Very excited about this release! A lot of love went into this one to make sure the final results were a reflection of the magic that went into these performances. It was also mixed down to analog tape which was a fun challenge. I’m very proud of this but the honorable mention goes to Lilli and her moving performance which is by the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard 💜

Mourning the untimely loss of Gangsta Boo. Da Mafia 6ix “6ix Commandments” was one of the first major albums I worked on, subsequently we did a 60 date tour and spent a lot of time together, making the most of the adventure touring can be. Extremely talented, full of life, an unpredictable firecracker at times lol but all these qualities made her a one of a kind. She always kept it real with me and I had planned when the right song came along to feature her on a track I produced. Hindsight is 20/20 unfortunately, I always told her it would happen and how much it would mean to me. This life is unfortunately so unpredictable 💔 Here we’re recording vocals for what would become the Killjoy club record.

It was an honor and a privilege to be asked to speak at the very school where my love for music was cultivated and was given nothing but support by the many teachers that made a life-lasting impression on me. More than glad to pay it forward by offering my experience and knowledge to this awesome production class.

Saint Paul’s School alumnus David Villalta ‘07, owner and CEO of Studio 55 and General Manager of Louisiana Red Hot Records, recently returned to campus to share his knowledge and professional experience as a music producer with the students in Mr. Moran's Music Production class.

For any of your piano recording needs I am at your service. We have a beautiful Yamaha C3 baby grand at Studio 55 with a lush beautiful room to record in. The results from the latest recording for Rural Route 9’s upcoming record were exquisite and it was such a blast working with Wade Hymel and Matt Stokes on this! I could technically take any MIDI information from your session and have it replayed on a beautiful acoustic piano! More on that later! But the option exists to enhance your piano performances if needed.

A lot of hard work went into the production of the Marsh EP “Eros and Thanatos” Which I recorded,mixed and mastered. We all set a very high standard of what the final product should sound like. The result was something we were very proud of. I can be very OCD and meticulous in my work and it was equally and even more matched by the work ethic of the band.

So moving forward we discussed with such a high quality production everything has to be top-notch. Director Dusty Cooper really stepped up to the plate and smashed a home run on this video with assistance from a great friend of mine Steven Canatella. There were other hard working people who helped bring this to life.. or from the grave 👻😆 so thank you as well. It was shot at New Orleans Nightmare. Just in time for Halloween..

We have fought through hell and back to make this first EP happen for you guys. It's been a long time coming, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
