Happy New Year!

Posted on December 31, 2011 by Richard

It’s been a crazy year for me, full of endings and new beginnings.

In January, Traded to Racine played our final show in front of all our friends alongside Joan of Arc. The first few months of the year were some of the busiest and most fulfilling I had at my studio in Florida, Contrast Recording. In May, I finished the final mixes for Climb the Bell Tower‘s Separation EP and began the difficult task of moving my equipment out of and demolishing Contrast Recording in preparation for my move to Athens, GA.

June through August were spent getting situated in Athens. Patrick Ferguson gave me the opportunity to start helping out at Studio 1093 in August while tracking Easter Island‘s new record. That project is nearing completion and will be released in 2012. Ponderosa also spent some time tracking at 1093 back in September.

This past month, Patrick and I mixed a full-length titled “Broken-Hearted Dance” at 1093 for a great band called Mr. Mustache. I’m very proud of the work we did on that record and I can’t wait to see what these guys get up to in the future.

January is promising to be my busiest month to date and I’m very grateful for that. I’ve got a number of mixing jobs to get started on, beginning with a full-length for FL band Fero Lux. There’s a lot I’d like to post about, but I’m not able to just yet so you’ll just have to check back in the new year.

Thank you everyone for your support, here’s to another great year!
