What do you do?
As a producer, I help the artist or songwriter decide the best way to record a performance of a song in a way that fits their vision of what the song should be. This help ranges from helping to choose what songs to perform or what style to do a particular song in, to hiring the best musicians and studio for the particular job. I book studio time, players, and engineers (if not myself), rehearse the band if needed, and guide the vocalists and instrumentalists through their performances to make professional recordings.
I’ve been working on some very cool projects lately. Here’s a sample.
I broke out the Blue Sky 5.1 monitor system to mix a couple of songs for the upcoming Universal Pictures film, “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything”. I was also music editor for the film score, composed by Kurt Heinecke.
Chris McDonald composed another album of instrumental music. We recorded the tracks here at My Space, overdubbed the Orchestra at Sound Emporium studio and came back here for mix.
Drummer/ Producer Bob Mater brought a project for me to mix for Mastron Music Group.
And currently I am recording tracks for iTheatrics (New York) production of “The Phantom Tollbooth”. A musical adaptation of Norton Juster’s classic book with lyrics by Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof), and score by Arnold Black. Harnick and iTheatrics’ David Weinstein are in from New York to supervise the sessions at My Space Recording.
