Multi-Part Video Series - Recording "Sacred Love" With Will Ackerman at Imaginary Road Studios

This past April and May I've been recording my new CD, "Sacred Love", with producer Will Ackerman and recording engineer Corin Nelsen, at Imaginary Road Studios in Vermont.

If you are able to get along and are…

Inspiration - Where does it come from?

As I grew up, I always thought inspiration, whether in music or literature, always came from above, like something divine was involved.

Quantize or not quantize? (grooves, humanize, swing)

HI:)
Let's think... Why live execution sounds much better than written down and edited in sequenser? I think that the matter is that numerous frameworks in which we put our musi. Templates, midi grooves. quantize, the fixed rate.... I think all it kills our music....
