I've officially sent my Recording hardware off to Black Lion Audio for the final Signature+ modification boosting my Pro Tools LE recording system to a whole new level. For those of you who aren't complete geeks as I may be...this modification will bring my recording abilities beyond the standard professional ProTools HD recording hardware. I'm super pumped and looking to complete a few new songs that I started recording back in the early fall. I may post some demos on myspace, or I may just wait and do a digital release in the near future. As soon as my upgraded rig comes back I'll be getting to work on scoring for the Red Fish Can't Jump documentary while writing the other new material. I'll also be open for recording any local musicians or indy filmers on a budget looking for professional quality sound. For bigger bands with bigger budgets, I have been establishing a good relationship with Northstar Post & Sound over at Screen Gems Film Studio and have access to their awesome Pro Tools HD studio.

A couple shows are coming up this month as well...The first one is this Friday at Holy Grounds Coffee Shop which just opened on Carolina Beach Rd near the Shipyard intersection across from Roses, and the other is a very special event being put on by our local Surfrider Foundation groups. My friends/colleagues that I've been doing video work with regarding plastics in the ocean, BOnnie Monteleone and Keep America Beautiful Director Jennifer O'Keefe will both be speaking and sharing their experiences from 2 months at sea in the North Atlantic and Pacific Gyres followed by a film screening of "Lost Jewel of the Atlantic". Don't forget to check out Rob Machado's premiere of "The Drifter" the night before at Blockade Runner in Wrightsville Beach...
