Audio Production

Up and Running

October 21, 2008 October 21, 2008 This fall has been shaping up to be particularly busy and exciting! In July, I finished construction on a second recording facility located in the new JamSpot Inc. in Wakefield, MA, just off Rte. 128. With 20-foot ceilings and over 1,600 square feet, the facility has been perfect for clients looking to record live music videos for promotion. Left to right: Mike Gordon (bass player, Phish), Bill Kreutzmann (drummer, Grateful Dead), Gabe Herman Back at my Somerville location, I have been busy producing two records for two very unique and interesting artists: Zili Misik bridges cultures, generations and continents. With captivating sounds that evoke the African continent, Zili retraces routes of forced exile and cultural resistance through diasporic rhythm and song. Powerful Haitian, Brazilian and West African rhythms infuse Zili's original creations and traditional folksongs, while inspiring its audiences to dance and even teaches how. Reconnecting Haitian mizik rasin, jazz, roots reggae, samba, Cuban son and neo soul, Zili honors its influences while creating a sound that is unique. At present, I am working with them to release their second full length album due out sometime before the end of the year. The second artist, "Zangi" is an up and coming talent from Port Au Prince, Haiti. Bridging a wide variety of cultural music together from all corners of the globe, Zangi brings fire, energy and soul to their live and studio performances. Be on the lookout for this amazing group! On the education side, students at CDIA and other audio programs from all over the New England gathered for a day of incredible learning and fun at the 2008 Boston Area Definitive Audio Student Summit. There were over one hundred audio students who attended lectures, workshops, demos, giveaways and panel discussions from the area's best teachers and industry professionals. The 2009 summit has already been scheduled for next September.
