How we made "Sentimental" - debut record

 

July 19th 2010 - THE GRAPE ROOM,  Philadelphia

Record Release Party of

Glen Landing's debut album "Sentimental"

After considering many different studios to work in, GL chose Target Studios with Marc Moss. Most of the tracking for the record took place in, “The Baby Grand Theatre,” at the Grand Opera House in downtown Wilmington Delaware.

Recording in such a large room, GL with the help of Chuck were able to achieve a big open sound in which they were looking for.  All of Ania’s piano tracks were played on a few different acoustic pianos, which was important to her for she hadn’t played an electric piano until she first came to the United States in 2004.

  The vocals for the record were done at “Musically Speaking Studios,” in Blackwood, New Jersey with Steven Childs.

During the procces of making this record the band of four, soon became three. The bass player Brenda Stetzer departed the band, for she was now a mother to be. Pushing forward, minus a bass player, Glen Landing continued working on schedule to release “Sentimental.”

At this point Chuck took over the bass duties, also Jay Smiles and Gary Jackson (The Movement / The Smiles Project), adding bass and percussion tracks, finalizing the last tracks to finish the record.

After the tracks were all in, Marc Moss started the mixing process with Dan at his side for every move. With all happy with the mixes, Marc did the mastering of the record as the band started work on the artwork.

 

Pressed and sealed, with this band stronger now with three, present you with a record promising to leave your senses satisfied by the sonically charged mixture of raw vocals and guitars, loud pumping drums, and the intricate layering of beautiful piano melodies.

And... we will continue to ROCK ON!!!!
