BLACK MARBLE
BIGGER THAN LIFE -SB 15TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION- (SACRED BONES)
Royal Blue Vinyl for this SB 15 year Edition. Third album from Chris Stewar as Black Marble, back then newly living in Los Angeles, fresh off a move from New York.
As with every Black Marble album, Stewart recorded, produced, and played everything you hear on Bigger Than Life using entirely analog gear, though the process was new.
This time around, he wrote everything on his MPC and sequenced it live to his synths - only using the computer to record, not to create.
He also approached his vocals in a new way this time, bringing them forward in the mix and retreating from the reverb-drenched affect he has utilized in the past.
"Everything about this record from the album art to the title, to the themes to all the sounds on the record is my response to this particular time," Stewart says.
