Hiram in Singapore

Just a quick note to let you know that one of the major players here at Ring Records is in Asia! Hiram Ring recently was accepted to a PhD program in Language Documentation at Nanyang Technological University. It’s a 3-5 year program and he will be studying in Singapore for a year, and then spending a year in northeast India learning an undocumented language, then returning to Singapore to write up a grammar of the language. He’ll be continuing to write (hymns, songs, essays) and possibly record with a studio there, but for now is simply settling in to his new life in Singapore. Your prayers are appreciated.

You can follow some of his adventures by visiting his blog: http://themadafrican.blogspot.com

Forgotten Genre Productions

Tony (Anthony) Guyer is the owner and operator of Forgotten Genre Productions, a skilled recording and mixing engineer with years of experience in live sound and road management. He grew up in the Lancaster area but spent a significant amount of time in Papua New Guinea, where his parents work for Wycliffe Bible Translators.

Early in his life Tony was involved in live sound productions for local Lancaster bands (Rainchildren, Jawbone Hill) and then took a series of jobs working on tours for Nashville-based acts such as The Waiting, The Normals, Big Tent Revival, and Sixpence None the Richer, for whom he worked as Road Manager.

We met Tony when he had moved back to the area and began working with Hiram Ring in 2006 to record an EP. Tony currently records/mixes local musicians/bands, works in pro-audio sales for Guitar Center, and keeps a blog (http://www.forgottengenre.com) where he catalogs and comments on current trends in recording, shares thoughts on culture, and touches on music-related topics. His advice, knowledge and abilities have been invaluable over the last few years.

Profiles
