Amateuer Recordings (2008-2015)
A collections of folk, punk, and alternative records made in my garage as a teenager and young adult. All instruments on all Horned Animal tracks were recorded and played by me (Michael Ashby). Tracks under the Pretty Pleases / Velvet Senses were recorded alongside Tyler W. and Dina J., bassist and drummer. For live performances, Michael A. (not Michael Ashby) took over as lead guitarist and I (Michael Ashby) played bass. Horned Animals tracks were recorded using a multi-mic setup for each instrument and Ableton Live, whereas the Pretty Pleases and Velvet Senses tracks have signficantly worse audio quality, as they were recorded on single, mixed use mics and were mixed in the free audio program Audacity.
Enjoy these artifacts from a short lived time in live performance, and if you ever saw us play in South Florida, I would love to hear from you!
