So, you can record a lot of albums and stay in your country, but it’s hard to get heard outside of that. This is a step toward promoting [my music] outside of Germany— in other European countries and in the U.S.—I have this freedom now.” It’s hard to doubt Rudolph’s expertise in the matter, given her years of experience working with some of Europe’s best labels. She released Salvador—in both French and German versions—in 2011 on Verve/ Universal Music; Metamorflores in 2009 and Brazaventure in 2007 on Enja Records; and Book Of Travels in 1996 and Paintings in 1994 on Nabel Records.

  • ENDINO's EARTHWORM “UNEARTHED” Liner Notes
    ENDINO'S EARTHWORM “UNEARTHED” Liner Notes BANDCAMP EXCLUSIVE: Released November 6, 2020 COMPLETE REMIX/RESTORATION of my semi-obscure 2nd solo record from 1992, intended as a follow-up and continuation of Angle Of Attack (1989), plus a half-hour's worth of bonus tracks from the same creative period, 1985-1996. With hindsight I later realized Jim Blanchard's cover art was better than the music, because my engineering and original mixes were not great. But this has now been remedied! Restoring this was quite a journey. I even had Jim update the cover art, because it's kind of a new record now. I hope you enjoy it. Recorded by Jack Endino at Studio Endino, Reciprocal Recording, Hanzsek Audio, Private Radio, and the Crocodile. Remixed and mastered 2020 by JE. -- Guitar & Vocs: Jack Endino, except on "Edge Of Unease" the guitar is Greg Gilmore. -- Drums: Barrett Martin, Greg Gilmore, "Matt C", Jack. -- Bass: Rob Skinner, Pat Pedersen, Daniel House, Jack. -- Misc percussion: Barrett, Greg, Jack. -- Cover art: Jim Blanchard (1992 orig, updated 2020). THE SONGS 01 How Much Time REMIX -- Recorded by Jack and Rich Hinklin (that's him saying "you're rolling") on 1-inch 16-track at Reciprocal, Dec 1989. Remixed 2020. This is drummer Barrett Martin's earliest released performance! He joined Skin Yard right after we did this session (also songs 2, 3 and 5). Jack - Guitar/vocals, Barrett Martin - drums, Rob Skinner - bass. Written by Jack (BMI). 02 Talk Yourself Blind REMIX -- Recorded by Jack and Rich Hinklin on 1-inch 16- track at Reciprocal, Dec 1989.

  • Jacknife Lee
    Jacknife Lee It is fair to say that Jacknife Lee has become one of the most sought after and highly influential producers currently at work. Lee’s career has encompassed work with some of the biggest and most influential artists on both sides of the Atlantic in the shape of Taylor Swift, U2, R.E.M., Kasabian, Robbie Williams and Neil Diamond. His work on U2’s “How To Dismantle An Atom Bomb” saw him collect two Grammy Awards in 2006 as well as Producer of the Year at the UK MMF Awards. He was also again Grammy nominated in 2013 for his work on Swift’s multi-million selling album “Red.” Currently working on what looks set to be the biggest album from Scottish alt-rock heroes Twin Atlantic and the debut album from The Gossip’s Beth Ditto, Lee has also produced a handful of tracks on Jake Bugg’s upcoming third album and is just about to commence work with Two Door Cinema Club after their successful collaboration on Beacon two years previously. In 2014, Lee was honoured to be asked to co-produce Neil Diamond’s “Melody Road” album alongside the tremendously talented Don Was. “Melody Road” debuted at #3 in America and #4 in the UK as it received universal critical acclaim. Lee has gained much recognition as a writer producer over the last five years. In 2014 also Lee co write and produced various singles for Kodaline’s second album “Coming Up For Air” which peaked at #2, while he also produced and co-wrote Twin Atlantic’s Radio 1 A-listed singles “Heart and Soul” and “Brothers and Sisters.” In addition, Lee spent some of the year writing and producing track for alternative urban artist Raury.

  • Antioch University COMMON THREAD
    Antioch University COMMON THREAD JANUARY 25, 2018 SANTA BARBARA CAMPUS & COMMUNITY BEGIN RECOVERY FROM THOMAS FIRE AND MONTECITO FLOOD DISASTERS The Antioch University Santa Barbara campus and surrounding community was significantly impacted by the Thomas Fire -now measured as the largest wildfire in California history- in December 2017, and by the subsequent floods and mudslides in Montecito on January 9, 2018. At the time of writing this, twenty lives were confirmed lost and three are missing as a result of the mudslide tragedy. Highway 101, the only highway route in and out of the city toward the south, remains closed as Caltrans clears mud and debris. To say the least, our entire campus community has been tremendously impacted by the injury and loss of people we may know. In addition, many of us have experienced damage and loss of homes and property, as well as the impact of damaged infrastructure, isolation or disruption of transportation, and local economic impact. Antioch University has responded in a number of ways to generously support students, staff, and faculty in Santa Barbara. For example, AU increased the number of pro Zoom accounts for each academic department which allow faculty to include all students in their classes so that they may make academic progress. We remain grateful to first responders, search and rescue crews, and the current search and recovery teams in our area. The compassion and kindness demonstrated by the recovery teams has been appreciated as we mourn the loss of those in our community, and acknowledge the profound impact on each one of us.

Then, they started attracting more and more attention until they were making music with genuine mainstream appeal. Between 1991 and 1992 alone, they released the folk- inspired Out of Time and the baroque Automatic For The People, making them easily the most successful band to attack the audiences of the early grunge era with both mandolins ("Losing My Religion") and string arrangements (A good chunk of Automatic ).
