Transistor Six - Music Analog Style

Let me start by saying, since college, I've been a long time fan of The Sea and Cake. Also a big fan of Tortoise, which was recorded, edited and mixed by John McEntire of Sea and Cake. One evening, our sound maven Chris Payeur said she's worked with them in a past life and that they might be into doing a Transistor Six feature, that was all I needed to begin bugging Chris every time I saw her.

Then one day Chris puts me in touch with John via email in Mach of 2012 and we try and set it up, John says they won't be in Austin until November and to hit him back as we get closer to the gig. Fast forward 6 months and I email again and we are locked in. It's now been the better part of a year and we finally get to put this out!

We shot the film for the song "Pacific" at one of our favorite clubs in town called The Mohawk. The show was in support of their new album "Runner". Never getting to see them live, this was a pretty great night. The outdoor club filled up pretty fast and soon the band took stage and got into their 17 song set including some favs like "Weekend", "Window Sills", "Harps", "On and On", "A Mere" and many others.

Their latest album Runner. can be found at your local record store, but just incase you don't have a local record store you can get yours here: http://bit.ly/12nSqQb

Got to try something different on this photo session. This was our first shoot using a Lomography Splitzer which we attached on our Lomography LC-A+ . This allows you to take a picture with one half of the lens and then another picture on the other side of the lens creating two different images on one frame of film. We then shoot the band without the Splitzer on top of both sides creating a triple exposure. The first half of the Splitzer roll we shot under water at a place called Barton Springs, the other half were pictures around town of different textures. These triple exposures took a lot of planning but in the end were very rewarding. We also brought a green cold cathode light that we hand made for this shoot. You can see it in the photo where there is a stream of light behind the band.
If you have questions about shots you can direct them to questions@transistorsix.com. We will feature some of them on our Facebook pages with answers. Please be specific about the photo in question and we will try to get back to you.
