Sunday, January 14, 2007 A Serendipitous Session Recording for Amanda Sena Earlier today I mentioned to someone how it'd be wonderful--and too expensive for me--to record in Studio Chicago, one of the largest recording studios in the city. And then a few hours later, I did. The Music Industry Workshop is a resource center for musicians housed in the same building as the studio; it's the training branch of a facility that's used by major labels for recording the likes of Taj Mahal and the Smashing Pumpkins. I work with the promotional side of that operation and had just stopped by the studio to drop off a few things--and while I was hanging out in the lounge, one of the people playing Guitar Hero on the giant TV turned her head and said, "Dawn?!" It was none other than the amazing Amanda Sena, a fellow singer-songwriter who was there working on some new songs for her next album. We were both excited to see other other since it'd been a couple of months, and she asked me if I wanted to lay down some tracks for her recording--which I thought was a great idea. So a few minutes later, I was sitting at a Yamaha grand piano inside the most beautiful studio I've ever set foot in, listening to one of Amanda's songs on an iPod and creating a piano line. It was the most fun I've had this weekend (and it's been a good weekend), and it definitely made my day. Labels: recording ^ Top | 11:50 PM | | |
