Tweet Records
Good morning Saturday =)
This has been quite a few days for me.
Before I get into what I did last night at Tweet Records, let me give you a little background.
There is a cool open mic that I go to called The Starry Plough, I’ve mentioned it before in this blog. The hostess, Joan Pez, is the coolest & kindest lady you will ever meet. When I played there the first time, she automatically asked me to play a feature set with Nomad a couple of weeks afterwards. Then the more I frequent there the more good vibes I get. Then one day I played “Guilt & Empathy” and she really liked it. So she came up to me one day and said “Hey Ash, I want us to do a nice produced version of that song” I totally agreed. So it turns out that she has her own recording studio, called Tweet Records.
So I called my good friend Ghislan, who is a percussionist, and we met up with Johnny Diamond (he’s a sound engineer) and one of the coolest dudes I’ve met out here. We went up to Joan’s studio last night and recorded the song =).
They will email me the final production once its done, and Joan said that once its done, she will have no problem showing it to people.
I got so many complements from those two, its really flattering. Joan keeps telling me how she like the fact that I “cross genres”, and how they can’t stop dancing to this song =)
Johnny said that my singing has this feeling that makes you want to imitate it, but you can’t. Those have to be some of the most flattering things I’ve heard out here. This is so cool. =)
They are sad that I’m leaving, which is why they are trying to get as much of me in the studio as possible, so that I would have something to use as an official “demo” when I go back to the east coast. I must say, I truly do believe that I’ve made friends for life here, this is great =)
So there you have it, last night was an all musical night. Tonight, we are having a “Karaoke & Sushi” night here at The Muse…this is going to be interesting to say the least =)
I’ve posted pictures of me at Tweet Records on my facebook, check it out if you like.
Salaam.
