I recorded this version of "Utopia Parkway" for a special tribute to the late Adam Schlesinger organized by his Fountains Of Wayne bandmate, Jody Porter. Adam was a dear friend and a partner in my piano bar in NYC, Sid Gold's Request Room. He passed away due to complications from COVID-19 on April 1, 2020 and the world lost an incredible talent. Please check out Fountains Of Wayne, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, "That Thing You Do" and his many other musical accomplishments.
I played this live into ProTools with no overdubs, with some effects added during mixdown.

Equipment:
Yamaha CP-25 electric piano with Stromer Mutronics Super Fuzz and the Moog Analog Delay.
Sequential Pro 3
Roland CR-5000 CompuRhythm
Liven 8 Bit Warps
Korg MS-20 controlled by the Korg SQ-1 sequencer
Note: I got the CompuRhythm synced up to the 8 Bit and the SQ-1 by feeding the trigger out of the CR-5000 into the sync input of the 8 Bit Warps (line in) and taking the MIDI out of the 8 Bit into the SQ-1.
