Electric Blue Velvet Records Imagine, Create, Share To say that I love music would be an understatement. Since the day of my birth, I have been surrounded by music.

My mother was a music teacher, and my father had a huge affinity for jazz. Both of my parents were pianists. At age four, my mother began teaching me the piano. I was lucky to have been surrounded by music. It was the desire of my parents to have a steady diet of music at a young age. At age 9, I wrote my first piano song. At 10, I began playing the drums, because my brother thought that I was laz

y and that I could sit down and play. At 12, I got my first guitar and immediately started writing acoustic guitar ballads. After-all, my favorite hair metal bands were White Lion, Warrant and Bon Jovi (insert embarrasment). In high school I continued piano lessons and took on guitar lessons as well. I really started listening to music in a different way. At first I would listen to one instrumental part of a song, but as my knowledge on each instrument grew, the understanding of how they worked together to form a musical composition really came to fruition. It was a natural progression for me to begin producing and arranging music. After high school, I spent my college years bouncing between Berklee College of Music in Boston and the Hartt School of music in Hartford. I finally decided that Berklee was the place for me and enrolled in the Music Production and Engineering program. After graduation, I worked for a number of studios in the area, with an attempt of meeting and learning from producers. As time went by, I realized that these people could only show and tell me about their experiences and it was time to fly on my own. That’s when I built Electric Blue Velvet. What better way to celebrate my growth in music than to turn my old basement rehearsal space into a professional recording environment. Even better than that, what does every major studio lack nowadays, instruments. I’m not talking about a couple of guitars. There is an arsenal of professional, vintage and unique instruments that are all available. I've been able to create with minimal cost for years.

Today was the first of many needed purges of useless audio equipment. I threw out an entire sound system (POS), 2 analog sonic maximizers, a feedback eliminator, a cassette deck, a 10" electro harmonix speaker, a crate of old snake cables, a printer, expansion cards for panasonic plasma TVs (not sure where those came from), a couple of video processors from the 90's, a projector, a video light kit, and so much more. I did this to clear space for the piano that I bought today. Alright, it was a steal ($75). I'll post pictures tomorrow when Hector and his buddy bring it to the studio.

New Release is a re-release with a new cover. I lost the art work from the original from 2002. It features some of my close friends and great musicians. Erik Perez plays drums on the title track. Erik Dunham plays drums on You & Me, Scared, and Mid-day Charm.

A couple of months ago, I was asked by a long time friend to help with a technical issue. Josh was almost finished with his new record, but had an issue loading one song file on his computer. He and I spent an hour on the phone while I remotely accessed his computer to see what, if anything could be done to fix the problem. We finally we able to load a single track from the original file. When we realized that the method selected for recovery would yield a positive result, we hung up the phone. A week later Josh came to the studio to do an impromptu listening session (which turned out to be a couple of impromptu mixing sessions). He played this for me. It's my favorite song on the record.

This is the second amp that I built. This one took me a week. I've refused a few offer for it. I suppose I could build myself another one if I had to.

The combination of classic 18 watt inspired circuit with the warm, dynamic Celestion Greenback Heritage loaded 1x12 open back cabinet delivers the creamy harmonic driven sustain and expressive note articulation that cannot be described....only experienced. Built with the finest components: The Speci...

Depending on how the volume is set, the British channel goes from a perfect Class A, Vox AC 30 Top Boost tones to early Plexiglass Marshall. It just nails the early Peter Green and the "Jes Got Paid", billytone.
