Our very own Michael Chambers (aka moon:and:6) received the 2011 Studio Engineer of the Year awards at the Hamilton Music Awards.
We’ve had a great year at Catherine North recording and mixing records with Whitehorse, The Coppertone, Ophelia Syndrome, Mike Vial, and more. It feels great to have our work recognized by the music community here in Hamilton.
Congratulations to all the other winners and nominees at this year’s Hamilton Music Awards. Thank you to the organizers and all the volunteers who helped make this year’s event a success.
Mike Vial was back at Catherine North this fall to record a new four song EP. Where the Sand Meets the Tide is now available as a free download from mikevial.com/free.
I had over 100 downloads in the first few hours of my Facebook announcement Tuesday, and I’m excited to get this music out there! —Mike Vial
We’re excited to get this music out there too! Marcone and I had a great time working on this one.
Count to Fire recorded their album In Another Life at Catherine North Studios with Colin Cripps, Michael Chambers (me) and Dan Hosh. “I’m The Man You Need” was my favourite song during the tracking sessions. There was just something about the feel or the melody or the combination that made this track stand out. Enjoy.
Today The Coppertone released the official video for “You’re The One” from the new EP, Hymns for the Hollow. The EP was recorded and mixed here at Catherine North. The MCI JH-24 2-inch analogue tape machine was used again for this record. Recorded at 15-ips (with no noise reduction) the sound is thick and dirty. The EP was engineered and co-produced by moon:and:6.
Whitehorse is Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland’s new musical project. We had the pleasure of working with them recording and mixing the EP here at Catherine North. The EP was mixed by Michael Chambers (credited as moon:and:6). Also, Dan Hosh worked with Luke and Melissa tracking at their home studio. Take a listen to the tracks featured in the trailer for a taste of the record.
Six Shooter Records’ Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet tie the musical knot with the debut of their new band, Whitehorse, marrying their talent and chemistry on stage as an undeniably smoldering duo.
Individually, they have been recognized with awards and nominations from the Juno Awards, the Canadian Folk Music Awards, the Hamilton Music Awards, the Independent Music Awards and the Polaris Prize.
