CASUAL BUSINESS is an in-studio performance series happening at Serious Business Music in Manhattan. Each installment will contain two unique live performances captured on 2-inch tape and will appear as a free downloadable digital 7-inch, along with photos, videos, and 1,000 perfect words on The Ampeater Review. This series will represent a beautiful collision of the live-in-studio radio broadcast (Peel Sessions, BBC), old-school shotgun studio-hit-making (Motown, Stax), and instant digital dissemination.
The information age has introduced an unthinkable expansion of musical technologies, styles, choices, as well as distractions, hoaxes, and false promises. CASUAL BUSINESS will inject some musical truth serum through the veins of the zeitgeist. Our mission is to provide unique artists with a platform to celebrate their uniqueness in real time, live in a great recording studio, and then to share the results with the universe. Performances will be live and spontaneous. We encourage artists to use this platform to debut new material, unheard nuggets, alternate arrangements, covers, freakout jam free-for-alls, to wildly experiment or to simply and powerfully deliver their hits. This is the artists’ time.
