Ken speaks about recording “From A Distance”

I found another blog written by Ken that didn’t get posted. Ken speaks about recording his new album after fifteen years. /Tony

KEN TOBIAS - BLOG - October 29, 2007

Well, it’s been about fifteen years since my last studio album but better late then never as they say. I just got that rush again which inspired me to want to put out some new music.

I've recorded all over the world Los Angeles, New York, London, Rome, Toronto and other places, but as one of my songs says “sooner or later the road leads you back home”. And in this case home is Saint John, New Brunswick where I just recorded my new set of songs. It is all pretty exciting.

I used musicians and background singers from my home town and the sessions were great. By recording here in Saint John, Canada’s oldest city, I am trying to do my bit to help grow the local music scene. By recording here, it is my hope that we will encourage others to gain confidence in the local studios and musicians and invest their money in the local music community.

We recorded and mixed live tracks at Fluid Audio Studios, in a special all wood room, and sweetened them with some overdubs. The studio is located on Charlotte Street in the heart of the city. I've been doing remixes at my home studio, putting in long hours but I want the music to be just right. Once it goes through the final mastering process maybe we'll post a song teaser for you to hear. Later - Ken.
