The disease eventually forced Pete Langman to stop playing guitar, but when his former students resurrected and remixed recordings he made decades ago, it at least gave him a chance to find a new audience. Berklee Online instructor <a href=\"https:\/\/online.berklee.edu\/instructors\/bora-uslusoy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bora Uslusoy<\/a> spent the last six years bringing his mentor\u2019s music back to life. Uslusoy, the author of the <a href=\"https:\/\/online.berklee.edu\/courses\/writer-engineer-producer-in-the-home-studio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Writer, Engineer, Producer in the Home Studio<\/em><\/a> course, mixed Langman\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dancing-with-architects.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Dancing with Architects<\/em><\/a> and recently released it on his own label, <a href=\"https:\/\/bumarecordz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bUMA RecordZ<\/a>. The 10 guitar pieces were originally recorded in 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBack then, of course, we all had long hair, wore tight jeans and cowboy boots, and thought Bon Jovi was too soft,\u201d jokes Uslusoy, who also played some guitar on the album. He says more reverently, \u201cTo this day, I still practice some of the exercises from the handouts Pete gave us in class.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uslusoy first studied with Langman at the Musicians Institute, where he took his <em>Single String Techniques<\/em> course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another former student of Langman, Jamie Hunt, came up with the idea to refresh <em>Dancing with Architects<\/em> when he reached out to Langman in 2018 to ask him if he still had a copy of the tunes he recorded in his basement studio in 1995. Hunt, along with his colleague Pat Heath, wanted to cover one of the tunes in their workshops for ESP Guitar Company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though the songs were finished, Hunt and Heath came up with the idea of expanding them, adding drums, new bass tracks, and guitar solos. Langman says he remembers sending them the tunes and thinking he couldn\u2019t do much about them since his diagnosis in 2008. \u201cI found them hidden away in my garden shed. When we found the masters, Pat and Jamie said, \u2018Let\u2019s put some new drums on it &#8230; it\u2019s not like we don\u2019t know enough drummers!\u2019\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This project also helps fund Spotlight YOPD, a charity that raises awareness of and provides support and resources for those diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson\u2019s. Langman gave the project his blessing, but when he did, he had a few personnel ideas of his own. \u201cWhen we started asking who wanted to contribute, Bora was one of the first on board, and he offered to help with the mixing and production work,\u201d says Langman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Langman says he had a different working relationship with Uslusoy in the 1990s than he did with most of Uslusoy\u2019s classmates. \u201cBora was already pretty accomplished, dedicated, and talented,\u201d he says. \u201cAs a result, I probably rode him harder than the majority of students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially asked to collaborate on the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/7eyEjz3xng87WSzKkqsmAu?si=db0652a67cac437f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gladiators, Ready?<\/a>\u201d single in 2021, Uslusoy soon made it known that he wanted to mix the entire album\u2014and release it on <a href=\"https:\/\/bumarecordz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">his label<\/a>. As a mixing engineer, he mixed newly recorded tracks with tracks from 30 years ago, doing his best to preserve the authenticity of each song.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat could be better than editing and mixing banging drums, earth-shaking bass parts, and screaming guitar solos with odd time signatures and jaw-breaking syncopations that smell like the \u201980s and \u201990s?\u201d says Uslusoy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project required transferring the original 12-track tape reels to digital so new instruments could be added. Uslusoy also used Pro Tools\u2019 Beat Detective to account for minor quirks that tapes tend to take on after 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/online.berklee.edu\/takenote\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/dancing_with_architects-_article_image_2026_2.jpg\" alt=\"Guitarist Pete Langman is pictured in a photograph from the 1990s, sitting cross-legged on a floor, wearing bluejeans, white socks, a green sweater, and a necklace with a crystal on it.\" class=\"wp-image-27957\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pete Langman in the studio back in 1995. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cExtra fun was involved in tempo-mapping some of the songs, which had minor tempo fluctuations caused by tape degradation over the years,\u201d says Uslusoy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this project, Langman served as an advisor, touching base with musicians and setting basic parameters. The rest was up to them! \u201cWe wanted contributions, not session players,\u201d he says. \u201cIf I was surprised, it was at just how amazing it sounded when done. A real vindication of the whole idea!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Langman listened to the whole album when it came out on July 31 in a local pub in Oxfordshire, England. \u201cAs they played the final track, the whole pub went quiet. No word of a lie, but there was a tear, maybe two,\u201d says Langman.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Uslusoy, working on <em>Dancing with Architects<\/em> was a chance to help a former instructor who had helped him. In preserving Langman\u2019s music, he also brought together musicians from around the world: 12 guitarists, four bassists, five drummers, a blues harp player, and a sitar player across the album\u2019s 10 songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFast-forward six years, quite a few emails, and tons of WeTransfer and Google Drive transactions, and here we are: we\u2019ve finished the whole album,\u201d says Uslusoy. \u201cI loved working on this special record, and it is one of the greatest achievements of my engineering and production career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uslusoy says he takes this learning experience into the classroom, where he not only teaches students about music production, but also the importance of professionalism, multitasking, technical skills, and human skills in the music workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Langman says that this project brought him a sense of gratification. Although he could no longer actively contribute as a player, he found joy in listening to other musicians bring new life to the sounds he recorded decades ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn some ways it has allowed me to mourn (if that doesn\u2019t sound too morbid), a version of myself with whom I had unfinished business,\u201d says Langman. \u201cUltimately, however, it lives or dies on its quality. Listen once because of the story: Listen again because you like what you hear.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guitarist Pete Langman recorded 10 songs in 1995, never imagining they\u2019d find new life three decades later, after Parkinson\u2019s disease forced him to stop playing.
