July 2010: Mixing and mastering of Geoff Noble's CD Ocean Song has been completed, to be released in the first week of August. Also in August, I'll be travelling to BC for some vacation as well as to play with Geoff at the CD release on August 8th at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. Click here for the concert info.
Work also continues on another collaboration with the Edmonton, AB duo of Linda MacDonald and Bruce Matichuk.
May 2010: Work continues on Geoff Noble's new CD, "Ocean Song", most of the tracks nearing the final mix stage. Renowned PEI fiddler Richard Wood will be making a guest appearance on three of the songs, with sessions happening at the end of the month. Also, an internet collaboration with Campbellton, NB singer/songwriter Rick Hutchinson (guest backing vocals by Paul Hutchinson of Kerozen) resulted in a cover of Bob Dylan's "Forever Young". Check it out in the media player.
A new Universal Audio UAD-2 card has been added to the system along with some additional plugins, resulting in much more processing capacity for mixing and mastering.
April 2010: Tracking and mixing of Geoff Noble tracks mostly.
Major equipment changes as well, the venerable Behringer MX9000 console has been retired, replaced with ART Tubefire 8 mic preamps, Mackie Big Knob Studio Control, and Behringer BCF2000 progammable control surface. The major guts of the studio can now all be crammed into a movable rack so mobile recording can be more easily done.
March 2010: Finishing up Linda MacDonald's song "For the Love", now in the media player on the front page of the site.
Recording sessions late in the month with my old friend Geoff Noble, formerly of Nova Scotia now based in Sidney, BC for his new CD to be released later this summer.
January-February 2010: Working on an internet collaboration with Edmonton-based singer/songwriter Linda MacDonald and my brother Vaughn in Halifax.
November 2009: John Boudrias' CD "Hold On Forever" nominated for a Canadian Aboriginal Music Award in the Best Country Album category, recorded, mixed and mastered at Corvidae Music, with special guest appearance by Don Reed on fiddle. We didn't win, but it was still a great honour to be nominated, especially for it being John's debut CD, and Corvidae Music's first official full length production!
October 2009: Working with Ottawa-based pianist/vocalist Shayne Orok on his iTunes-released single "This Nightmare".
