Miscreant Recordings

Posts Tagged ‘music’

Lots happening at the studio this month, including a new look to the website! I have been on the hunt for a new studio space in the Auckland city area, it’s early days yet, but hopefully I will find something and have it all setup in the coming months. This will be much more convenient for our more central auckland based clients who struggle to get out to Albany.

I’ve just completed 2 new tracks titled ‘These Days’ and ‘Time’ for Auckland based rock band The Zoup which will be featured on their new upcoming EP. Tracks should be available to listen on their website in august/september or you can grab a promo CD off them at any of their upcoming shows to be one of the first to hear the goodness. The band are also touring the sth island so be sure to check out their website for tour dates around NZ.

Rotorua based rock/metal band ‘Harvest’ were also in the studio the other day recording a single, the track, as yet un-named, should be up very soon, it sounds hot!

Punk band Trash City Victims will be in the studio next week recording their debut album. We are setting the whole band up in the studio and recording it live and raw.. looking forward to this one as it’s going to be a very different approach to the whole recording process than the usual overdub method.

Stay tuned for more new music too as i will soon be updating my music player with some of the latest of my production works.

It’s May music month again (even though I believe every month should be music month) and it’s time to get out and see some live music and support some kiwi talent, especially for those of you who usually don’t. Every band who is a band has probably organised a show this month, so it’s a great opportunity to check your gig guides and see when and where your favorite kiwi artists are playing!

I have made some changes to the site, you will see to the right i have added a Facebook and Twitter logo which link to the corresponding pages, if you havn’t become a fan or follower on either site please take the time to go to it and join, you will get all the latest news as it happens as well like links to new music and stuff.

I’ve added the ‘Jester’ company logo run by my good friend Tory Staples who is an event and band manager/booking agent amongst other things. If you are a band and need help, he’s the go to go guy and i’m proud to have Jester as a partner.

I’ve been working hard on the Jimmy and the Goodbrew record these past couple weeks. I will start mixing this week and putting some finishing touches on the tracks, songs are taking shape and I am very stoked to have the opportunity to take part in such an awesome project. It’s been hella fun!

Cheers!

Gidday,

So summer is over and she’s starting to get a wee bit chilly here.. will be time to light the fire soon! The level of talent blessing MR isn’t cold though, as i shall explain what is happening at the moment….

Started working on Jimmy and the Goodbrew’s debut album last week.. sounding fantastic! The band will be in the studio for the next few weeks for a estimated mid to late year release in time for summer.. if you havn’t heard any of the bands tunes, we did a single together late last year titled ‘Golden Rule’ which you can check out in the music player. If you’re a fan of reggae/roots/acoustic type stuff in the vein of Tahuna Breaks, Black Seeds etc then this will be a record for you.

I worked with a new hardcore metal band from Hamilton (No official name yet but currently going under ‘Before One’s Face’) in the week before i started working with Jimmy.. we recorded 3 songs and i’m in the process of mixing at the moment. It’s something a little different from what I have been doing (hella heavy!) and I think these young guys show a lot of promise.. they sure have their musical chops sorted.

I’ve been working on a few other smaller projects too, one of them being the final mixing and mastering touches to Ryan Kershaw’s acoustic album which should see light in a few weeks.

I have a few future projects booked including ‘The Zoup’ who are back to record 2 more tracks in late May.

I have a bit of room in June available now so if you would like to see why all these artists trust me with their music in my hands, feel free to flick me an email to discuss your project.. I won’t disappoint!

cheers
