On June 29 2010, Concord Records is releasing Kenny G’s 13th studio album. Walter Afanasieff produced the album, I programmed the tracks (official credit reads: Additional Production, Programming, Keyboards & Engineering) and co-wrote one as well. Mick Guzauski mixed. But perhaps my favorite part was doing the track that Robin Thicke sang on, entitled ‘Fall Again’. Check it out at Concord Records. I also got a pretty sweet shoutout..!
“Thanks for recording these tracks so well!! And Adrian, thanks for all the
hip sounds and cool parts. You made my music much better!”
Just got back the master for Canadian JUNO award-winning singer/songwriter Amanda Falk. We spent time over the past year putting this album together and I’m really happy with it. We were fortunate enough to be able to work with some of my good friends, Will Sayles, Matt Pierson, and Gary Burnette on this project, and worked at a beautiful studio in Tennessee (Dark Horse). Our goal was to capture as much of Amanda’s identity on this album as we could, and I’m thankful to her label Signpost Music for allowing us to pretty much do whatever we wanted (what a treat!). I’m posting below one of my favorite songs from the album (Paper Planes). And please do check out Amanda’s myspace: http://myspace.com/amandafalkmusic

I’m sitting on the couch of Dave Pensado’s studio as he’s mixing a track Walter Afanasieff and I produced together. It’s crazy to hear what someone like that can do with your work.. And it seems like a fitting close to a crazy year. I’ve completed the move to LA at Walter’s gracious invitation, built a studio here, and have settled into a groove.. It’s been a year I might only have dreamed about a decade ago; working with various artists that I have grown up being fans of, as well as balancing my own projects from my own network. Over this past year we have had such talented people come through the door and grace us with their presence, from Darren Hayes, to Westlife, Josh Groban, Leona Lewis and Kenny G. As well, I got to make a record with Canadian artist and JUNO-winner Amanda Falk (just finished production), do some work with my ex-bandmates Starfield, a few songs with undeniably gifted writer/performer Greg Sczebel and of course on-going work with singer-songwriter Diana Pops, not to mention starting the year with a tour with Mat Kearney and Keane. Can’t wait to see what 2010 holds! Here we go..
Merry Christmas from Jodi King, Marc Ross, and myself! Written by Jodi and Marc, we did this song at my new room in LA, following in Jodi’s tradition of doing a free Christmas song download each year. Check it out!
Greg Sczebel’s second album “Love & The Lack Thereof” is just released. Check it out on iTunes! We had a great time at his studio in Vancouver I believe almost a year ago where we worked together on ‘Commotion’, ‘How Am I Supposed To Breathe’, Every Word You Say, and my personal favorite, ‘I’ve Got That Feeling’.
Just finished a week of tracking for Amanda Falk’s new album. It was a great week. I’m so happy with the work we did, and I can’t wait to finish this record.. I am really excited about it.. Thanks to Will Sayles, Matt Pierson, Gary Burnette and Chris Yeager. Now the work begins for me.. sifting through what we’ve recorded, editing.. more guitar overdubs, pianos, vocals.. I love my job.. ;-)
Well, we’re starting to get ready to move to LA. Again, for those of my friends who may already know, I’ve been fortunate to be taken on by a very talented writer / producer by the name of Walter Afanasieff.. he’s brought me to LA and on with him to work together doing programming, production and writing. And it’s been a lot of fun. I’ve cut together a quick video of some of the things we’ve been up to.. I’m not so good with remembering to bring out the flip camera, though.. so the footage has been slim pickings. But you’ll get the idea. Tomorrow morning I’m off to LA again to work together for a few days, then off to Nashville for a week of tracking at Dark Horse studio for the record of a good friend named Amanda Falk. I’l try to keep up with the updates more regularly. Thanks!
Well, I just wrapped up a 3 week tour with Keane and Mat Kearney. We had a blast, beginning in LA and wrapping up at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. I’d like to say I made new friends, and had an overall great experience. It started off challenging; it had been a while since we’d done shows together, and never with the group we had, but it tightened up quickly and I was quite proud of where we ended up. It’s always funny being on tour, hurtling across the planet in a steel tube with wheels.. 10 people living on a 40 foot long bus, the only privacy being that of your coffin-like bunk, but at the same time there’s such a feeling of freedom as you see different cities, meet different people, eat fantastic food, and most of all, get to make music every night for a living. What a blessing.. !! Sure did feel good to get back home, though. And after a week of recuperating, I’m off to LA. There’s lots of stuff lined up that I’m very excited about, but I will post about that as we go. I also bought a flip HD camera (yes, again, late to the party!) and with it I will attempt to make video blog posts.. not that I am under any illusion that these will be particularly interesting; it just seems like a good thing to do. And, off to pack up my gear for yet another flight..
