The (Not) Obsolete Musician

video upload by Joseph McGinty

"Paula Barouh and Joe McGinty spent a Sunday morning at This Museum Is (Not) Obsolete in Ramsgate, UK, creating spontaneous compositions, utilizing Paula's amazing voice and an eclectic assortment of instruments in the museum's collection. These pieces will be edited down for a future release. The museum is open to the public on weekends, but you can also book private recording sessions. Special thanks to Sam and Johnny for tech assistance.

Barouh-McGinty


Playlist:

1. Barouh-McGinty: "Dry Love"

Barouh-McGinty is the international collaboration between Chilean singer Paula Barouh and NYC keyboardist Joe McGinty. "Dry Love" is their first release. The song was improvised at McGinty's vintage keyboard studio, Carousel Recording, in Brooklyn, NY, with further editing and overdubbing by McGinty. Video editing and effects by Gal @gelischile.
The loop is a combination of the "Glitchedelica" disc on the Panoptigon and the Sequential Tempest drum machine. Bass is the Moog Subsequent 37. Other instruments: Wurlitzer Electric Piano, Casio MT-400V, Mellotron M4000D, Therevox.
The duo met at McGinty's piano bar, Sid Gold's Request Room. Impressed by Barouh's singing and improvisational skills, McGinty invited her to his studio to create an extemporaneous composition. Though the percussion loop was prepared in advance, neither knew what the other was going to do until recording started. This song is the result of their second improvisation. The first, 'NYC Junkie' will be released soon.

2. Barouh–McGinty: NYC Junkie

The second release from Barouh–McGinty:NYC Junkie. Vocals: Paula Barouh
Keyboards, Production: Joe McGinty
Video edited by Paula Barouh and Dave Fasano.
Like their first release, NYC Junkie was improvised in Joe McGinty's studio in Brooklyn. Unlike their first release, there are no overdubs or edits. What you hear and see is what was created in the moment. Paula had no idea what the music would sound like, and McGinty had no idea where Paula would go vocally.
Instruments used: Quilter Labs Panoptigan 'Mod Rock' disc, Dave Smith/Oberheim OB-6, Moog Subsequent 37. Looper: Audio Damage Enso.
