Slagle, Steve
Nascientia
Steve Slagle is certainly an artist up for meeting a challenge, especially one of this nature, but the Fall of 2020 fell way short of our collective expectations, and things were not better, with the world-wide virus shutting-down live music everywhere. "But a potent will finds a way, and we reserved one of the great studios still open in pandemic-era NYC, Sear Sound, Studio A on 48th street. And, I was able to secure the exact musicians I felt were needed for the recording of Nascentia," says Slagle. As would be expected, the musicians rose to the occasion, hungry to play. Slagle explains, "I am especially glad that many of these were first takes. My song, 'All Up In It', which was built for energy, was recorded as the first song, the first take, that morning at 10:30AM (early for us!). Everyone really reached deep and created some incredible group feeling & spirit! And the solo statements across the album, wow!"
