Chris Schlarb: BIG EGO and Beyond
I met Chris Schlarb years ago in the Long Beach, California music scene, and we became reacquainted recently when I took on engineer and assistant roles for several of his productions in 2016, my favorite experience being Psychic Temple Plays Music for Airports. Recently Chris opened BIG EGO studios in Long Beach. Spanning genres from gospel, to bluegrass, to garage, what remains constant is a commitment to song, performance, and musicianship. Schlarb and BIG EGO's philosophy harkens back to a day when records were finished in weeks, and a label's sound relied heavily on a single studio and its session band. The medium has changed from tape to RADAR, but the vibe remains.
