not the movie...

Today I was at Avatar Studios in New York for the first time. I was there with with the Matt Geraghty Project. I'll be mixing the album and I'm so thrilled he's recording at this top-notch facility with such top-notch players (Gil Goldstein, Mark Walker, Jonathan Kriesberg.) Matt's new music is absolutely stunning and the engineers at Avatar are brilliant.

I love being an engineer, even though my path has been a bit non-traditional. Most engineers assist in a place like Avatar for years to learn the ropes. I learned about audio production through film music, for which I moved to New York 5 years ago. That industry is a tough nut at best, but I'm grateful for the small amount of work I've done in it as it enabled me to learn about sound. I'm still learning all the time, and today was a great learning experience as I saw some truly masterful music being played by masterful musicians and captured by masterful sound professionals.
