From deep tribal drums sounds, to soaring strings and vocals, and all the electrifying layers in between, musician and producer Dave Menzo’s psychedelic pop takes you on a sonic journey. His latest album, “Shhh…” was made entirely with instruments he checked out from the Ann Arbor District Library, as part of their Music Tools Collection. This includes drum machines, analog synthesizers, guitar pedals, vocal processors, microphones, percussion, and various other instruments. The album was mentioned by the New York Times in a feature about libraries becoming creative hubs for individuals.
Menzo is occasionally accompanied by a band, and also produces other artists recordings in his studio.
