Easy Tiger by Mark Peric
It's taken me 4 years of continuous work to get this album out into the world. The recording process for this album epitomises the modern process as I recorded in about as many locations as one could imagine. Drums from all around Australia, multiple studios, many visits to my friends houses with my laptop and mic in hand and many a late night in my home studio recording, editing and mixing.
Some how I've managed to unify this collection of sounds with the help of many friends and collaborators. To say that my network of friends are a generous bunch is a huge understatement. The time, energy and sacrifice are truly appreciated and not lost on me at all. I hope you hear that heart and soul when you listen to these tunes.
I'd like to mention the following people for their contribution to the project and without them, it simply wouldn't exist: Dave Cox for his plethora of saxophones and unbelievable improvising (and also his fishing rods), Jeff Reid for his contribution on the Alto Sax, Darran Muller for his drumming and friendship on at least half of these songs, Mark Henman for his impeccable pocket on drums for no less than three songs, Darryn Farrugia for his playing on Ka Ki Ku Ke, Mark Charters for playing on Mary Street, Evan Osborne for all the brass including but not limited to Trumpet, Cornet, Flugel Horn, Tenor Horn; Dyon Tahana for his Alto Sax and pure vibe, "Young" Ash Hutton for lending his Tenor horn to a few tunes, Dan Wolsner my long time friend and collaborator on Keys, Dan Khoury for his huge contribution on keys and synths, Emily Smith for her pristine Flute, Ross Comerford for years of friendship and your Piano, Hammond, Wurli and string parts on Third Ave, Ben Byrne for his Tenor Sax on Gumfunk, and a huge thanks to Angus Woodhead who has guided me on my journey into recording and mixing for over two decades. I simply wouldn't have the quality of album I do without your continued input and your patience with all my questions.
Never hesitate to reach out if the music impacts you in any way, I'd love to hear it. Enjoy the music! MarkPeric.com
