Mastering
Every few days I think of something I want to share, but I've been waiting for the new website. Here it is! Expect more blogging down the road.

Fall 2011 - What's up this fall? Newly mastered records for Mark Geary, who’s currently touring Europe with Glen Hansard, Afro-Colombian electronic band Palenke Soultribe, Michigan honky tonk duo Some Velvet Evening, the sublime debut of NYC’s Cultfever, and a deeply inspiring debut (!) recording by 85 year old jazz pianist Boyd Lee Dunlop.
