In Heaven Buddha Mix released on Spotify Mid March is the first studio appearance of Acoustic Astroanut frontman, Dave Alyassin, in over ten years. Recorded at Santa Fe Soundworks with Chief Engineer David Cragin at the helm. Alyassin sang into an AKG 251 mic which was later processed through a harmonizer. Alyassin played a late 70s Hohner acoustic guitar made by “Morris” in Japan, the same guy that made Prince's Telecaster. Cragin added the ethereal electric guitar lead using a Gibson Les Paul, played with an Ebow into a Vox AC30 Amp. For some reason we slowed the tempo way down. You can actually tell in the guitar playing that it was challenging. Also, the placement of the bridge was spontaneous to the session. The ending also. Hoping some listeniners enjoy this Buddah mix.

Updates & News 

Just made a video of a song called Prayin'. Hoping there is a better response than our latest release A Life We Dare to Keep. Although tight, clean & creative, it may not have enough rebelliousness? Not sure. With that point in mind, the song Sweet Smell of Decay seems to have some traction. Stay tuned for the release of Prayin' and the release on Spotify and the video premiered on KQED in Albuquerque.
