This episode of Michael's Mixdown has been awhile in the works. Gabe, front man of the Gabriel Harley Band, and I have been friends for 7 or so years now. Gabe was my first post-college audio connection, and we've worked together on many projects since. I've been Gabe's studio assistant, his pain-in-the-side, and live sound engineer. I've finally gotten the chance to have him on the show, along with the rest of the band, of course! Dave Alexander (lead guitar), Kendall Thomson (bass), and Eric Wood (drums) all sat down with me to discuss the recording of the upcoming album "Beat of a Broken Heart," which releases on November 19th. We cover some of the gigs we've worked on over the years (and let me tell you, some of these stories are quite something), how the album came together, and we even talk about some of Gabe's previous work (with the odd D&D reference thrown in). This is also the most guests I've ever had on the show at once, and it was really quite a thrill to be able to put all this together. It really is a pleasure to know and work with these gentlemen.

It's been awhile since I had my friend Colette on the show, and has she ever been busy! Since we spoke last, she completed her PhD, got married, and has started a career as an audio book director. She also does voice acting, and can make trumpet and loon sounds. Is there anything she can't do? Join us for a peek behind the curtain on how audio books get made, and other goofy things that we discuss along the way.

Russ Castillo: A Life of Music (Pink Floyd, Producer's Workshop)

You folks are in for a treat today! Russ Castillo is a record producer, audio engineer, and former audio professor, as well as my friend for the better part of 10 years. We met when he was invited to be a guest speaker at one of my audio classes in college. It was immediately clear that he'd had a long and storied career in audio in Los Angeles. He worked for Producer's Workshop, which saw many huge bands walk through the door. Russ was close with Pink Floyd during their time making The Wall, and has since worked with other major acts including The Doors, Liberace, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Russ lived in Muncie for a few years, just around the corner from my buddy Steve Robert (see episode 5 for more about Steve), and I got to see him in action once and soaked up as much as I could. Russ is so full of stories, we could probably do several 2 hour episodes, but we'll just start with this one! Thanks again to Russ for taking the time to be on my show, it really means the world to me!
