"Sound is a matter of tubes and shapes and the placing of wood and sometimes it works just right." -Andy Pratt

Gary Geiserman

Gary produced New Metaphysics, a live performance radio program on WZBC-FM for eleven years. "NM" is a bizarre life-long sonic journey simultaneously cruising through pop culture (the Profane) and indefinable "Sacred" dimensions. New Metaphysics is best enjoyed, and the most benefit is derived, by listening during R.E.M sleep, but listen. Listen wide-awake if you must. You can hear New Metaphysics now, through enormous and crude binary tubes: NewMetaphysics.Com

John Grebe

John's been Host and Executive Producer of his Sounds of Dissent program for many years. It airs Saturdays on WZBC-FM

I took this photo as we prepared John's gear for a trip to Gaza. Among many other adventures, John interviewed Mordechai Vinunu, the man who let the world know Israel has nukes.

Ian MacKinnon

Ian Maxwell MacKinnon is a former Cambridge City Council Candidate.

His "Elect Better Actors" manifesto argues that theater and politics are married and can't be divorced, so we might as well work on the marriage.  He was once arrested for wearing a Ronald Reagan hand puppet in the fly of his pants.  (Case dismissed!)

We're working on a secret project destined to end tyranny, abolish inequity and smash the matrix.

Aldo Tambellini

Aldo and his Producer, Anna Salamone, came to the studio to record some poems from his new book, 12 Poems from voicesinwartime.org. We produced the recordings for his award-winning video. More info on our News page.

Tony Van Der Meer

Video: "Tony V" speaking at the Katrina Rally in Roxbury!

Professor Van Der Meer dropped in to edit a recording of his own using Audacity, a popular open-source cross-platform audio application.

I recorded Tony's frame-up defense fundraiser, too. (Articles: Phoenix, Commondreams, Charges Dropped: 1, 2)

Firooz Sorkhabi

Firooz teaches flamenco guitar in the Boston area. He was here recording a set of music for a Boston cable TV program.

Whitecap

Throughout the 70's, my brother, Doug, performed with Whitecap as they toured New England, playing rock, pop and lots of Allman Brothers material.

Though they actually haven't been here, I grew up with this band. Pool parties, home-grown chocolate zucchini cake and mama's twenty-eight cheese lasagna. Marshall, Fender Rhodes, JBL, stuff like that.

Doug studied at Berklee with Alan Dawson, and toured with Gary Lewis and the Playboys. I met Gary "Lewis" Levitch and the crew at a show in Pueblo Colorado the same year they played Gary's father (Jerry Lewis') MD Telethon. Doug was also session drummer for Geffen Records and his work appears on a few records.

Bruce Marshall

Bruce Marshall has earned a well deserved reputation for delivering clean and soulful blues performances, whether solo, lead or side. He's worked with James Montgomery, the Johnny Winter group and B.B. King, and opened for Boz Skaggs, among others.

I recorded Whitecap shows. Last time, I just stuck an MD recorder up in the rafters. This time, we used a ProTools 8-channel box on-location.

Thomas Boretos

Tom passed away in February 2005, leaving our project unfinished.

We were planning a reworking of his previous recording, "Sunday With Astrid," a set of original songs in the bossa nova style.

Thomas was a Southern California native living in Western Mass. We met at a national ANSWER convention in New York. (We all slept in the "bolshevik" accomodations in a basement near Times Square.) Tom was most amusing. I invited him over to do impressions on a political satire project. I discovered he also writes and performs.
