Stunning performance by Hilary Grist captured here at Creativ Recording Studios by Mike Southworth. Hillary co-wrote and preformed the song for soundtrack of David King’s “Every Other Tuesday”, in which she appears as well. Have a listen to one of my favorite voices:

New video from Pigeon Hole, directed by our friend Stuey Kubrick. This song was one of the most fun to make on the record – it’s a real trip. The build up at the end has literally dozens of layers of little percussion sounds building into a giant crescendo. This video features hidden treasure, space men, and…. bonfires.
Check out Pigeon Hole’s new album “Age Like Astronauts” on iTunes

Sara Brudner is an amazingly graceful singer/songwriter residing in Vancouver, Canada. I had the pleasure of working with her, engineering a 6 song EP which is set for release August 27th, 2010. The record has a very lush and organic vibe. Production was handled by Josh Parsons, who brought a very unique and effective sensibility to the boards.
For a taste of what you can expect, you can check out Sara this Tuesday, July 13th at the Biltmore. Sara’s live performance is a very true and well crafted representation of her studio efforts. For more info on the event, click HERE.
Two singles have been leaked so far, including her latest single “Two Tequila Shots & A Black Hole”

A hiphop track I recorded & mixed here at Creativ. Caspian kills it on both verses, and Noble brings his usual heavy yet smooth vibe to the chorus and his bridge. The instrumental is produced by Nikoh, and is based around a beautiful string loop… right up my alley.
It was a fun session recording this track. Noble was literally fresh off the plane from Australia, and arrived at the studio right from the airport. Hadn’t seen him in what was probably a couple years, so this was a great “first time back” type of occasion. Noble knew all his parts perfectly because a year or two prior, a rough demo of it had been cut back at the Ephin studios.
After a couple rye and cokes and some catching up, we were all ready to get cas in the booth. If i remember correctly, his verses went down in just one or two takes each, with full double layers thrown on for an extra thick sound – something that I almost always do with Caspian. He also recorded his parts of the chorus, with the holes left in in for Noble to slide in his vocals. (more…)

It was a busy spring for me. 3 great records coming out this summer from the Sweatshop Union camp. All three are coming out on URBNET, which is a perfect home for these albums. They are from separate crews Pigeon Hole, Dirty Circus and the Trillionaires. We are all very proud of the results.
Have a listen to the first leaks below!
You can read more about the artists and their releases on the Urbnet website, and as usual, leave your thoughts and comments below.

Let me start by saying that these audio clips are a must listen. It demonstrates 3D sound in a way I have never experienced before. Get your headphones ready.
Developed in the 1980s by Hugo Zuccarelli, Holophonic Sound uses the same “multiple exposure” premise as that used to create holographic images. The recorded sound produced is so realistic, some people claim they can smell sulphur when they listen to a holophonic recording of someone striking a match. It appears that Holophonic Sound waves stimulate our brains to reproduce very realistic and truly three dimensional sound within us, thereby stimulating other responses that our brains expect to accompany the sound. Even more interesting is the fact that researchers report that some hearing impaired people can “hear” Holophonic Sound – again because it stimulates their brains even though their audio receiver mechanisms are not working properly.
You should listen on headphones, and close your eyes for best effect.

Here is a beautiful ballad from StudioCloud30.com‘s own Catrina Centanni. I have been working with Catrina since she was a prodigious 13 years old. She’s 17 now, and developed into an amazing singer and performer.
The song illustrates Catrina in top form, backed by beautiful piano and a lush string arrangement. The song was engineered and produced by myself, and written by the talented Warren Dean.
Check it out below, and please feel free to leave feedback.
