what's happening - August 10, 2010
I've recently completed 2 new audio books for the Smithsonian Institute's Alphabet Books series. Both "Alphabet of Earth" and "Alphabet of Dance" are available at Amazon.com.
Recording/arranging/mixing licensing catalogs for singer songwriters James Woodward (27 songs) and Craig Pro (24 songs).
Working on new songs for singer songwriter Victoria Fuller's sophomore effort.
Working on new arrangements and recording lots of guitars for Steph Rodgers upcoming release "Daisy Pedal".
Just a stones throw from finishing the final mix's for Shiny, which is a collaborative art rock band consisting of myself, Scott Bennett (Brian Wilson), Matt Walker (Morrissey, Smashing Pumpkins, Most Dangerous Race, IRM), Brett Simons (Brian Wilson, Fiona Apple, Liz Phair) and Jim Dinou (Most Dangerous Race, IRM), all fantastic musicians, producers and composers themselves, in addition to being my very dear friends. I’m blessed to be able to work with some of the greatest musicians in the world…it’s like every day is Christmas...even though I’m Jewish!
I'm finishing up an EP of my own guitar instrumentals with a little help from Jim Dinou (synth/noise) and Robby Fulks drummer Gerald Dowd. This collection of songs are intentionally being recorded and mixed in "non studio" settings without the use of any of my high end recording gear...bedrooms, 4 tracks and laptops all the way!
