Is it Fall? What is time? Fun new projects in Music & Audio Production

‘Tis the era to wear many hats & I’ve added a few new ones to the ol’ wardrobe. (That’s meant to be read with a Katherine Hepburn voice fyi).

This Covid pause has given me a chance to launch a scrappy, exciting project from my heart called Tiny Plays with Theatre Director/Choreographer, Calvin Atkinson. Think blackbox theatre energy, but in your headphones. More on this soon, but three playwrights are currently under assignment creating new, short works. We are about to start the casting process. (eeeee!)

While the world literally burns, I also have had the pleasure of working with a well-known American actor on his new podcast that features conversations with fascinating people he has met along his way. As a creative editor and producer, we have been finding the sensibility of the show and building our audio-vocabulary. And now, I have so much gear that I own a snake pit of audio cables.
Official announcement, press release and launch dates also soon to follow. (Likely Winter 2020/21, if we still have a society and aren’t Lord-of-the-Flies style ruled by a conch shell ).

A fun new challenge for my newly acquired Acid Pro skills: working on a commission from a fantastic Vocal Coach, Podcaster and all around amazing human: Jordan Bonner. He co-hosts an Anime-centric podcast and is a living encyclopedia of information. To listen to Anime Savants & catch the Anime-inspired music I got to build as their intro/outro, visit anchor, itunes or wherever you stream your media. (probably!)

vote.
seriously.
pls.

Summer in the City:

“Ok girls . . . “ the New Summer’s Eve Active campaign has dropped — just in time for temps in the 90s. Recorded from a blanket fort in my own apartment.


I’m also very excited to be at the helm of editing and producing a new interview podcast series coming this fall from a well-known American actor. Very interesting challenges with all remote recording. (But that’s really the least of the challenges 2020 has to offer, huh?) More when that series gets announced.

Stay well. Stay hydrated. Take great care.
