Recent Stuff

Posted by Rich on Friday, January 07, 2005
I hope everyone had a great holiday.

So, seeing as the blog is so fresh, let me bring you up to date on recent happenings:

OUR LADY PEACE

I spent much of December doing a whack of recording and ProTools work with Bob Rock for the next Our Lady Peace CD. This is the fourth project I've worked on with the band and they just keep getting better and better. Raine's songwriting is awesome.

SIMPLE PLAN

As well, I just finished mixing a 75 minute live broadcast/release for Simple Plan that they recorded on their last Japanese tour in November 2004. It's airing on a show called WOWOW in Japan in January. Hey, if somebody records the actual broadcast in Japan on to a DVD, let me know.

JAMES LaBRIE

I started recording this project at the end of September, doing drums with Mike Mangini. Mike, like the rest of the James LaBrie Band, is an insanely talented player. Since then, we've been convening in between James' writing sessions for the next Dream Theater CD. Finally, I'm at the mixing stage and it's going very well. I think both LaBrie and DT fans are going to enjoy his evolution.

RUSH

I'm in the studio with Rush on Monday recording and mixing a track for their contribution to the Canadian Tsunami Relief.

There is also some quasi-old news at the RPM Direct website.

That's all for now.
