Hi Guys,
I have had a couple requests to post some material, so here it goes.
http://soundcloud.com/solid-sound-atlanta Little info on the tracks:
Katya- I got a call from a local charity association. They specialize in finding deserving orphans from other countries and sponsoring them for a summer trip to the U.S. The host family was preparing to send the girl, Katya, back to Russia after spending a summer with them. As they packed her bags, she was singing in her room. The family heard her. They were amazed. As it turns out, she was a classically trained singer and sang in the orphanage for visitors, and for festivals.
I got a call with less than 24 hours before she stepped foot on the plane back to Russia; we donated the time for the studio. After working out the logistics, they showed up at the studio and had 3 hours to come in, nail it and leave for the airport. Anyway, it was a great experience. I wish we could would have had longer to get it done, but she wanted to sing 2 songs....and that did not leave much room for error. She is a little flat here and there, but overall, I think it turned out well. By the way, she was 13 years old and had never heard herself sing before. She came out of the booth, heard me mixing and asked "Is that me?" She cried.
Here is a video from a phone of the host parent:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAiLt4wFtSQ&feature=em-share_video_user Every Second- This is a track recorded for an ad agency for an "ICONIC" food brand. They wanted to word "Moment" used in the song as much as possible. Go figure.
The Dream- This is for a song library in L.A. The owner of the library had a client that needed "angelic, floating music". He also said that he did not want it to be too ambient..and needed it to move forward..not sit in one place.
Anyway..if anyone wants to know mics or gear or plugs or anything...I am happy to share!
Love this community.
