Hey guys, My new Tubemeister 18, which has been nothing but amazing for 3 months, is now producing a strange sound that's hard to describe. So here it is, on Soundcloud and attached. Same clip, once with the Redbox direct out and the other from SM57 miked through Marshall 1936...

Hey guys, It's the second in our series of interpretations from 2015. Check it out: Here's the song by itself on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/eschersenigma/invincible-pat-benatar And here's a link to the mp3 in full quality...

Hey guys, My father and I (Escher's Enigma) have been rearranging and interpreting famous (and not-so-famous) songs over the past year or so, just for fun. We'll be releasing them one at a time over the next few months for free. We're just using them to draw some attention to our original EPs...

Hey everyone, Ever since moving into this new apartment 2 years ago I've been combating the nastiest 60 cycle hum ever. I'm positive that's what it is - the kind of hum that comes and goes as you rotate throughout the room. I can find the two 180 degree points in which to stand where it...

Hey guys, I adore my Fender Mustang II for its clean and blues tones. Even though it's solid state, the clean/blues tones that come out of this $200 amp are killer when miked. But I've always had trouble dialing in a great rock tone. Still, I wanted to have the option not to lug my Peavey JSX...

Hey everyone! Many months ago I uploaded an interpretation of "Fortunate Son" by CCR (if you haven't heard it, there's a reason I'm not calling it a cover). We had lots of great feedback and made adjustments accordingly. UPDATE 12/12...

Hey guys, I've got a brand new Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro. It's my first guitar with a Tune-o-matic bridge. I have many guitars with Fender style and Floyd Rose, so I'm not used to the design. It appears that you cannot adjust the individual saddle heights on the Tune-o-matic. The...

Hey everyone! My father and I (Escher's Enigma) are back in the studio. Our recent album For a Moment was mostly originals, but our interpretation of "Sweet Child O' Mine" had critics and listeners talking. So we decided to go make an entire album of interpretations of classic songs. We're...

Hey everyone! I've been absent these wonderful forums for the past few months while finishing a nationwide tour and gearing up for a few major events. One of those major events was: I was invited to speak at a TEDx conference in Connecticut. Description: Magicians have mastered the art of...

Hey everyone, I have always recorded guitar and vocals separately with great success, and I advocate this technique constantly on the forums. However I am working on an interpretation of "Missed the Boat" by Modest Mouse, a song with great significance in my life, and I'm just in the early demo...

My father and I have been working on a cool cover project where we're reinterpreting famous songs from different eras with slightly or drastically different genres. So here's a strange pop rock version of "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down. All the parts have been tracked (finally) and this is a very...

Hey everyone, My father are I are a studio project called Escher's Enigma. I handle vocals, guitar, piano, MIDI programming, and all production aspects. My father handles the bass. We collaborate on all songwriting. We have a combined 40+ years of professional live and studio music experience...

Hey guys, This is a mix I did for a live video from a recent theater show. For those of you who don't know, I do a one-man variety show combining magic, comedy, mind reading, and music. Anyway the mix was challenging because it was so naked. I had two sources: feed from Rode camera condenser...

Hey guys, I've got this new song I've been writing for my girlfriend. We've been together for a long time. The first song I ever wrote for her is on an upcoming commercial release of mine, and she's been telling me ever since how much she would love it if I wrote another one. Anyway, she's got...

Hey guys, My girlfriend found an acoustic guitar she bought a few years back with the intention of learning to play and then never followed through. I wanted to see how it sounded, so I recorded a live in-studio cover of The Who's "I'm One". It is two tracks, two mics: one on the vox, and one...

Hey everyone, This is my first post on Home Recording, but I've been lurking for ages. I'm the singer, songwriter, and guitarist for Escher's Enigma. I also went to school for audio engineering, originally, and thus I produce our music in a home studio. With two EPs under our belt we are...
