Session Spotlight: Seth Farber

Greetings! This past week we received a visit from Seth Farber, an accomplished pianist and composer who has worked with some top musical acts. Farber, who runs Red Wall Records with his wife Liz Queler, traveled from his native New York to record on our in-house keys. That's a long way to travel for a piano! We are flattered that he made the trip to record with us again. The skillful playing that filled our ears during the session was an added bonus.

Over the past 15 years, Seth has recorded and performed with Billy Joel, Cliff Eberhardt, Joan Osborne, Phoebe Snow, John Prine, Lucinda Williams, Chip Taylor, Curtis Stigers, Chuck Jackson, Popa Chubby, Alejandro Escovedo, Little Steven, Liz Queler and many others. He has also been a part of various Broadway shows, and he scored songs that have appeared on TV networks including HBO, The Disney Channel, VH1, MTV, Comedy Central, and the Travel Channel.

While we've had a slower past couple of weeks - amidst the season of vacation time - next week we're diving (ears first!) into a bunch of new and exciting jobs. Up next as we close out July: Three bank radio spots, a defense contractor production package that includes voiceover and scoring, and two new Lego videos to score, voice, and provide sound design for. Whew! August will be here before we know it ... as always, stay tuned!

East Granby's Gospel Guys Croon For A Cause

Recently, engineer Tony Thomas recorded a full-length CD for The Gospel Guys, a local a cappella group that began through East Granby Congregational Church in 1994. The talented quartet - aiming to raise money for the very place where they began - decided to donate all proceeds from CD sales to the church fund.

Ultimately, the endeavor has proved rewarding: check out this article from The Granby News for more information on the group's beginnings, some insights on the project, and the successful fundraising they've accomplished thus far.

After 16 years, East Granby's Gospel Guys release their first CD

Overall, the constant flow of varied, new projects in the studio have made us question the phrase "lazy days of summer." Our days have been anything but! One voice that's been floating around our halls for some time now is that of Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal, this summer's Prince of Persia. With an ongoing series of creative videos that feature the prince in Lego form, it's begun to feel as if the character is right here in our studio! Just imagine ...


Maybe someday! As always, stay tuned to this blog for more updates.
