Canadian glam rock artist Ensign Broderick has dropped five albums in 2018, and I have small contributions on three of them. He’s based in Toronto and largely recorded there, but we recorded some string orchestrations for a handful of songs at Capitol Records. He has been slowly building his catalogue since we first collaborated in 2015, and now he’s putting it all out at once to make a big splash. All of the albums are on the Toronto-based label Six Shooter Records. Amritha Vaz was the lead orchestrator. I did some additional orchestration and was the music copyist for the recording sessions. Peter Rotter, the head of Encompass Music Partners, was our music contractor for the sessions.
Recording at United Recording (Ocean Way)
Amritha Vaz is a composer for film and television and multi-instrumentalist. Today we were at United Recording (previously JJ Puig’s room at Ocean Way) recording my orchestrations of her arrangents. We were tracking for two different album projects, one by Ensign Broderick and another by Lisa Cuthill. We had a spectacular union orchestra contracted by Peter Rotter, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Both albums are slated to be released in late 2015.
