From The Desk Of The Album Leaf: File Sharing

In the time that’s elapsed since its last proper album, 2010’s A Chorus Of Storytellers, Jimmy LaValle’s the Album Leaf has popped up with a soundtrack release and a collab with Sun Kil Moon, but the entity’s (the new Between Waves is the first A. Leaf LP to be made as a band effort) exploration of all things ambient, electronic and organically understated when it comes to both instrumental endeavors and the application of the aforementioned to a very contemporary-sounding indie-pop is what prevails on Between Waves. The Album Leaf will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our review of Between Waves.

FileSharing

Matt Resovich: I love talking about gear musical and otherwise, but one element that has become invaluable to the creative process is file sharing. Most of the projects I’ve done in recent years all relied on this ability to send work back and forth among participants. It’s become a normal part of the workflow I almost forget about but it’s hard to overstate its importance. I’ve used Dropbox and WeTransfer more times than I can remember.
