MINDSPEAK & Jeremy dePrisco



		Production & Recording I have been recording in a number of formats for over 15 years. Most of my recording is for my own album production, but I enjoy the challenge of recording other artists from time to time. Below are some projects I've worked on, and you can also check out my recording philosophy and studio specs.

One of the more unique experiences I've had lately is doing some work with a local gentleman who is doing some work to preserve public memory of WWII. Read all about it here.

		Voice Overs - With Audra's talented voice (based on years of training and theatre), we can also offer professional voice overs for web sites, multimedia, training and video production. Our most recent client was Geisinger Health System. MyGeisinger Geisinger Connect

		Foley & Location Recording - Over the years I've enjoyed experimenting with various found objects and have amassed quite a library of strange sounds. I can also produce sounds as needed. Here is an interesting experiment used on my album Immaculate Misconceptions: The dePrisco Gamelan

		(Photo: Jeremy dePrisco) Bloom Consort is a Medieval/Rennaissance choral group who perform on period instruments and in period dress int he Bloomsburg area. They performed at St. John's Episcopal Church in Bloomsburg, PA. The live program was recorded direct to DAT with two condenser mikes. No effects were used in the final mastering, in order to keep the natural feel of this great sounding church.

Occasionally we collaborate on projects such as Moonlight Masala and support each other for local gigs. I went to his home in Danville to record some piano tracks for his albums "City In A Fence" (CK2 , Evening , Canon in D Majorly , Living Room) and "hen na tanuki" (Miss Abeyama). For more about Tom, visit his page.
