Wed, 10 Sep 2008 21:43:50 -0400

(see Thunderbird groove takes shape and Thunderbird groove progresses ) After some editing, I added some electric and 12 string guitars, keyboards and some percussion.

Boogieman: The Lee Atwater Story

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:56:55 -0400

I’ve finished mixing “Boogieman: The Lee Atwater Story” for Stefan Forbes of Interpositive Media. The film was finished in time for both the Democratic National Convention and Republican Nation Convention, as part of the Impact Film Festival. Stefan did a great job of presenting interviews and archival footage in a way that provides a great insight into the modern political arena.

Brave Combo at Avatar Studios

Tue, 5 Aug 2008 00:44:44 -0400

I was in the studio with Murray Weinstock and Brave Combo Monday. We cut basic tracks for “Bow Wow Polka” for an upcoming sequel to the “Tails Of The City” project. In the studio were Carl Finch on piano, guitar, accordion and vocals. Also, Jeffrey Barnes on saxophone, Danny O’Brien on trumpet, Arjuna Contreres on drums and Ann Marie Harrop on bass. The pictures are before we got set up. The band was slamming and totally pro. Since I’ve been at Soundtrack for nearly 17 years, it’s nice to get out once in a while!
Avatar Studios
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Avatar Studios, formerly known as the The Power Station, is a recording studio at 441 West 53rd Street in Manhattan, New York City.
The building was originally a Con Edison power plant; but after a period of vacancy, it was used as a sound stage for the television game show Let's Make a Deal. In 1977, it was rebuilt as a recording studio by producer Tony Bongiovi and gained renown as one of the finest acoustic environments for recording in the world. It has won several studio industry awards over the years, including a "Les Paul Award for Special Lifetime Achievement" in 1991.
The complex was renamed Avatar Studios (under the Avatar Entertainment Corporation) in May 1996.
Major acts who have recorded there include Aerosmith, Marc Anthony, B-52's, Tony Bennett, Jon Bon Jovi (who actually worked there in his youth), Devo, Duran Duran, Dream Theater, Bruce Springsteen, John Lennon, Bernadette Peters, Neil Young, Harry Connick, Jr., Iggy Pop, Journey, George Michael, Betty Carter, Sum 41, John Mayer, Moby, Vanessa Williams, Blondie, Porcupine Tree, Chic, Joan Jett, David Bowie, The Last Shadow Puppets, and the band Power Station, which was named after the studio itself.

Emmy nomination

Fri, 30 May 2008 09:20:05 -0400

The “Widening Divide” PSA that I mixed featuring The Edge, Charlize Theron, Mike Myers, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard was nominated for an Emmy. The public service announcement was created and produced by my friend Stefan Forbes of Interpositive Media.
The trick on this one was that, unfortunately for Stefan, it had been raining on the tent in which he was shooting. So we had to remove the rain as best we could from the production dialog. Visit the Interpositive website or see the YouTube version here. More information can be found at the website for The Food Bank for New York City.
