Finishing touches going Simon’s Dream... pretty good stuff, big effort going into this project and allot of love, it shows...

Denver based The Flash Mob, first thing I said after working on this was “I wish it was an LP”, I wanted more. Really great stuff!

Seattle’s rock scene is nothing short of a machine. Haunting the Disconnect is a product of that machine and really gave the studio speakers a work out!]]>Gino Vannelli - Atlantic Citynickmoon@toneproper.comBlog2011-08-02T13:30:38-07:00http://www.toneproper.com/Blog/files/af207289b6ba60ec5b1f72963b5346a4-22.html#unique-entry-id-22http://www.toneproper.com/Blog/files/af207289b6ba60ec5b1f72963b5346a4-22.html#unique-entry-id-22Gino Vannelli.
That show was a good example of always bring a back up! The sequencer got smashed up in transist.
Ran the show from a Laptop and a MOTU Ultra-Lite. Bam! :)

Months of labor went into this puppy. All local Douglas Fir wood. This is a quadratic residue diffusor.... I know it looks random but its not. Sorry for the lame to very lame iPhone shot. It measures 6 foot by about 3 foot. It’s kind of fun to sit under it, makes you feel like some sort of art deco king.
quadratic residue diffusor

This coming week I’ll be at Crossroads in Vancouver recording some really nice compositions by Portland Composer Cynthia Gerdes. Any excuse to work with renowned players and a nine foot Steinway is OK with me.

Also working with AZULYAEL this week, great Portland artist from Sudden Anthem (one of my favorite records of the year). Looking forward to seeing what these guys are pulling out their hats.

Lastly, doing transfers for pop legend Gino Vannelli, I’m transferring “Yonder Tree” from half inch tape... only problem....the tape is completely melting off the tape machine.... time to bake the tapes! More on this interesting session soon!

Few more projects in the works, more on these soon....
