Hi there everyone,

It's been a while (at least a month) since I posted any news!
This post is to share the amazing work of Annick Brémault aka Aloysius Bell on this song "Your Heart is Feathers".
I engineered the audio recordings for the video and it was done all live, of the floor in only 8 inputs (listed below) and it was mixed by my friend Sacha Daoud which also produced this version of the song.
I hope you enjoy it!

All preamps mentioned are Unison emulations running out of an Apollo 8p

A few months ago (end of June 2018 to be exact) I recorded the Montreal based band "The Leftovers" live at La Hacienda Creative using mostly cheap microphones (the only expensive mic was the AEA R88 for overheads and a U87 for vocals) and Universal Audio Apollo interfaces.

When you have to do whatever it takes to be able to deliver the best possible result on a very small amount of time

Let me tell you a quick story:  

October 2012 I started working with Brian on the Papo & Yo original soundtrack.  

This was his first video-game project and it was as close as I’ve ever been to anything related to soundtracks or video game music.  

Jump a few months ahead, (about summer 2013) and the Tomb Raider reboot was released.  
After playing the game I told Brian: “Dude, I can totally see you working in a Tomb Raider game!!”  
A couple years later, guess which project Brian was invited to pitch to? Yep… you guessed it right… FUCKING TOMB RAIDER!!!!!!!!! 

Trying to figure out the best way to connect audio interfaces that I need to use for a specific project

I'm super-very-ultra-mega-proud that my great friend Briga has been nominated for the Juno Award for World Music Album 2017.
Go girl!!!!!!!

I always liked to create my own sounds... using outobard FX, or stacking plugins, or recording the sound of a specific track through a room, or through a piece of gear that was not supposed to handle that signal... whatever... try something different.
