Odes to Old Friends and Special Guests
Some recording sessions are unforgettable. This picture below is a snapshot of a moment in the making with Angie Paulsen. It was astonishing to hear the voice that came out of such an angelic, fine young woman. But there are no accidents. Her specialty–Christian music. Pop with a touch of gospel and enough punch to bring tears to Tyson eye’s. Whatever grace it is that makes someone a star, Angie has it.
And then there was the George Groesbech Trio. Pure genius with a touch of Art Carney. It’s hard to get a better–or funnier–session with anyone. The music–from jazz to jumpin’ to sweet, old standards– was always perfect. As was George. A better musician can’t be found.
This session was done with Judith Acosta for a hypnotic CD with original music we created especially for the project, entitled The Inevitability of Healing. She said she’d seen engineers fall asleep at their consoles during hypnotic sessions before. We managed to stay awake, but we haven’t been sick since.
Recording Studio in the Works!
Weeks and weeks of dust and noise in the sound studio are finally behind us but not forgotten.
That picture is of the new isolation booth to the left of the recording studio’s control room.
The one below is of the sound-proofing for one of the recording studio’s walls.
Building a studio from ground up is one thing, but building it from roof down is another. It was a ton of work!
By late August, we had our first session, with more recording sessions and music lessons already scheduled!
