Gabriel Mervine
Remastered with Two Previously Unreleased Tracks
Say Somethin’ by Gabriel Mervine has been one of the most popular albums on Octave Records to date. The limited edition SACD sold out quickly and the vinyl was in such high demand a second run was pressed. Say Somethin’ has been remixed by Paul McGowan on Octave’s new Pyramix workstation and sounds better than ever. This new edition includes two previously unreleased tracks from the original recording sessions. If you missed out on the first release, this is your chance to complete your collection. If you are one of the lucky ones that secured a copy of the first version, you’ll want to compare and contrast the newly mixed and mastered realism of the trumpet, clarity of the drums and piano, and presence of the bass. Say Somethin’ Remastered is available on SACD and digital download.

Recording
Say Somethin’ was recorded at Animal Lane in Lyons, CO in December of 2020 on one of the world’s few 32 track Sonoma recording studio by Steven Vidaic. It was originally released in 2021. Gabriel’s trumpet was recorded using a combination of a Neumann M49 Cardiod and a Royer 122 Ribbon microphone into a Grace preamp. For the piano, a pair of DPA 4009 Omni stereo pair amplified with a Grace preamplifier were used along with a vintage RCA 44BX ribbon, amplified through a Forsell microphone preamplifier.

A Neumann U47 and a Royer 122 Ribbon were used on the bass as well as Forsell preamplifiers. The drums were recorded using a Soundelux iFET 7 connected to a Grace preamplifier, a Sennheiser 421also connected through a Grace preamplifier, and a rare Tim de Paravacini stereo AKG C24 vacuum tube microphone into a Forsell preamplifier. To mic the room, a pair of Rode stereo omnis through a Forsell preamplifier were used. Captured on the Sonoma recording system and mixed on the Pyramix at Octave Studios.
