Staying Analog in a Digital World
There’s more feeling in music recorded to tape on analog equipment.
There’s more dimension to the sound.
“The songs on Dream Analog came through by transmission.
Fleeting bits of musings and understandings woven into song.”

The film was compiled from footage shot on the fly — recording, mixing, mastering and manufacturing the record as well as printing the jackets and sleeves. Songs from the album are sprinkled throughout the film as you are taken step by step through the process.
The songs on Dream Analog were recorded to tape on a Tascam 16-Track tape machine by Brian D. Hardin. The record was mixed by Brian D. Hardin on a SSL 4052 G+ console at Laughing Tiger Studios in Northern California and it was mastered for vinyl by legendary mastering engineer Bernie Grundman.
[Before digital recording techniques were available, music was recorded to tape (analog).
Teri believes analog recording is a big part of the future of music as more people become attuned to it’s innate ability to convey more feeling.]

“Once musicians know the power their music has when recorded to tape, more and more will aim to record that way. I made this film in the hope it will inspire more musicians to put out records recorded to tape (analog) and to aid in promoting the preservation of analog recording techniques and the machines that make it happen. Long Live Analog!” — Teri Hitt |Grace Gravity
