Badass

There were a lot of great things that happened this week…

but nothing was as cool as working with Jerry Barnes (Nile Rodgers/Chic). I was humbled by his baddness…

It may be a long time before I pick up the bass guitar again.

Enjoy the weekend!

Happy Friday the 13th all!

Back in 1980 a young Kevin Bacon was getting his film start in the horror film centered around this day. For most of my youth I had nightmares about this film yet it’s many sequels yet never stopped getting excited when a new one came out. It was one of the better sound design moments of the day (ch, ch ,ch, ha, ha, ha). C’mon, you know it! Thanks for the sound and score Harry Manfredini…
And now that a few of my friends and colleagues play with Mr. Bacon and his brother in their band, I managed to hook my wife and rabid Bacon fan up with a meet and greet thus gaining me massive points AND proving the six degree phenomenon:-)

It was a great week working with some amazing talent! Melissa Otero, Odiseas Georgiadis, Cassidy Ladden, Haley Warner and more…

It was also the AMP awards which I attended and got a chance to catch up with so many old friends and fellow musicians and producers! We all had a great time right down to the James Hotel “afterparty”:-) It was great hanging with Georg Bissen and old friend and colleague Angelina Powers. Caught up with and had funny flashbacks with Randy Lee from Limebeat and met the really sweet folks at Headroom in NYC and Comma in Chicago…

Enjoy the weekend yo!

Cinco De Mayo!

Happy May Folks!

Been a couple weeks since last check in… Been busy in the city making lots of great new music:-)

Working on 2 new tracks with the amazing talented and genuinely funny Brooke Moriber. The first of these tracks we’re collaborating with one of my favorite people in the business and a wonderful writer Alex Forbes. The three of us had a great time digging in and set the first track strongly in motion.

Got to listen to, produce and record the vocal excellence of Erin Bowman on a brand new cut this week. Always love working with her!

Finalized new ad music for Kroger stores which should hit the air in the coming weeks:-)

More work was done on the latest theater project with some amazingly talented folks. More to come as this develops and can be broadcast.

Team Odiseas is in full swing finishing up the latest track. We’re all really excited about the how it’s all coming together. We even found some crazy (and wildly untrue) gossip on the internet between O and Katie Holmes… The rumors start early kids…

Melissa Otero and I finally broke ground on her new set of singles to follow up her epic Angels and Demons record! It’s going to be beautiful and we’re both excited to be moving forward on the first single this month.

Had the pleasure of finishing up a mix with the great Jenny Bruce and Noel Cohen. Love both of them and the music they create! Congrats to Noel’s son and upcoming superstar actor Emory Cohen on his engagement!

Met up with old friend and Zen Music colleague Georg Bissen this week to catch up and talk shop. Georg is an incredible talent. One of the best electronic music producers, DJs and composers out there. Check out his bad ass podcast Bissen:TranceAtlantic!

Enjoy the weekend!
