This is a general recording update. Hello online land. I have been busy recording projects as of late. I recorded a track for Mars Lasar a few days ago. Mars is a world / new age instrumental keyboard guy from Australia. The track was very cool and I did a number of tracks so far. EWI melody, air flute EWI sound effects, 2 Tenor tracks, and Flute and Alto Flute tracks. Mars wants me to add some Soprano Sax to a section or 2 and I'll be done. I really like where this track is going!

Damon the Gypsy is an artist from the 60,s. He gave me a recently remastered track of one of his hits from the 1969 release - Song of a Gypsy. I pulled up mini moog soft synth patches and some EWI patches and laid down a few tracks; sent it to him, and he wants me to come into his studio next week to do it there. Don't think he cared for the tracks that much, but I will let him produce me and we should get it done here soon. I think we are going to rearrange the track a bit and add a more extended solo section too. It will be very different and I'm always excited about different stuff!

Right now, I'm editing the new Shannon Kennedy, 70's CD. This week will be very intense as I try to make the deadline for the Mix and Master guy, scheduled for this weekend I believe.

I also met with Bobby Cruz Monday to get back on track with the Gospel CD. We reviewed what we have and went over what we need to get done to get the CD finished. Bobby and I will be working hard to get this CD finished and released for later this year!

I'm gonna run. Very overloaded and just taking a quick break to update you all. I'll try to get some of this up in sound clips - heavy on the wind tracks, for you all to hear when I get a minute. That's the cool thing about tracking at home. I can mix a version for me highlighting what I added to the track. And with the internet; I can share that with you guys too. If I only had another 10 hours in each day...
