Born in the Studio…

The Analog Players Society is a collective effort spearheaded by Amon, founded originally in his Red Hook-based studio, The Hook, to now, The Bridge Studio in Williamsburg. The group features a large ensemble cast of musicians hanging around the studio, the likes of which read like a who’s who list of the wide-open Brooklyn music scene as it stands today. Players from such heavyweights as TV On The Radio, David Bowie, Tortured Soul, Escort, Beirut, The Bad Plus and more make up the core of the project, which is eclectic by nature but carries serious strains of the Dub, Funk, Afrobeat, Jazz, and Soul variety within it. The Analog Players Society vibe is about making people dance even if the power goes out – getting rugged and raw with drums, stand-up bass, piano, and horns…or at least doing it all without a laptop on the stage.
