The latest happenings at ULS
Back in May, we added some new artwork to the studio stairwell: a poster-sized reproduction of the metal sign on the door of a 1947 Voice-O-Graph. Today, we’re adding a new piece of oversize artwork inspired by these iconic machines.
Today, we’ve added another piece of artwork inspired by the legendary Voice-O-Graph “automatic recording studio”.
A few years back, we had the pleasure of working with DC-area Norteño band Los Ilegales de Lempira on their album, “Tequila y Bucana.” In addition to recording the album here at ULS, I also did the photography and graphic design for the project. We’ve added a new piece of artwork commemorating their work here at ULS.
Since we started planning this facility in 2010, I have been on a quest to come up with some cool “vintage” artwork to decorate the studio’s stairwell and hallways. Along the way, though, I have found myself really hampered by the fact that until much more recent years, recording studios and recording, generally, were not “consumer facing” products.
Last weekend, I flew to Chicago to join Paul Sirvatka for the release of “the Christmas Album 23 Years in the RE-making,” — A Time Will Come for Singing.
Over the weekend, we held an open house for friends and neighbors. One of our neighbors (and hopefully new friends!) mentioned that a certain rock luminary, Greg Munford, lived in our neighborhood.
A cool bit of audio cleanup that we are very, very proud of…
Working remotely, Paul Sirvatka and I recently finished the final mixes for the special edition re-release of the St. Petronille Contemporary Choir’s 1995 album, A Time Will Come For Singing. Here’s the latest.
I am speaking on a panel at the Audio Engineering Society show this afternoon at 2 PM with our good friend and studio designer, John Storyk. John is leading a panel discussion on the challenges of building small studios. This is the second time I’ve been on a panel with John, and these are always fun. If you’re in New York for the AES Show, I hope you’ll come check it out!
In the “nothing ever goes as planned” department, it’s been nearly a year since my good friend Paul Sirvatka and I have put in any work on the special edition of the (now) 23 year old album, A Time Will Come For Singing. But Paul is back this week, and the finish line is in sight.
