Long Gone Blond is the new lo-fi project from Maggie Maki. She is a songwriter and actress living in LA. For Long Gone Blond she likes to take her lo-fi analog cassette recordings and use them as a backbone for digital work with samples and beats. Her songs range from mashups of demos with friend musicians guesting, to her combining 4-track writing tapes with digital sounds. She loves quirky touches, like the outro vocal on Where? (cellphone mix) being recorded on her cellphone. Hopefully she captures something personal and unexpected, leaving the accidental touches which remind you that you’re listening to a real person. There are flaws and imperfections, but there is also beauty.
Her initial release as LGB was Where? (lo-fi movie mix) (March 2011, avail on iTunes), and she has released subsequent singles for the past year. Her EP called Quiet Revolution was released on May 2, 2012.
