Scott Youngs

This afternoon Dan spent time with Scott Youngs from All Saints. Todays tasks involved pulling out sections of video from the Good Friday performance as well as edit a number of tracks for their upcomming CD.

Chaton goes Mobile?

Today Dan was on-location at Scottsdale Center for the Arts, to provide Chaton Studio owner Otto with equipment and support for an acoustic piano project.

Pianist Pnina B. Becher tracked works by Chopin, Debussy, and others for her upcomming CD.

Amazingly, she was able to perform at a skill level not atainable by many.....and she did it for 4 hours. Not an easy or even heard of task. Most musicians tend to wear thin after a significant amount of playing, Pnina on the other hand, seemed as if she were just warming up.
