November 2009: Safire recorded a new version of "This is It", the song written by Michael Jackson and Paul Anka which she originally recorded with Michael's blessing in the late 80's. Angelo co-produced the new version with Kenny Diaz and performed piano, guitar and arranged the song.

October 2009: We're finally doing sessions! Our first official session was with Rochelle Small, opera singer, who recorded 5 arias with live piano on our Yamaha Grand. The our Royer tube ribbon mic on her voice and a pair of vintage Neumann KM-54's the sound was incredible. Thanks, Rochelle, it was great to hear 5 arias in our room!

September 2009: We are nearing completion of our new location and are very excited!  We’ve done extensive renovations to every room in the facility which include acoustic enhancement, adding our own 50 amp balanced power system and dedicated ground, Ethernet everywhere for networking, and of course making it look very cool!  See our “before” and “after” photos for more on this.

July 2009: We spent 2 weeks recording tracks and doing rough mixes for a great music talent which at this time has to remain unknown ; We were working with producer James Porter for this upcoming album.  This is a very exciting project and we are thrilled to be a part of it - more to come on this.

Frank Comentale, legendary studio designer (Hit Factory, Chung King, Wycleff Jean, P Diddy) has added huge custom built diffusing panels to the live room.  The room sounds amazing now.

February 2009: Leaving Manhattan after 17 years for Brooklyn.  Although Manhattan is still a great place to see live acts, the musicians have mostly moved out of town.  The creative hub is now in Brooklyn (around Williamsburg and further east).  Much of our gear is going into storage until we find a new studio.  I’ve set up temporary space on 37th St (still Manhattan for now) to mix some projects until we can find a permanent home for the studio.
