Hot off the press! I just got a copy of the tracks I recorded for Arizona based singer/songwriter Andrea Torzala. The tracks were for her debut EP entitled, How Do I Forget. The songs turned out great and it was a real pleasure working with Andrea and co producer Ryan Brehm. All the bass work was recorded in my home studio in Brooklyn and sent to Ryan’s Studio in Scottsdale, AZ via the net. I used my Fender TBP-1 and P-bass for most of the tracks, but also got a chance to bust out some fretless bass and solo on the track Rain Man.
