BendingCorners is a monthly themed excursion into the music of jazz~n~groove. Each month we explore an hour or so of music based around a general theme. The recordings, or "podcasts", are a mixed set of groovy jazz and jazzy grooves.

All sets are recorded live in the studio with minimal post-production editing. The live mix is recorded raw WAV file using Audacity on an Mac. The WAV file is mixed down to MP3, the description, playlist, and artist info are documented, and then all files are uploaded to the BendingCorners website.

Each month, a theme is picked and relevant music is selected from our ever growing music library. Much time is spent and great care is taken to select music that appropriately fits the theme. It is the process of selecting the music where all the magic happens. :)

Here is a rough breakdown of the overall process we use to create a set.

• Choose a general theme.
• Look thru our entire library and pull out all possible recordings that might fit the theme. This can result in 100 or so possible songs.
• Listen to a few bars of all the possible songs and narrow down the list to around 30 good songs.
• Of the 30 good tunes, select the best 10 to 15.
• Arrange the best tunes in a fluid order of flow.
• Record the set live to hard drive.
• Process the recording into hi-bit and low-bit mp3s.
• Document the playlist, and write the set description.
• Upload all the material.
• Release.

If you have a suggestion for a theme, or any other comments or feedback, please post your comments.
