And here is an article about SmartyPAL from a couple of weeks back.

SmartyPAL in the Philadelphia Inquirer

“SmartyPAL,” a project I worked on with Kartik Hosanagar and his wife, Prasanna Krishnan, had an article written about it in the Philadelphia Inquirer! I did songwriting, arranging, and sound design for the project, a new educational tablet application designed for kids. Voice acting was provided by Jason West and Courtney Cilman. Check it out and please spread the word about this neat new app!

PRC @Cedar Street Studios & More piano tracking @Third Story Recording â™«

Monday night, at Cedar Street Studios we hosted the monthly PRC (Philadelphia Recording Community) meeting. We had a great turnout and spread the word about Box of Stars, an organization that spreads mental health awareness (and reduces stigma) through music. PRC is a fantastic way to participate in and network with people/studios operating in the greater Philadelphia area, and it’s a genuinely nice and very interesting group. And Box of Stars is a fantastic organization in which I hope all of my readers opt to play a part.

This evening, I tracked additional piano for Diandra Gore at Third Story Recording. We recorded parts for an original song. It’s a fun, fast, and funky track.

 

It is such a pleasure and a thrill to be interning at these two fine Philly studios!

 

Stay tuned for more updates on my upcoming EP; bass/guitar/drum tracking are happening next week!

Piano Tracking / Arranging at Third Story Recording â™«

I have had several sessions this summer during which I have collaborated as a songwriter / arranger / performer with Diandra Gore on her upcoming (debut) album. Today we tracked two new original songs; she sang, and I accompanied on piano. Jack Marron tracked drums for songs as well! [We recorded at Third Story Recording.]

Check out my Discography to read more about this and other upcoming recordings in which I have played a part (literally, and figuratively).

Diandra and I are having way too much fun, and she’s got way too much vocal talent, so please stay tuned for announcements regarding her album’s release!
