Info zu Decades (2026 Remaster)

Decades is a double album with music that spans over 40 years of David Mash’s career, all recorded in 2009-2010 and released in 2011.

The Decades project started when Greg Badolato asked me to come on a Berklee Audition and Interview trip to the Middle East, to do auditions, clinics, and concerts in Israel, the West Bank, and Jordan. Then he asked me to join in for a similar trip to Kobe and Tokyo, Japan. I thought it would be fun to take a few of my older compositions and realize them afresh with new technology, and arrange them for a trio performance: Greg on Tenor sax, me on guitar and synthesizers, and a MacBook Pro for interactive backing tracks. The concerts were unexpectedly well-received, so we decided to record. The next thing I knew it had turned into an 18 month-long project culminating in the two disc set entitled “Decades.”

Decades features Greg Badolato on tenor sax, and David Mash performing all other instrumental parts. David plays guitar and keyboards, and used Logic Studio and a variety of software instruments running on a Macintosh computer to produce this recording. David plays Godin guitars.

Decades features Greg Badolato on tenor sax, and David Mash performing all other instrumental parts. David plays guitar and keyboards, and used Logic Studio and a variety of software instruments running on a Macintosh computer to produce this recording. David plays Godin guitars, used a Roland VG-99 with FC-300 and an Apogee GiO to connect his guitars to the computer for audio and MIDI data. David’s Mac used a PreSonus FireStudio 2626 with MRC as an audio interface. In addition to the Logic instruments, David also uses the Korg Legacy Collections, Sonoma Wireworks’ DrumCore, Spectrasonics Omnisphere and Trillian, Synthogy Ivory II, and Arturia’s MiniMoog software. David also uses Line 6 PodFarm 2 for processing his guitar sounds. For mixing, we used the Euphonix Artist Series control surfaces.

David recorded all the software instrument tracks at Mashine Studios. Peter Bell engineered and produced the guitar and saxophone recording sessions at Bell Music, and David & Peter did the final mixes back at Mashine Studios. This recording has been re-mastered by Bora Uslusoy of bUMA RecordZ.
