17 Sessions, 89 hours (9pm-3am), TRC Studio A. Carnatic Electronic Jam. This was an insane session (also a music video shoot.)

I've engineered the majority of the EP this is going to end up on, and I'm crazy psyched to have my name attached to something so cool and weird.

I'm back at it, and in the new Berklee 160 facility. Two enormous live spaces with Neve88RS consoles, a smaller but still huge space with an SSL Duality, a Mastering Suite, and a 7.1 and Atmos equipped Dubstage with an enormous Avid System5. Every room contains a grand piano (one of which is a Steinway 9-footer) and the spaces are all synchronized and equipped to record together. This complex is a tank. You'll be seeing a good amount of it on this page throughout the next good while...the first image is one of the three machine rooms that powers all of this. Of course, studio A B C D E and L3 all still exist back in the older building and are open for sessions, but the SSLs have been replaced with Dualities and APIs. I'll miss em but it'll be fun to get to know the Duality a bit more intimately.

As of Monday: 16 Sessions -- 83 hours (9am-1pm) -- Berklee Studio 1 -- Orchestral Recording Techniques (recording film cues live.)

This session will take place every week from now until mid-december. I'm one of six student engineers working under Jim Donahue, engineer for the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Boston Pops. It's almost as chaotic as it is epic. It's also the first 3-department collaboration course in the history of the college; the players are an orchestral course from the ensemble department, the music is composed and conducted by individuals from an advanced scoring and composition course, and the engineers are MPE students. The score is recorded live-to-two and multitrack to Pro Tools, all live to video.

Oh, and I'll be showing off the microphone cabinets a bit as the semester comes along, but for now, a microphone that I had never seen before: Schoeps KFM-6. It's that spherical thing in the center of the decca tree in the second image. Sort of like a dummy head for binaural recording, but sounds natural over speakers, and sounded great blended in with the decca tree. List price: $8,200.

Life has been a little bit insane lately. I haven't had time to go into the studio or update this blog at all. I'll still try and keep this updated once I get back into things, but it'll be a few weeks or months at least. Thanks for the patience and love everyone!

15 sessions -- 79 hours (6-10pm) -- TRC Studio A -- Engineer -- Viola Overdubs. This is a piece I began working on over a year ago (the other reflection in the glass is the composer, who I've been working closely with for his project, Trandcention. Check it out here:

Road trip == Studio break

And I'm off to PDF in Delaware, followed Firedrums in CA. I might jump in on a session or two in LA when I'm in town but it's pretty likely I won't be engineering again until my return to Boston on June 20th. Until then!
