More Recording

Hiram and Matthew Monticchio recently recorded with their friend Dan Kirby for the upcoming album of sacred music tentatively titled ’12 Gates’. This will be the first album of twelve songs intended for churches and individuals to use as a liturgical element throughout the year, based on the ancient church calendar. This album will be available digitally in early 2010. The second album of twelve songs will be titled ’12 Pearls’, and will be released with the first as a physical album of 24 tracks toward the end of 2010. We will keep you posted on developments here – for now you can take a look at the video below for a sneak preview of some of the songs.

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.
