When I arrived home last Friday, after a long day of tracking, my daughter asked me how my day was.
“Really fun, I was working with a great singer today”, I replied.
“Did you have to, you know… work on his vocals?” she asked. Daisy knows too much about studios.
“Not a bit” was my reply.
Music Game Studio makes game play versions of artists songs for games like Rock Band, and we’ve got a brand new look!
The site has individual artist pages for our artists. Each has a photo, bio, links for more information, and of course links to their games! There is also a Video page; an easy to navigate, easy to watch collection of preview videos for all of our games. Come see our work in action, or just relax and listen to some great music.
Wow, what a month. In just four weeks I’ve recorded orchestral scores for 4 productions I’m doing. Two great projects for Disney, The Little Mermaid and an adaptation of Winnie The Pooh, an adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, and a new Christmas show for Busch Gardens Williamsburg featuring scoring from the Vancouver Olympic opening ceremony. All told, 129 pieces of music.

In an age where being versatile is not only respected but essential, I feel very privileged to work on such a wide range of excellent projects.
Recently, among other things, I’ve finished production on a development project for alt-indy rockers The Pursuits; a production of Miss Saigon for MTI; Camp Rock, The Musical for Disney; mixing for new pop diva B.E.T.A (watch for her…. she’s killer); and mixing of a re-record by cowpunk rockabilly legends Dash Rip Rock of their hit Johnny Ace for Rockband.
Here are some selections I’d love to share…. pass it around!

Again, one of my favorite metal bands of all time. Tight, Powerful and still melodic.
“Jigsaw Man”, from Wargasm’s third full length release – Suicide Notes – has insanely tight ensemble rhythms and pure brutal force. Add deeply introspective lyrics and you have….
