So What Is This "Le Théâtre de Coins", Anyway?

   The section featuring all things music is: "Music & Le Théâtre de Coins"...The Theater of Corners...so I have named my new studio setup on The Pearl...East Pearl Street in Nashua. Why? When in my studio, you have a wonderful view of two corners of main street, arguably in one of the busier spots downtown. I find it incredibly inspiring to my creativity...the sights and sounds and lights and cacophony of the city...albeit a small city, it feels big on my corners. And the "Theater" part? This is a reference to one of the grander ideas I had in my youth, which ultimately became an ill-fated band, but the concept was sound.  Modern music really is all just grand theater after all, isn't it? Very little is just a quartet playing through lead sheets...it is so much more. Multiple elements representative of the particular composition being played...the dance, lighting effects, video, explosions, posing, sweating, flexing, grinding...ALL these...these being representative of the experiences of life...the spectacle...the Theatre...
   I have decided to share this experience with some...in other words, take clients, but on a very limited basis, and even invite others to come record.  Recording & Mastering is, after all, something I have done quite a lot of in the past, and my new little setup is pretty slick.  32 track digital, limitless MIDI tracks, a very groovy MIDI drum kit with some custom "Tim" elements, keyboard controllers, amp modeling...carpeted room with HUGE ceilings that has a quality sound itself...and an inspirational setting with a great coach...
   Here I will post different recordings done in the studio by myself & others, links to local bands I happen upon in my travels, song lyrics I find particularly inspiring, and probably several other music-related things I am not thinking of at the moment. I welcome your thoughts and comments throughout.
