Get in the groove... and shake it, baby!

Shake It by jasonmashak

Well the river was low / and the river was dry / Then the river was high / we were all gonna die / Swim for your life / Swim for the shore / We're gonna get outta here alive

First (and probably only) foray into hip hop.

New Era (Dark Star Flailing) by jasonmashak

Sound exploration.

A concept explored via guitars, amps, keyboards, percussion, and vocals.

Live improv jam with Bill "Detroit" Bell, Jr. (vocals), Jarda Krejcik (electric bass), Vojtek Muller (acoustic guitar), Jason Mashak (electric guitar) – recorded Sunday, 22 September 2019, in Slany, Czech Republic

Made via Telecaster through Vox amp with a Ditto looper pedal, recorded via iPhone, then mixed with Audacity open-source software.

An adaptation of Warren Zevon's classic song "Carmelita," with a bit of Central/Eastern Europe thrown into the story. Equipment: • Harley Benton Telecaster • VOX VT50 amplifier • tc electronic DITTO looper pedal • Axman microphone (from LiDL) • Huwaei/Android smartphone • Audacity software

An improvised song that I recorded at home on 17 March 2019 and mixed the next day. Equipment: • Harley Benton Telecaster • VOX VT50 amplifier • tc electronic DITTO looper pedal • CASIO keyboard • Axman microphone (from LiDL) • Huwaei/Android smartphone • Audacity software

A song I wrote circa 2001 and finally recorded in 2019. Medium: Telecaster, looper pedal, keyboard, Vox amp (also used for mixing), recorded via smartphone and tweaked a bit with Audacity software.

Something I wrote the night of 23 December 2016 and recorded in the basement (quietly, because the kids were asleep upstairs) on my iPhone 6. The guitar is an Alvarez acoustic-electric I bought in Prague from americana/blues giant Brad Huff before he left us for that great gig in the sky.

In 1999, Jason Mashak and Jim Maddox, who had played together in various bands (The Steppers, Deacon Jones, the Sunday Drivers) in north Georgia in the mid-1990s, went into Type Foundry Studio in Portland, Oregon, with new material they'd written in Jim's small cottage during the preceding weeks. These are outtakes of Jason's songs from those sessions. While 3 of the songs made it onto the album, "I Loved Her For a While" has never been shared before. Please pardon the drunken vocals.
