RAJA by Raja

It was the blizzard of 96 and NYC-based trio RAJA laid plans to create a collection of adventurous new music, primed for live performance.

RAJA rules were simple:
- start from scratch and create a live set of new instrumental music
- record the live set in-place as would be done in performance

After several months of writing and rehearsing, the recording went down in a one-day session; all performances were recorded live, no ProTools, no click tracks, no grid, no autotune, no timestretching/ tempo adjustments. Simply twelve tracks of ADAT which were later mixed through an analog console with minimal outboard, and printed to DAT.

Fastforward to 2014: original mixes transferred and remastered for this release. RAJA is available here and now!
