Hello from Bedford!
What a great summer it has been. The completion of WoZ for the Wii/Ninetendo DS, the development of my very first iPhone app (more on this in the next few weeks), and lots and lots of production has me foaming at the mouth with rabid energy. I've been hard at work on three tracks to kick off the new fall season: "Whispers (Re-Edit)", "Foxe", and "White Flash". This weekend I have the great Stacy Kimball coming up to Boston to record the vocals on "White Flash", a big room track and probably my favorite of the three. Krysta Youngs has also agreed to sing on the track, which has me going in circles with ideas for a female duet. "Foxe" is a super cool deep latin house track I wrote coming off WoZ and features the amazing operatic workings of Glenda Landavazo. Seriously, this girl has a beautiful voice - sounds like chocolate.
Last night I had the privilege of attending "Roar" at Berklee's Cafe 939. The line-up included Lisa Bello, Krysta Youngs, and Casey Desmond. I left the show with a renewed hope for this town and the talent it produces as well as a new anger for this town and the lack of channels it has to help the talent it produces. All three of these acts were extremely talented and should have the opportunity to play more frequently all over this town in various venues. Sadly, it's not as easy as it seems. With the recent bastardizing of Landsdowne Street we've lost one of the last hotspots for music to chain restaurants and cheesy theme halls. The good thing to come out of all of this is that I got to speak to some of the vocalists after the show and they were all keen to work on re-interpretations of their material. I've also been a fan of collaboration as I feel it provides perspective into our individual careers and also opens lots of doors, so we'll see what comes of it.
Now that I've finished ranting, I'm off to the studio with Stacy. It's going to be an exciting season and I cant wait to share everything I've been working on for the last 6 months with all of you.
Be bad!
George
