Two big CD releases this week:
Petrina Foley has her 5 song disc, "Proper Goodbye" and Bone Dry System has released its 6 song effort, "Bardo". Both CD's will be available at the first event I'm putting on as 37' Live! at Church on October 18th, along with Vary Lumar and St. Helena. Check out my Shows page for more info. In the meantime, I'm getting back to work.FINALLY!!! Back in business everyone! Hope you all missed me a lot. I'll catch you up on some news:
Vary Lumar's "Waiting Room", a band I just worked with, was named Album of the Month in the Northeast Performer. I feel it's the best completed work I've done at my studio thus far and I wanted to share the news with my friends. The review is right here.

In addition to Vary Lumar, here's a list of some other things happening at my studio just south of Boston:

Craig Ahern (known for his work with the Boston Philharmonic) released his debut solo classical guitar CD and it's getting rave reviews. Craig has actually started a second CD with me last week. He's an incredible player; you should all check him out.
Crowded Streets have finished recording their debut EP and we'll start mixing at the end of the month. These guys can really play and have some really good songs, so stay tuned!
Petrina Foley's solo effort is almost done! Brad McCarthy and I are hard at work on mixing and it's sounding great already. With her voice it's hard to NOT make it sound great. There will be a live performance from my studio in August posted on Music is Art, so stay tuned for that!
Bone Dry System has also finished tracking and will be mixed as soon as Petrina's is finished. We're all excited about the tracks so far, so this'll be a fun one!
Seventh Room is in the middle of vocal tracking and everything's moving along. For you fans of heavy rock, you'll dig this one.
Smite the Righteous will be in this week, Terminally Aborted Ghost will be in for preproduction next weekend. They're both great metal bands for you metal fans.

Jack Russell has started their debut CD. Bass and drums were done at 37' and, when the guitar parts get finished, Tim will come back to 37' to do his vocals. Stay tuned!

Petrina Foley's CD is well under way. Guitars should be finished this week, then on to vocals!
Craig Ahern (Boston Philharmonic) has been working on a CD of solo classical guitar/lute pieces. I tell you, there's nothing like hearing a great artist do what they do best.
That's all for now everyone! There are some interesting things on the horizon, including a lot of mixing, so stay tuned!Early 2008 update:
The new Girls, Guns & Glory CD has just been completed. This is the band's first post-BMA Award effort, and all of us believe it's their best yet. Stay tuned!
Wicked Witch has been tracking at the studio over the past few months and, when finished, will be sent to Paul Hager to be mixed. Paul's a great engineer, so this is sure to turn out amazing.
Hellspeak has also tracked two songs and have currently made plans to complete their first full length CD here.
Tracking for Petrina Floey's debut has begun. Mike LeVesque played some killer tracks, and I finished my bass tracks. Now for the fun stuff!
I've got a couple of great bands coming in in March, so I'll update you all on those projects as they go. Also, if you get a chance, check out the Music Is Art blog by my friend Danielle. It's on my links page and it's amazing! Slainte!I've been slacking here, but for good reason.
I've finished a record with a great band called Vary Lumar called "Waiting Room", being mastered on Tuesday at Peerless. The project started in late June and got wrapped up for good Wednesday, so it's been a long time coming. In other news:

The Static of the Gods first full-length CD, Cycles Follow Signs has been completed! A day of final touches will see, in my humble opinion, the best work to date from me as well as the band. They all performed their songs so well it made my job easy to say the least. The CD should be available in time for their NEMO showcase at the Paradise Lounge on September 29th, so go to the show and get a copy!
In the meantime, go out on September 5th and Get the Dark New Day release, The Back Porch Sessions on Warner Music Group to hear what I do when a mastermind (Mr. Jimbo Barton) is at the helm.

Next up, the first full-length CD for Oddway. Stay tuned...The transition is now complete. I have taken over Altitude Studios in Rockland, MA and are operating under the 37' Productions umbrella. I am personally adding my newly aquired Pro Tools HD|3 rig to the equipment list, as well as all of my other goodies. The website for the studio will be up soon. I'm currently working on 2006 full-length releases for Static of the Gods and Oddway, so this is a very busy and opportune time. More updates to come after TapeOpCon 2006! I've just finished recording Eddie Pepitone, veteran of "Last Comic Standing", "Old School", as well as many late night shows. His comedy has truly unique individual and working on this project had me in tears from laughing so hard. We did all of Eddie's parts for the skits at Noise in the Attic Studio in Scituate. Many thanks to Paul Stewart, Bobby D of Backroads Entertainment and all the folks at Exotic Recordings for a great time. The new Oddway disc, "The Beachwood Sessions", is now finished, mastered by Jeff Lipton of Peerless. The song "Sunset Sunrise" is on my SOUNDS page. Check it out!Big thanks go out to Lexi Kahn of "The Noise" for listing Static of the Gods' "The Nature of the Wave" in her Top 12 albums of 2005. The EP was #9 on the list, but the band and I hope to move up higher once the full length CD is done.Starting mixes for the Oddway CD today. The tracks came out well. Now I must live up to them!

I'll post something after the indespensible Jeff Lipton masters it.I got back from L.A. this week after engineering a session with Jimbo Barton for a band on Warner Bros. called Dark New Day. The session is for an upcoming acoustic EP of songs off their debut CD entitled "Twelve Year Silence", as well as some new songs. The string arraingements are, in the words of Jimbo, awesome, and I have to say so are his mixes (as usual). Look for the EP in spring/summer.Happy New Year everybody!!! Here's a beginning of the year update:

I've started working with the band Oddway recently. They have a really cool retro sound and a great singer in Petrina Foley. I'll post some songs as they come to fruition.

Also, vote for Static of the Gods for Best New Band on the Noise board: http://www.thenoiseboard.com.
More to come...The lastest Static of the Gods quote, from New England Performer:

"The songs are well-written throughout, and the production is top notch..."

check out their site from my Links page or their song "Supergenius" on my Sounds page.I hope I speak for all of us in saying our thoughts and prayers are with those in New Orleans. I'd just heard from a colleague that mentioned the dire straits everyone seems to be in, so if anyone reading this can donate any time and/or money, please do so. Every little bit helps.Tonight is the CD Release for Static Of The Gods' "The Nature Of The Wave". Here are excerpts from the first in-print review:

"...Their debut EP, The Nature of the Wave, is seventeen minutes of pure ear candy. Recorded in Allston, MA, the EP boasts a surprisingly robust sound for local disc..."
-Dan Tebo I did some tracking at Altitude Studios today with Grand Evolution. Drew Townson is producing the project, and has gotten some great tracks so far. We tracked guitars today, with vocals and more to go...Last weekend I had the pleasure of working at Noise in the Attic Studios, owned by Rob Loyot, a great guy and even better sax player. The project was a mix for Minky Starshine out of Rhode Island. I did three songs, with the hopes of doing more as I really liked the Material and the fact that I was given room to experiment. Song samples will be posted as soon as they are mastered.I'm currently mixing the Static of the Gods record. The tracking was done at Mad Oak (one of my favorite rooms in town) and Altitude (a cool, funky little place run by Drew Townson), with some overdubbing done at my place, which I call The Bullpen. We're all excited about the way this one's coming out. Check it out on my Sounds page.It looks like the John Truscelli record is FINALLY going to be mastered. For those of you who haven't had Jeff Lipton work on a record at Peerless Mastering, I highly recommend him. He's only done one record of a band I worked with but he made the most of it and stands by his excellent work. You can check out some pre-mastered mixes here.
