Disco Biscuits - Jon Gutwillig and Aron Magner

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

This is another report by the elusive, intrepid and fearless CEO of Source Audio, Roger Smith.

 

We have been working with the Disco Biscuits for about a year and one half.  Lead guitarist Jon Gutwillig started using the Hot Hand Phaser/Flanger regularly and as a result, we drop in to see their shows whenever they are in town.  Their music is categorized as “trance fusion jam”, but whatever it is we like it and we are not alone!  The Biscuits have not only developed their own organic fan base, but they have also benefitted from the huge worldwide interest in Electronica.

 

In addition to being a regular Hot Hand Phaser/Flanger user, Gutwillig has more recently been helping us road test the Multiwave Pro Distortion.  His favorite sounds are the multiband normal, the multiband octave, and the single band normal.  He has been using an expression pedal plugged into the Pro to “morph” from multiband distortion sounds to single band and back.  This allows him to stay with the same general distortion tone, but easily segue to "nasty" when necessary.

 

Keyboard player Aron Magner has also been working with us lately.  He has an Access Virus TI synth, and he has been using the Hot Hand MIDI/EXP controller to generate some incredible sounds.

 

Daniela and I travelled to Bridgeport, CT to meet with the band and see the show last night.  The Klein Auditorium was the venue, and it turned out to be special.  Built in 1940, the Klein’s style is Art Deco meets the Acropolis.  The list of famous people that have graced the Klein stage range from Leonard Bernstein to Martin Luther King.  The backstage area was a beautiful room with a huge marble fireplace.  Aron was treated to a huge grand piano as well as a celeste, which be actually brought on stage and miked for the show.  For those of you unfamiliar with this instrument, it is a keyboard which produces the chime-like tones in the Nutcracker’s Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (at least I think that is the title of that track…).  If that is not enough, Pepe’s (originally from New Haven and hugely famous for their brick oven “tomato pies” since 1925) has opened a location only 1 mile away.

 

The Biscuits are lots of fun to see, and the Klein a really special venue.  Both get the official Source Audio Hot Hand Salute!!
