January 2009

Eric is in the final production and mixing stages of Scott Spencer’s project, which is scheduled for official release July 1, 2009. Scott and his vocalist, Ko, have written a beautiful record featuring sophisticated, lovely acoustic guitar compositions and elegant, poetic lyrics. The record also features stellar guest performances by cellist Max Dyer, percussionist Brendan Buckley, multi-instrumentalist Ben Peeler, drummer Matt Johnson, bent-keyboardist Dan Workman, and more. Check back soon for samples.

				Amazon Dart of NYC have released “Freakatorium,” mixed by Eric, a spooky-brilliant CD featuring captivating and haunting songs by singer Dalila Pasotti and guitarist Esko Poldvere, brought to full glory by drummer Matt Johnson and bassist Ivan Evangelista. Watch for a CD-release party somewhere in NYC in the very near future. The CD is available on iTunes and other online outlets. KANUDE has released his eponymous CD, featuring Eric on drums and backing vocals along with an all-star cast of players, including guitarist Billy Harvey, bassist George Reiff, guitarist Eric “Roscoe“ Ambel, and more. Great songs, great players and a fun, interesting record altogether. The CD is available on iTunes and other online outlets. The 71’s have released their new CD, “We Are Locomotive,” a high-energy, hook-laden rock record from a great Houston band. Eric was fortunate enough to be invited to serve as “Tone Chaperone” on the CD by co-producer Josh Moore, helping engineer some great guitar sounds for some great songs. The CD is available on iTunes and other online outlets. Coming soon, other crushpad productions will be available at iTunes, CDBaby.com and other online outlets. These will include releases by Nina Belanger of Los Angeles, Guatemalan singer Gabriela, and an instrumental re-mix record of songs from “Mystic Cowboy” by Austin-based banjo wizard Bobby Earthman. Eric is now honored to serve on the Producers & Engineers Committee for the Recording Academy’s Texas Chapter for 2009. CHECK BACK SOON FOR NEWS UPDATES AND CURRENT PROJECTS.
