one of the precious spots. In the short-term future, they will be looking at building a couple of other gardens around the property. “We’re trying to utilize a lot of the space so the residents can have a piece of their own,” explains Cotto. “People are more respectful, more concerned, more involved, and it is just positive all around.”

In June the city council voted 10-1 in favor of a Responsible Employer Ordinance for public construction projects that, while favored by local unions and community groups, drew threats of a lawsuit from groups like UCANE and the Merit Construction Alliance, who called the REO’s mandate that bidding firms have apprenticeship training programs unlawful.

Two weeks ago Ron Cogliano, president of Merit, wrote Mayor Joe Petty a letter asking for all involved parties to scrap the draft ordinance and start anew. He followed up on July 27, reiterating that “starting from a clean slate, this working group can craft an ordinance that will withstand judicial scrutiny and have as guiding principles, fairness and equity for all.” Jack Donahue, Carpenters Local 109 business agent and outspoken proponent of the REO said that Cogliano’s request is being taken seriously. “We’re giving this one more college try to get together,” he said, with the goal of hammering out some kind of training requirement that doesn’t come with a threat of lawsuit and “that levels the playing field for responsible contractors.”

The most notable sign, however, that the City of Worcester is taking the legal threat seriously is that the council could’ve easily taken the final vote to pass the REO in July but has held off.

GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME NOTICE OF CONTEST: The

Massachusetts Republican Party’s headache that is the Liberty Caucus – a group of grassroots Ron Paul supporters who were elected as delegates to the GOP national convention, some of whom are from the Worcester area – continue to fight their removal as delegates by the MassGOP on the grounds that they wouldn’t support presumptive nominee Mitt Romney when they got there, despite swearing to obey party rules requiring them to do so.

On Wednesday, the group sent a 35page Statement of Position to the national RNC’s Committee on Contests challenging the state party’s authority to put forward unelected delegates in their place, complaining that the MassGOP “imposed an ad hoc, arbitrary qualification upon the contestants, subjected them to fundamentally unfair procedures found nowhere in party rules, and appointed delegates and alternate delegates of the committee’s own discretionary choosing who had not been democratically elected.”

RE-EDUCATION: The Central

Massachusetts Special Education Collaborative, an independent entity established by the Worcester and Webster public schools has come under fire from State Auditor Suzanne Bump’s office for the improper administration of retirement benefits and overcharging member districts by $4.5 million at the end of Fiscal Year 2011.

Naturally, Worcester school committee members are wondering if the district can have some of that money back, considering any dollars overcharged by the CMSEC were dollars that didn’t go into the Worcester Public Schools last year. SC members Brian O’Connell and Jack Foley both have filed items addressing the question for an August 23 school committee meeting. “I’d like to see an accounting of what the collaborative has done with the surplus they’ve built up,” O’Connell said.

resigned from the 140 member organization founded five years ago to promote shopping at local businesses and push for sustainable business practices. “It’s a fantastic organization,” she said. “There’s a lot of hope going forward to make an impact on the economic strength of our city.” WLF’s co-chair Cliff Wilson, owner of Framed in Tatnuck, said that the organization’s mission now is to find a new executive director and, while the businesses involved are doing well individually, the organization’s visibility has decreased. Part of that, he added, has to do with the amount of activity volunteers are willing to put forward, which are needed for pushing WLF to its “more altruistic goal of improving our footprint.” This should be welcome news to former WFL coordinator Steve D’Agostino, who said he’d like to see the organization focus on community building and sustainable capitalism. “It’s too much like a club and not enough of a [sustainability] movement,” he said.

The Rosen

Report

Don’t run a campaign that would embarrass your mother Gary Rosen

T

hat political quote is attributed to Senator Robert Byrd, D-WV, who was the longest-serving member in the history of the United States Congress. Perhaps that’s the advice I should have given to a gentleman who called me recently to talk about his potential first-time run for Worcester city council at-large.

This eager, educated and professional individual wanted me to assess his chances for victory at the polls in November, 2013.

When I told him that I’m a political pundit, not a consultant, he responded by saying that I was a wise man. Yikes! Don’t you have to be old to be wise? Had he called me an old warhorse, I’d have known that he had me confused with Jordan Levy.

Then imagine my surprise when he said the rumor is that I’m going to run against District 5 Councilor Bill Eddy. Now I admit that made me picture a sea of red and white Rosen signs once again dotting lawns throughout Tatnuck, Newton and Webster Squares. But didn’t I turn the street corners over to the panhandlers long ago?

In any case, to gain this desirable $27,000 part-time job (with health insurance and pension benefits), I told him that he’ll need to be visible, raise plenty of money, recruit a small army of dedicated volunteers, and say goodbye to his wife and kids for several months. His sense of humor showed when he said he’d miss his kids.

As we talked, he especially was critical of a few city councilors whom he called disinterested, inept and vulnerable at the polls. And I think he’s right that one or two will not run for re-election next year.

While city council elections are mainly popularity contests, he plans to be vocal on the issues. He was able to rattle off several problems that he thinks the

city council either ignores or has no idea how to solve.

He did express concern that going negative might turn voters off. But I told him not to worry because 80 percent of registered Worcester voters stay home and the handful that do vote wouldn’t believe him if he went positive.

I could sense his anger and frustration when he talked about Worcester’s “ineffective, unconvincing and unprofessional attempts to market our city to new investors.” He said, “The economic development efforts of the council and manager are amateurish and “the entire bunch would have trouble selling cold water in the desert.” Ouch.

He questioned why the city council has not expanded the commercial tax base by implementing a version of the Philadelphia Plan which, among others, freezes for 10 years the assessed values of certain decrepit and abandoned commercial properties to spur their use and development.

He thinks the council sold residents out too cheaply by turning much of the East side of the city into a CSX freight depot. “And I expect the council to be equally as helpless in standing up to Massport when it tries to turn the airport and surrounding West side neighborhoods into an undesirable freight hub,” he said.

He mocked the efforts of a few councilors to increase our affordable housing stock. And he said that the city council is oblivious to the fact that even more middleand upper-income families would move to the suburbs if they could sell their overassessed and overtaxed homes.

I laughed when he suggested that the old slogan, “Worcester: Paris of the ’80s”, be updated to “Worcester: New England’s dollar store city.”

Of course I encouraged this firebrand to run for council. His campaign won’t embarrass his mother, but it sure might worry the incumbents.

Local tunes RECORDING IN THE CITY

Zack Slick lays down some banjo tracks at the studio of Luke Bass.

Music stores, production companies and recording studios are the adjuncts to the music scene—thirdparty offshoots that evolve to seize upon the marketable talent of, and/or provide the tools for, the artists who work in the given area. At one time, American bands sought out the major label hubs, originally New York and Chicago, and then Los Angeles, where they could record in fully outfitted studios complete with acoustically tuned rooms, large plate reverbs, isolated control rooms, German-made large diaphragm microphones, and horn-rimmed engineers operating bulky, stateof-the-art mixing consoles. Of course, even then, independent studios existed, making critical contributions to recording arts, and capturing regional sounds that might have gone overlooked by the major labels. The centralization problem was, though, the considerable financial outlay required to design and build appropriate spaces and equip them with the necessary gear.

Of course, technology has, as with many other fields, made the gear ever more available to the consumer, bringing the essential studio outfitting budget from the millions to the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands. Today, for as little as about $200, an enthusiast can purchase a digital recorder with built-in condenser mics, and software that allows for multi-track recording, and even digital effects, on which she can make her own “Sgt. Pepper’s” album. In fact, there’s an app for that: you can multi-track today on your iPhone!

However, while consumer technology is often advertized as the panacea, the promethean provider of the power of the gods (or at least Rick Rubin or George Martin, in this case), the studios – both major league and minor league – remain open, and even seem to be multiplying in certain vibrant musical markets.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Worcester doesn’t have any high profile, majorlabel-aligned studios. In fact, it has few prominent, full-time studios, unlike Boston. The reasons are many. Not only is the scene significantly smaller, but artists can easily record nearby in Boston, Providence, or even New York.

This opportunity is fueled, too, by a

perception that big-city studios will offer better results. Studio owners also point to changes in the recording arts industry that have led to considerably downsized budgets for recording and band development, even among national and international acts.

There’s no record-shaped building, or neon-lit recording studio in downtown Worcester. Like most everything else today, especially in this town, you’ve got to use your nose and snoop around a bit.

Even then, it can be a bit difficult to find decent recording space.

At the top of the local scene there are essentially two studios: Tremolo Lounge, in West Boylston where for close to two decades Roger Lavallee has manned the helm, engineering and producing the lion’s share of local recordings (or, at least, more than anybody else); and Fontanez Recording and Rehearsal Studio, which opened in downtown Worcester last year, where Alejandro Fontanez has grown an impressive resume of urban artists, including a mixing session for Wyclef Jean.

Beneath them, the drop is steep down to part-time studios and project studios, where bands or artists record themselves and their friends. The phone book lists

• AUGUST 2, 2012

perhaps a half dozen operations in Worcester and surrounding towns, though even this scant listing is optimistic and a bit deceiving. Many of the listed numbers are nothing more than home numbers to a kitchen phone whose owner has learned not to anticipate any calls from customers.

The market for good studios in Worcester is thin.

The less suspected reason for the scant listings is the nature of recording studios, which, with the exception of the aforementioned major-label variety, can be – for lack of a better term - sort of mom-and-pop outfits, run by—who else?— musicians, who, according to their nature, eschew slick, established business norms and often operate by word of mouth.

Ask Lavallee for a business card and he’ll write his number on your hand. In fact, you can’t even find Tremolo Lounge without guided instructions. There’s no convenient Main Street address, no neon sign to signal your arrival. The studio is a pastoral, converted suburban house annex.

And though you have no doubt driven (and perhaps even walked) lower Pleasant Street dozens of times, you probably have never noticed that Fontanez Recording Studio exists there.

The decision for Sam Margolis and

Andrew Kramer of Riverview Studios, in Waltham, to go pro, came naturally.

Margolis says of their approach, “It’s all been organic, so we haven’t put a focused effort on trying to build a business. The approach has been more networking and community-based and doing projects that we’re truly interested in and have fun doing.”

The need for instruments beyond the range of the band members while recording their own CDs brought them into contact with a number of area musicians, who then inquired about renting the space for their own projects.

Their studio, too, is tough to spot, hidden within a nondescript suburban home along the Charles River.

To find these studios you must actively seek them, and ingratiate yourself to the local scene, unlike Boston and Providence, where a host of trade magazines devoted to the music scene carry ads for highly competitive studios vying for clients.

Some musicians/engineers prefer it this way.

Luke Bass, an area engineer and bassist with a host of local groups, including The Farmers Union Players and Kalifa and Koliba, has what he refers to as “a project studio on steroids” near College Square,

where, he says, he “can get the quality of a bigger studio.” He has released a fulllength recording by Kalifa and Koliba; is presently working on a follow-up; and has plans for a Farmers Union Players fulllength this year. Bass, however, has little interest in being a business owner.

“I only work with people I like, and I don’t have to make money on it, so I don’t call it professional,” he says. “I keep my day job, and the day job pays for everything, so I only record people I enjoy.

But the quality I’m getting is through the roof.”

Guitarist David Stadig, of Northbridge, who runs David Stadig Studios and King Kat Productions, feels the same way about the business end of recording. “If you’re doing that commercial venture,” he says, “then you’ve got to kind of put up with that stuff.” His motives for building the studio, like many musicians, are personal.

“I publish my own stuff. My whole purpose was really just as an adjunct to being a lifelong musician.”

Modern technology has made it possible for the modern musician, like Stadig and Bass, to forego the professional studio and do it themselves. Innumerable others have, too. Ubiquitous local bluesman, Jon Short, has done lots of his own recording.

Of his numerous CDs since 2005, his 2006 recording “Barrelhouse Ramblers,” with

{ coverstory } Paul Chase (bass) and Josh Teter (drums), “was recorded live here in Worcester with Jonathan (JD) Leary at [Leary’s] home studio”; 2007’s “Three Different Ways,” with Keith Carter (harmonica), “was recorded live at my home studio on Pro Tools”; 2009’s “Live from the Shack at Vincent’s” “was recorded live with one ambient large diaphragm condenser mic on the porch of the shack, using a Zoom 4 and was mixed/mastered by Bill Ryan”; 2010’s “Big Shorty” “was recorded live at my home studio”; 2012’s “Live from the Shack at Vincent’s 2011” and “34 Special (Limited release)” “were recorded live with one ambient large diaphragm condenser mic on the porch of the shack, using a Zoom 4”; and his band Big Eyed Rabbit, with Duncan Arsenault (drums) and Jeff Burch (bass), “just recorded live this past Monday night with Paul Dagnello using a bunch of incredible equipment” at Erick Godin’s Lucky Dog Music Hall.

So, it can be done. And Short’s recordings are hi-fi and clean and professional sounding. Short, however, specializes in a genre of music that values the live over the recorded, the primitive over the complex, vintage over modern, and so, single takes without overdubs, limited effects and editing, and ambience are preferred. continued on page 12

Kramer and Margolis home record, too, except that their home is a studio. They met at the formation of their current band, Comanchero, nearly a decade ago, and, after self-recording the band’s first two CDs, the pair got serious and attended Boston University’s CDIA (Center for Digital Imaging Arts) degree program, applying their newly acquired knowledge to the band’s most recent CD, 2011’s “The Undeserved.”

“I think that recording was just such a natural part of all of our musicianship,” Kramer says. “Sam and I each had our own setup at home.”

Their results, though, testify to the potential quality of “home” recordings.

Margolis says that, even with the first two CDs, “a couple of the tracks got some play on the radio.”

“We got great gigs out of it,” he continues.

got married, and I started doing a lot of mixing at my house. It got busier and busier, and I decided to open a studio right here in Worcester.”

Lavallee says that brilliant recordings are being made locally, both in the city’s professional studios and in “people’s closets.”

“I’m biased, but I’ll say this: Legendary records have been made [at Tremolo Lounge], whether I’ve worked on them or not,” he says. “There are records that I think that I could play for anybody that have been done here over the last 20 years that would blow your mind. So, yeah, I know that it’s possible.”

Lavallee also agrees that the magic could happen on a home project studio.

“I’ve heard stuff that people have done—on their own, in the Worcester area—that is awesome, incredible. People come with demos to me sometimes and they think of it as a scratch demo, and they don’t even realize how great it sounds. I think it

Luke Bass, an area engineer and bassist with a host of local groups, has what he refers to as “a project studio on steroids” near College Square, where he “can get the quality of a bigger studio.”

Fontanez says that the experience of home recording, in addition to being an economic and/or creative necessity, and sometimes a little funky, can be fun. “When I started, I was recording in my friend’s kitchen, on Home Street,” he recalls. “The control room was the kitchen and the vocal booth was the laundry room. We had this joke that the cockroaches were the background vocals.

It was a great time!”

“It was still pretty good recording.

We had Pro Tools [multi-track software], MBox [digital interface], and a decent microphone, and a nice preamp. It was mostly for practicing. We had a band going. It was more for us, just to see how it sounded.”

Fontanez opened his studio after over a decade of travelling as a performer. “I

happens sometimes by skill and sometimes by trial and error and sometimes by dumb luck, especially if you are writing and creating something that is sort of unique sonically. It’s definitely possible and it has happened where people have made amazing stuff – in Worcester and in their closets, or on their laptop or on their iPod.” Fontanez agrees with Lavallee, with stipulations. “I think that the technology is such that you can get a good recording sound [at home]. You’ve just got to learn; you’ve got to know what you’re doing recording-wise.”

Stadig further stipulates, “If you’re very meticulous about what you do, you could have a recording that sounds just as good as something that is done in a professional studio with a poor engineer. It still comes down to, even if you’ve got all this great

equipment, you’ve got to have someone with great ears, and someone who knows how to use the gear to its optimal effect.

I’ve heard a lot of lousy recordings come out of what should be good sounding recordings.”

For their first disc, 2010’s “Live at the Emporium, Vol. II,” J. Stu “Dr. Gonzo” Esty and his band, The Roadkill Orchestra, chose to record on their own at a makeshift studio set up at Gonzo’s Unusual Condiments storefront, because, as Esty says, “It was important for us to record it where we had written and practiced the songs.” So, Esty continues, “Bill Nelson, who had a studio for years above Union Music, was gracious enough to come down and set up a live recording.

With the technology we have today, we could go straight to hard drive.”

This approach wasn’t foreign to Esty.

“I’ve been recording since the ’70s, beginning in my bedroom with reel-toreel recorders and razors, Tascam 4-tracks, all of it.” And the experience of working professionally wasn’t always appealing, he notes. “When I was in Europe I recorded in Nuremburg, and every time you’d go in, you’d see that tape, and when that light would come on there was money going down the drain and you had to either shit or get off the pot. And so it was always nerve-wracking to lay it down that way.”

Self-recording, though, wasn’t without its own inherent problems. “We had some separation problems we had to deal with,” Esty says, but the situation brought out an old-school musical toughness that he liked. “You had to bring your A game. It was a Ramones-style thing. We laid down 16 tracks in six hours. Fourteen were keepers and 12 made it onto the disc.”

Bass’s experience with the pros was similar, and he says that the compulsion

to self-record “started…because we went to the other studios and I didn’t like the sounds we were getting. When we couldn’t get it, we decided – me and my partner at the time – we needed to build the studio ourselves. That’s when I started buying equipment.”

“Best thing I’ve ever done in music, except [to] start playing music,” he says.

According to Bass, the problem with commercial studios is that most artists don’t get to work with producers. “They work with an engineer and they pay by the hour. And the engineer’s job is simply to get a recording, and I think it’s kind of a cookie-cutter recording.

You’re paying by the hour, and you don’t have $10,000 to put into an album, so everybody’s always watching the clock and everybody’s trying to get as many songs in as they can. It doesn’t work, to me, to be a quality album.”

Working in your own studio, he says, is entirely different. “If I don’t like a track, I’ll record it 10 times; I don’t care!”

“Going out and hiring a [commercial] studio,” says Stadig, “would run you anywhere from fifty to one hundred dollars an hour, and if you needed players, you’d have to hire guys or try to get people to do things. If you’re pretty prolific at what you do, those kinds of moneys can add up pretty quickly.”

And like his fellow musicians, desperation became, once again, that mother of invention. “At that point I started researching how I could set up a small project thing for myself and that’s how that took place,” he says.

By all accounts, it is cheaper to record at home, and this is probably the top reason cited for doing so. This presents a lethal business arrangement, when the primary market is poorly paid musicians,

Alejandro Fontanez of Fontanez Recording and Rehearsal Studio, has an impressive resume of urban artists on his client list.

Why hire anyone?

Well, as Lavallee points out, “It’s not immediately apparent to everybody what a large studio—what a producer—can bring to the table. They [home-studio owners] know how to record the stuff, but they don’t know how to mix it; they, perhaps, don’t have the space or the mics or the interface to do a full drum kit, or a full tracking of the backing band.”

The modern compromise, then, says Lavallee, is a mixed effort, whereby artists on a tight budget might track the parts that they feel equipped to handle at home, and hire out the studio for multi-microphone applications, or critical pieces like mixing and mastering, fullband recording, and vocal recording, that require trained, acute ears.

In fact, it’s not only local bands and artists that operate this way. Lavallee says the whole industry does, and that the days of unlimited budgets – even for big-label artists – are long over. Nowadays, he says, signed artists are likely to have a budget of, say $50,000—a paltry sum compared

who no longer enjoy the unbridled patronage of an earlier time. And as noted, an old Tascam four-track can be purchased for next to nothing (in fact, they’re probably being given away today), and you need as little as an iPod with the right app or a basic portable digital recorder.

“Good gear is still expensive. Period,” says Stadig. “But you can do a lot more with the advent of digital equipment and signal processing and all the trappings than you could 10 years ago. I mean, 20 years ago? Forget it!”

“The climate has changed so much in the last 10 or 15 years,” says Lavallee.

“Everybody’s got their own home recording systems, whether it’s Pro Tools or Logic or Garage Band, and they’re able to do really cool stuff.”

So, things have gotten less expensive and more user friendly. Why not just do it all at home? Well, you could also paint your house, repair your own car, service your own computer, home school your children, and transplant your own vital organs (this last one might not be legal).

to the heydays of the 1970s, when major bands would wile away a year or more in a studio developing a project. Today, even bands like Wilco and Los Lobos, for instance, develop ideas and track in their own rehearsal studios, before heading to big studios for mixing, overdubs, and mastering.

Still, Kramer points out, “even there, they have engineers on hand to work the equipment and set up all the microphones,” which frees the band up to do what they ostensibly do best: write and/or perform.

And, as with the bands mentioned above, a mixed approach of personal and professional settings suited Roadkill Orchestra’s needs on their first, selfrecorded effort. “We did the mixdown at a studio down in Whitinsville,” says Esty.

Moreover, not all exiled recordists are able or willing to invest the considerable time, money and energy required to do it right at home, as Bass has.

“About two years ago I found myself a nice isolated room where I could record anytime I wanted, but it was really small.

I moved down the hall and got a much bigger room and was able to put in the extra rooms. I had the gear to do it. I didn’t have what a professional studio would have in the isolation rooms and the windows, so people could actually see each other while they play even though they’re in separate rooms. That was basically the next logical step to getting a better recording: having finely tuned rooms and a real recording environment instead of a band room.”

Another crucial element that doesn’t come – either included or optional – with the purchase of recording equipment, is a producer’s ears, and years of experience.

“To work with a great producer and put real money and real time into an album? I would absolutely love to do that,” admits Bass. “Recording can be a daunting process. It’s a lot of hours of mixing, a lot of hours in the studio. I would love to just be able to walk in somebody else’s studio, lay my tracks, and walk out, and

are simply baffled and overwhelmed get a great recording. But without having with the prospect of outfitting a studio, either great people producing it or a lot mastering a litany of highly technical of money backing it, that doesn’t usually devices, and devoting years to developing happen.” the subtle hearing skills required of good “Bands come here just because they recordings. And all agree that Worcester don’t want to deal with any of the setup has studios that offer this professional and the tweaking or the troubleshooting, experience. or anything,” Kramer explains. “By the “There are very good studios in time you’re done getting the sound you like and checking for phase coherency and Worcester,” asserts Bass. “You definitely do not have to go elsewhere. No matter getting the levels all right, sometimes it’s what your style is, there’s someone out tough then to go be creative, when your mind is all focused on the technical aspects.”

One additional bit of useful wisdom Saxophonist Leighton that Margolis and Kramer acquired Kennedy during a during those formative recordings session at the was that “it’s pretty easy to fuck up a Fontanez Studio. recording.”

Fontanez agrees with this wisdom.

“When it comes to the engineering part – to mixing – that’s when you need the help,” he says.

Ultimately, musicians must face this truth. “I am a composer and a performer. I am not an engineer,” says Esty, whose second album “was designed to be the next level up, a studio one. We were fortunate enough to get into Tremolo Lounge.” The benefit, he says, was in the engineer.

Lavallee’s abilities, he says, are “phenomenal. He hears every fucking note! His musical knowledge is so vast. You say, ‘I’m trying to get this sort of a vibe, this sort of a feel, in this kind of a color, and the sound of the ocean,’ and he knows exactly what you’re talking about. He’s been there that has a decent enough studio that around long enough so that he can get can record you at a much better price than any kind of a sound. And, plus, with the you can get in Boston.” gear that he’s got there….”

Kramer at Riverview Studios says that Ah! To have a professional, who has they’re doing very well west of Boston, been through all the trials and errors, and and that business is increasing. “We’ll has spent years developing an ear for have maybe five ongoing different recorded music. projects, where we’re mixing one project, “You just go in there and play and that, we’re recording another, we’re cofor me, is the essence of making music, producing another. It’s basically two to says Esty. “If I had unlimited resources, I three nights a week we’re working on would ensconce the band in the recording other people’s stuff and one night a week studio and never fucking leave!” we’re focusing on our stuff.”

Studios stay alive because some artists

Still, Margolis says, it’s not enough to go full-time. “That’s where the day job comes in,” he says. “I think we could [make a living on the studio], but we’d have to work our freaking asses off, networking the hell out of bands around here.”

Fontanez says of area studios, “We are cheaper than other cities. We get great quality here. There are people who have been to Boston who now know about this studio and who now come out here.” His STEVEN KING

optimism is buoyed by the movement of Boston’s Bristol Studios, which opened a voice studio with him and are now training singers here.

This trend makes him hopeful for the future. “Hopefully in five years – 10 years – we’re going to need more studios to open up to handle the business.

Right now, it’s not a big music scene in Worcester,” he says. “There are a lot of great artists, but Worcester is that type of city where you have to push people to get them involved.”

Modern Psychedelicism at Dark World Gallery Vanessa Formato

“I’m a little surprised,” isn’t exactly what you’d expect to hear when you ask an artist how he feels about his first solo show, but, to be fair, you’d be surprised if you were in Canman’s shoes, too.

What started as an inquiry into group exhibitions at the Dark World Gallery ended up as something even more thrilling for this tattooist and painter, and certainly for Worcester’s art lovers as well. If you’re looking for vivid color and smart social commentary, Canman’s got you covered.

“I’ve been an artist since I was a kid, but it wasn’t until I got into tattooing that I started to explore painting,” Canman says. He’s soft-spoken, but his enthusiasm is palpable.

“The biggest influence I think that I get from my tattooing is just the content and the variety of styles,” Canman says. “There are a lot of tattoo artists that are very specialized in the type of art and the type of tattooing that they do, while for myself I like to do a

wide range of things. I get customers wanting a whole wide range of styles and imagery, taking from different genres, that’s really opened me up in my painting.”

“I get inspired by everyday life, as cliché as that sounds,” Canman adds. “I end up painting what interests me—or aggravates me.”

As the show’s title, Modern Psychedelicism, suggests, Canman draws some of that inspiration from the past as well. He’s a big fan of ’60s psychedelic posters, and that aesthetic comes through clearly in his work, though the pieces don’t look anything close to dated. He describes his style as a fusion of visionary art, illustration and surrealism. Along with the psychedelic flair he gives his paintings comes a tendency to think, ask questions and delve into social issues.

“My work has a lot of environmental and social imagery,” Canman, who counts Ron English and Banksy among his contemporary influences, says. “I’m just starting to touch upon [political themes].”

One piece, “Watch Yourself,” is particularly striking. There’s something uncomfortably familiar in the three men, arms crossed, dressed in business suits and American flag ties, with surveillance cameras for heads. Canman explains that he got the inspiration for the piece from a trip to London, where the police officers don’t carry guns as frequently as they do in America, but security cameras are ubiquitous.

“I feel like the U.S. is going in that direction,” Canman says. The messages in most of his pieces aren’t quite as blatant, but just as thought-provoking. The collection that will be at Dark World is tied together by an abundance of social consciousness mixed and delightfully trippy imagery.

When he’s not painting, Canman runs Visions Tattoo, Piercing & Art Gallery with his wife, Angela Cannistraro, who he credits as his biggest supporter and a huge help promoting his work.

“Modern Psychedelicism by Canman” opens on August 4 with a reception and artist meet-and-greet from 7-10 p.m. In addition to the showcase of 10 to

15 of Canman’s paintings, there will be drinks, hors d’oeuvres and live blues slide guitar by Massachusetts’ Kevin James.

“Back in high school, we were both into metal,” says Canman, who went to school with the guitarist.

“He taught himself how to play guitar, and he played Metallica and Megadeth and all this crazy stuff. He’s one of those guys that goes at it full-boar, and in the last few years he got away from metal and starting playing Delta blues. He’s an incredible musician.”

Like most artists, Canman hopes that audiences find themselves having fun and enjoying the show, but he also hopes that the collection proves challenging to them in some way.

“Even if people don’t like it—they say ‘I really don’t like that painting, it bothers me,’ I feel like I’ve done my job,” Canman says. “If I’ve elicited some sort of emotion, that’s enough for me.”

Modern Psychedelicism by Canman, August 4-31.

Witness the beauty in the abandoned world Vivien Goldman’s “Left and Let Be” Taylor Nunez

Vivien Goldman’s process may be out of the ordinary to budding photographers today. The seasoned Bostonbased professional conscientiously and deliberately sets her 4x5 view camera on her image all in preparation of getting the shot. In solitude, Goldman will have to wait to see what her preciseness brings when her photographs come to life in the dark room. Coming to Jacob Edwards Library in Southbridge, on August 2, Goldman will present the fruit of her labor in her “Left and Let Be” exhibit featuring photographs of abandoned structures—from homes and churches to schools and barns— in North Dakota.

In addition to being a photographer, Goldman, a San Franciscan who moved to Massachusetts to pursue her master’s degree in library sciences some forty odd years ago, also works as a librarian at the Public Library of Brookline, Goldman uses photography to find the imagination in things inside and outside that drive human beings to feel and seeks to conjure reminiscent memories. “When I come up to one of these buildings and set up my camera, I use the available light from a window or

open door, the spaces within the building or even outside, and try to create an image that is evocative of the lives of the people who lived and worked there and who loved the beautiful wooden chair that broke and was left by an open window,” Goldman describes, painting a typical scenario. Inspiring her journey

roots. “My aesthetic is influenced by West Coast photography—black-and-white, sharp images that Adams, Weston and countless others of their generation and later worked in. I love the high contrast image with details in the shadows and highlights,” explains Goldman. To capture this type of photograph, Goldman sticks

to illuminate the stories of older objects and buildings was Pablo Neruda’s poems, “Odes to Common Things.” The poems spoke to Goldman as she found that they “celebrate the ordinary things of everyday life and carry within them the stories, real or imagined, of the people that used them.”

When it comes to Goldman’s technique in photography, she goes back to her

to the older fashioned ways of picture taking—film photography. Though she admits digital photography has come a long way, Goldman sticks to the quiet and slower process. “It is a contemplative activity that I love and don’t want to give up for the quick satisfaction that digital offers,” Goldman states.

Sticking to her favorite medium has proved right for Goldman. Her work

catches the eye of photography junkies and even caught the eye of fellow librarian Margaret Morrissey. Director of the Jacob Edwards Library in Southbridge, Ireland-native Morrissey met Goldman through Digital Commonwealth, the online library for Massachusetts. Morrissey, a member of the executive board, had known of Goldman as she is a past president of Digital Commonwealth. Over a year ago, the exhibition committee wrote to Goldman to present her work resulting in the upcoming exhibit. Citing the depth of Goldman’s photographs, Morrissey speaks highly of Goldman’s work stating, “The atmosphere she creates in her pieces is captivating—there is a compelling quality to her work and there is a quietness and reflection that absorbs one’s attention.”

Morrissey has high hopes for Goldman’s exhibit to reach a wider audience and that each viewer can recognize the artist’s personality and how she looks at the world in her photos.

For Goldman, success is when a viewer can not only be moved by the beauty of the images, but project themselves into the places they are seeing and use their imagination as to what it is like to live there.

“A viewer once commented to me that, ‘Your photographs are so full of life and people,’ and I felt I had succeeded!”

To step into the abandoned world of North Dakota, do not miss the “Left and Let Be” exhibit beginning Thursday, August 2, with a reception, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., where visitors can meet Goldman. The exhibit will be available until August 31. For more information on the exhibit, visit jacobedwardslibrary.org; to see more from Vivien Goldman, visit viviengoldmanphotography.com.

Piccolo’s STEVEN KING

FOOD ★★★★1/2 AMBIENCE ★★★★ SERVICE ★★★★ VALUE ★★★ 157 Shrewsbury St., Worcester • piccolos157.com • 508-754-1057

Shrewsbury Street standard worth a second look Marc Cochon

Walking into Piccolo’s, you note the dark décor, muted lighting, and distinctive tin ceiling of this former bank.

A few friends sharing stories at the bar glance up to see if they know you. Chances are Dean Martin is crooning over the sound system, just as he does on Piccolo’s website.

Admittedly it’s a bit annoying on the website; but at the restaurant, Dino provides the perfect backdrop. This is an old-school, upscale Shrewsbury Street scene.

Piccolo’s dining room is comfortable: the sort of place where the boss might

treat his best earners; or maybe — back to the wall — work out a beef with someone.

The menu features both Italian-American favorites and dishes that one would actually find in Italy. Our friendly waitress informs us that the kitchen will make anything we want, so we shouldn’t feel afraid to go off-menu. That feels a little like Italy, too.

The boss would be sure to approve of Asparagi “Milanese Style” — it’s the perfect summer starter. Thin asparagus have been cooked just to the right point and topped with a nicely runny egg, sunny side up, and plenty of black pepper. The yolk blends into a puddle of good olive oil to create a rich sauce worth sopping up with Piccolo’s thinly-sliced Italian bread, which has a nice, firm crumb.

Insalata Fatima takes the “chopped salad” concept to an extreme, and works brilliantly. A tiny dice of romaine, tomato, salami, mozzarella, onions, peppers and more has been tied together by a sweet and tangy vinaigrette. Addictive and satisfying, this salad is a good example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

Homemade pasta is a strength.

CELEBRATE SUMMER

WITH THE F L AVORS OF THE

MEDITERRANEAN

INSALATE FRESCA

Ravioli Ricardo features wonderfully thin and tender pasta encasing just the right amount of veal and cheese. The suave sauce is densely flavored by mushrooms, sage and maybe a splash of Madeira. Julienned prosciutto adds texture and a touch of saltiness, and dabs of creamy goat cheese provide a rich finish. In a city with a lot of pasta, this is a pasta dish that really stands out.

Pollo e Melanzana Sorrentina is a light riff on parmigiana — chicken and eggplant have been lightly battered and browned, then layered with marinara and mozzarella. The chicken is moist and tender, the eggplant nicely crisp at the edges, although there’s a subtle bitter taste — maybe from the frying oil. The dish is served with gemelli pasta, nicely al dente, in a simple and fresh marinara sauce.

Only a couple of desserts are offered.

Chocolate molten cake is a light version, with a warm chocolate sauce poured over a mini-bundt round of chocolate sponge. Sided with rich, unsweetened

night day &

{ dining}

whipped cream, it’s satisfying without being too heavy.

Piccolo’s features a full bar, and offers a mostly Italian wine list with several reasonably priced options, plus more special options.

Service is friendly, prompt and professional. Our water glasses are kept filled by a waitress who is good at knowing when we need her and when we don’t.

Salads and appetizers range from $5 to $13, and are large enough to share. Main courses are mostly in the high teens and low twenties. A meal for two, including a modest bottle of wine, costs about $90 before the tip.

Aside from a few interruptions by Sinatra and Pavarotti, Dean Martin has serenaded us every bite of the way, and we’ll sort of miss him when we leave.

In a city with more Italian restaurants than you can shake a breadstick at, Piccolo’s gets it right with top-notch cuisine, quality service and an atmosphere that evokes the neighborhood’s distinct character.

NU Café 335 Chandler St., Worcester 508-926-8800 nucafe.com TASTE ★★★★ AMBIENCE ★★★ 1/2 SERVICE ★★★★ VALUE ★★★ 1/2

Located in the old Tatnuck Bookseller’s building on Chandler Street, NU Café continues to support the Worcester community with open mic nights and serving as a meeting place for several groups. While their whole menu offers a lot, something nearly every diner has is one of the café’s smoothies.

The menu includes whole-fruit choices with a base of nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt, coffee-based smoothies, “supercharged” smoothies, tropical smoothies, and “indulgent” smoothies. I tried two, the NU Creation in the whole fruit variety and the more indulgent Sweet STEVEN KING Dream.

The NU Creation had a nice “fresh” flavor to it. The yogurt lent only the slightest tang and sweetness; the fruit flavor was the real punch, particularly the raspberries, but I could still pick out the strawberry and pineapple.

It was sweet, but not overly sweet and went well all of the menu items being shared at the table.

Sweet Dream definitely lives up to its name and classification - it is decadent! The chocolate and peanut butter are rich without being cloying, and the banana melded them together perfectly.

If you need something cold and refreshing or simply cold and comforting this summer, definitely take a swing by NU Café for a smoothie!

Mystery Book Club reads Death at La Fenice. The Jacob Edwards Library is pleased to present a monthly book discussion!

The group is informal and friendly and new participants are welcome.

Library staff will obtain copies of each title, one month before the discussion date. Please inquire at the Information Desk to reserve your copy of next month’s title! This month’s title for discussion is Death at La Fenice by Donna Leon: “There is little violent crime in Venice, a serenely beautiful floating city of mystery and magic, history and decay. But the evil that does occasionally rear its head is the jurisdiction of Guido Brunetti, the suave, urbane vice-commissario of police and a genius at detection. Now all of his admirable abilities must come into play in the deadly affair of Maestro Helmut Wellauer, a worldrenowned conductor who died painfully from cyanide poisoning during an intermission at La Fenice. But as the investigation unfolds, a chilling picture slowly begins to take shape--a detailed portrait of revenge painted with vivid strokes of hatred and shocking depravity. And the dilemma for Guido Brunetti will not be finding a murder suspect, but rather narrowing the choices down to one.” Free. 6:30-7:30 p.m. Jacob Edwards Library, Reading Room, 236 Main St., Southbridge. 508-7645426 or https://facebook.com.

STEVEN KING

Two minutes with...

Yan Wang

Yan Wang may only be 34 years old, but he has already been across the world and achieved some pretty impressive accomplishments. Born and raised in Tianjin, China, Wang completed his doctoral degree in engineering materials at the University of Windsor, Ontario. He came to the United States for a postdoctoral appointment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He now lives in Shrewsbury with his two boys and his wife and is a professor at WPI. Recently Wang won the Catalyst Award for his research on batteries.

With all this in mind, we had to find some time in Wang’s busy schedule to ask him a couple of questions about teaching, the Catalyst Award and clean energy.

Why did you choose to come to the United States, Worcester in particular?

After I received Ph.D. degree, I had a chance to work with professor YetMing Chiang at MIT, who is one of the giants in lithium ion batteries. In 2010, I was fortunate to be offered a position in WPI’s Mechanical Engineering Department, which brought me to Worcester. My favorite thing about the city is that it is a quiet town when compared to Boston, which makes it especially suitable for research.

Why did you want to become a professor? Being a professor allows

me to do the research work that I enjoy. I like the students at WPI who are motivated to learn from their professors.

What is your favorite class to teach and why? After I joined WPI, I developed

a new graduate course, Materials for Electrochemical Energy Systems, which

covers my area of research. This is my favorite course because I enjoy imparting the latest research in this area to my students.

How did you become interested in batteries and energy innovations? My

education and research background is about batteries and energy storage.

I believe that energy storage is the key element for developing renewable energy sources.

Tell us a little bit about your new design for flow batteries for grid energy storage that won you the Catalyst Award.

Current flow battery technology has a low energy density because of the low solubility of active electrochemical materials in solution. This limits its usefulness. In our design, we suspend nickel and zinc particles in aqueous solutions and are able to get a very high density of active materials. This high solubility translates into very high

energy density. With our design, the suspended metal particles also serve as the battery’s anode and cathode— essentially the positive and negative poles. So, in addition to high energy density, our technology can be made less expensively than traditional flow batteries.

they are designed to have high energy density, but also be simple, cheap and reliable, with the potential for a favorable long-term performance/cost ratio.

Why should our scientists be working on things such as fuel cells, lithium ion batteries, etc.? What is the significance of these technologies for future generations? One of the key elements

to talk about my own research to help students understand why batteries are important and what batteries can do to help meet our energy needs in the future.

to developing cost-effective renewable energy (for example, solar and wind power) is how to store the energy these systems produce when it is not needed immediately by the electric grid.

Batteries are an obvious way to solve this storage problem, but the batteries we turn to must be able to store a lot of energy, specifically high energy density, and not be so expensive that they will drive up the cost of renewable power. The batteries we are developing are aimed at meeting this challenge, as

How do you inspire young students to want to pursue these types of technologies? In my class, I always try

Where do you see the future of clean energy going? With increasing oil prices

and environmental concerns, clean energy must be widely developed.

Many countries, including the United States, have invested a lot of funding in this area, but more needs to be done.

In this century, the country that leads in energy research will lead the world.
