NAUX (nah-ooj) a.k.a. Juan Maciel
NAUX, or "Brother Naux" as I affectionately referred to
him (pronouncing his name as "NAWKS") is a truly soulful guitar player
with a unique voice not too far-afield from David Byrne's. The tracks
below were recorded between 1981 and 1983 at Noise New York, pre Kramer,
when it was located on 34th Street above La Polpetta (the Meatball) and
owned by Frank and Dwight Eaton.
To the best of my recollection (chemicals involved) I
came in mid-project, recorded some tracks from scratch, overdubbed a good
deal of the vocals on all tracks, did some string / synth arrangements
as well as the distant BKG vox on "Life On Earth." Frank Eaton played
keys, Kevin Fullen played bass and I'll figure out who played drums...
While these tracks came from two different Normal Bias TDK
cassettes, two-track tapes exist and will be restored at a future date.
Equipment used for recording included a SoundWorkshop console, Tascam 85-16
multitrack, Otari 5050 two-track and a spring reverb. Vocals were
typically recorded with an AKG-414 in omni processed with a Valley People
Dynamite (at least once). The mix was processed with a pair of US
made dbx 160x compressors. Monitors were Auratones with passive subwofer.
