Damien Studio News FEB 2007


Sessions

It seems like the holidays never happened with back to back sessions underway
this month.

Jez Ashurst Songwriter(2 recent co writes have earned him number ones in the UK
and JP) and Frontman for UK band Farrah who have been in town lately also does
the odd bit of producing along with production partner Andy Campbell. The pair
took advantage of being downunder to produce and track the tunes for the next
Montana album at Damien Gerards. The record will be mixed by the pair in London
and is slated for a summer UK release. The guys fell in love with the studios
classic Shure SM7 Mic's and also utlisied the extremely versatile Audio Technica
AT4050 on everything from snare to vocals.



The Charles Manson Experiment have finally mixed their debut EP with producer
Andrew Beck over a three day lockout which allowed them to get all the bells and
whistles fitted in just right!



Upload One artists Behind Chicken Wire, Sideswiped, MurmuR, Hailer and Matt
Heath have all been in tracking and mixing.(see full artists list below)



Jazz/Blues singer/songwriter Peter Miller Robinson has been working on his next
release with Russell Pilling engineering.



4Bolt will be back on form this year with a new album and video and were spotted
putting the finishing touches to a couple of tracks with Russell as well.



The Honey Palace will visit the studio next week to put down a bunch of new
tunes for Publisher Fogsongs Music.



Mastering

William Bowden has been busy as ever since his new rewire and installation of a
Sequoia Compiler and digital patchbay.

This means ISRC numbers can now be inserted direct onto CD's - a must in the new
digital world.

Recent clients have included The Teddy Sexuals, a Norwegian Dance Project

transferred via FTP, Soft Tigers, The Scare(UK), The Angry Tradesman(Rob Hirst)



The budget mastering in The Red stairs room has seen some sessions also

with Andrew Beck taking the reigns for a young metal band and Kristian Hill
mastering the latest soundslikecafe Volume 15.







Myspace Deal

The DG's myspace recording special www.myspace.com/damiengerard is going strong
The Biscuits taking up the reduced rates deal for this month and will track and
mix with Russell. The deal allows young bands to have 6 hours free preproduction
time the night before their 12 hour lockout - more than enough to get some
quality tracks down to get gigs, raise awareness and

post on the net.
