about

The Decades project started when Greg Badolato asked me to come on a Berklee Audition and Interview trip to the Middle East, to do auditions, clinics, and concerts in Israel, the West Bank, and Jordan. Then he asked me to join in for a similar trip to Kobe and Tokyo, Japan. I thought it would be fun to take a few of my older compositions and realize them afresh with new technology, and arrange them for a trio performance: Greg on Tenor sax, me on guitar and synthesizers, and a MacBook Pro for interactive backing tracks. The concerts were unexpectedly well-received, so we decided to record. The next thing I knew it had turned into an 18 month-long project culminating in the two disc set entitled “Decades.”

Decades features Greg Badolato on tenor sax, and David Mash performing all other instrumental parts. David plays guitar and keyboards, and used Logic Studio and a variety of software instruments running on a Macintosh computer to produce this recording. David plays Godin guitars, used a Roland VG-99 with FC-300 and an Apogee GiO to connect his guitars to the computer for audio and MIDI data. David’s Mac used a PreSonus FireStudio 2626 with MRC as an audio interface. In addition to the Logic instruments, David also uses the Korg Legacy Collections, Sonoma Wireworks’ DrumCore, Spectrasonics Omnisphere and Trillian, Synthogy Ivory II, and Arturia’s MiniMoog software. David also uses Line 6 PodFarm 2 for processing his guitar sounds. For mixing, we used the Euphonix Artist Series control surfaces.

SPECIAL THANKS to Erica, Reesa, & Sasha for their inspiration and support. To Peter and Greg: your contribution to this work is immeasurable, and I am forever in your debt. BIG thanks to Wendy, Audrey, and Erin for the artwork, graphic layout and photos! To Dave Dysart for his input on the mixes. To Janet and Robert Godin for your friendship and wonderful instruments. To Eric Pursing and Spectrasonics, Michelle & Dug Wright at Sonoma Wireworks, Lee Whitmore and Ken Johnson at Avid, Gerhard Lengeling at Apple, Joe Ierardi at Synthogy, Jim Odum & Bob Tudor at PreSonus, to Mr. Kakehashi, Scott Tibbs, and all my friends at Roland, and all the good folks at Apogee and Korg.
