Speaking of Graham’s studio Bellows, here are some photographs I took during a recent Ostracon session. Click the image to see the entire gallery on Google+. One of the things that made the session interesting was using the Moog Minitaur that was available in the studio. Although not nearly as flexible as the Pro-One, it’s pretty easy to coax great sounds out of the Minitaur. Here’s a nice woody bass texture from the session.

Here’s a quick change of pace. The drummer that you have been hearing in the last six entries is, of course, Graham O’Brien who is also responsible for remixing the Guante track This is the Opposite of a Suicide Note. As well as being an excellent drummer, Graham is a seasoned producer who has recently teamed up with Adam Krinsky to form Bellows Studios in St. Paul, Minnesota where he produced, mixed, and mastered this remix. These are the same studios where Ostracon is working on our second album.
Track six is also from the Ostracon performance at the 2011 Eyeo Festival. If you’d like to hear more from this collection please comment, share, retweet, like, or insert method through which you are comfortable and adept at spreading the word. Thanks!

Please enjoy track 4 of 14 out of a collection of Ostracon mixes from three consecutive live shows last year. Each track is an untitled improvisation roughly mixed and edited for length. Ostracon is Graham O’Brien on drums and John Keston on electronics. If you’d like to hear more from this collection please comment, share, or like. Thanks!
