Chet, Heyward & Paul Gold @ Salt Mastering -Brooklyn. Paul did a great job mastering the Heyward Howkins record.
Speed of light music production team at work manipulating transformers, tubes, tape 1’s & 0’s preparing the Heyward Howkins debut for intl. release… Mastering for the Heyward record tomorrow in Brooklyn at Salt w/ Paul Gold. 18 months of hard work for Heyward and Chet have gone into it’s making. Along with the significant contributions of several very special guests it’s shaped up into a special batch of gems. It’s been an honor to have Produced and traveled the road w/ Heyward and his fine songs.
The most decent, affable & talented Phila Orchestra musician that we know and love…Nitzan Haroz came by hong kong stingray studios to play on a few more tracks.
Heyward & I were stoked & honored to share.
The lovely Birdie Busch came by to sing some very nice sounding vocals on the Heyward record as tracking continues. (1 more song to go for full length completion, and onto mixing)
Birdie has a very unique and and pleasant voice. It was a pleasure to meet / work with her.
What has ol’ Chet been up to you ask?…Many hours of studio work with Heyward and Friends. That’s what. And thanks for asking.
