Today was a fun one.
It started off with news that a promo we did for History Channel had gone to air, featuring Ryan Star of Warner Music.
Next up, was music for the MTV Movie Awards which airs this weekend. We are psyched to be part of this because rumor has it that this year its going to be a really good one with some much needed comedy infused antics from Andy Samberg.
By the time I was ready for lunch I had already squeezed so much music into my day that was spent. Before I could get my lunch down I noticed in my ical I had 20 minutes to be in Brooklyn to record at Shabby Road studios for an HBO project. This project turned out to be the highlight of my day, if not the year thus far. I was asked to make some authentic Mexican music for a show open and was struggling to get that authentic sound. Then, last week, as I was about to give up, I found a Mexican folk band busking on the street and got their info. They agreed to come do an impromptu session of traditional folk songs for this and I would in turn produce a CD of music for them to keep. The deal was pretty sweet for all involved and I am very happy with the music we recorded and the overall vibe of the day.
Here are some pics and various recordings we made.
