Knoxville – Baker Acres http://www.baker-acres.com The Music of John T. Baker Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:23:09 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.6 Studio Update http://www.baker-acres.com/studio-update/ Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:23:09 +0000 http://www.baker-acres.com/?p=206 Continue reading →]]> Yeah, well, it’s been about a hundred years since I updated this. But we have been working away at the new studio. We are hopefully in the home stretch on this thing. We’re painting the interior, trimming out the doors & windows. I never would’ve dreamed that we’d still be working on this project when we broke ground last January. But the difficulties of building in a year in which we met our yearly average rainfall total in July have pronounced themselves over and over. Endless mud, days lost because it was too wet to work. It has been a lesson in patience. But I keep telling myself to focus on the end result.

The space inside the studio is going to be everything I had hoped for. Lots of light, nice views. It’s an inspirational setting to be in, up in the trees. And that’s why I have decided to name the studio The Arbor Studio. The building is very tall and surrounded by gorgeous East Tennessee hardwood forest. It is my intention to let the woods grow back in around the building so that it stays as close to it’s natural setting as possible. The woodwork on the building is amazingly beautiful and my builder is putting his best craftsmanship to work to create what I think is going to be a remarkable building. I hope to record remarkable music there. With good luck and skill the building will be finished in a month. So Spring will be time to get it set up to record.

Have a listen and if you like, I hope you’ll buy one. And if you’re one of those collector types, order the physical CD. It’s worth it. Handmade and designed by George Middlebrooks at www.asideproject.com . Thanks for your beautiful art George.

There will only be 50 copies of this.

On the live music front, econopop and I have been playing all over Knoxville this month in preparation for the CD release party on April 23rd in the Sunsphere! That’s right, In. The. Sunsphere. Keep an eye out for details on that.

So I guess that’s what’s up at Baker Acres. I’m anxious to get back to work on the next album, which is about half done. It’s gonna be wild! Totally different than Woodgrain. I just wrote a song for it yesterday called Poison. It’s techno. Yeah. I said that. Wait and see.

Thanks for reading.
John
