David Lange Studios

Over the years we've had some good projects that don’t get completed, so it’s always exciting to finish a project that has been waiting in the wings for awhile. Recently, I received a CD from Trish Hatley featuring Trish, Hans, and Phil. I can't pinpoint when we started, but it predates the pandemic considerably. That reminded me of another CD, finalized this year, from Holly Graham. This one I know was started more than 10 years ago and we are delighted to have completed it so it can be released. So a big Thanksgiving congratulations to both of them!

What a nice thing. Alexa Peters did a very flattering piece on Benjamin and Myself for the KNKX connects to Tacoma page. A big thanks to Alexa, KNKX and Big Anschell for the positive support.

David Lange, engineer and owner of Lange Studios, retired in 2021 and passed the torch to his son Ben. It's a new era for the studio, but jazz musicians who've recorded there for decades are excited about it's future.

It's been awhile since we've been to our page. We're staying fairly busy and making a few changes . We have a new name, "Lange Recording Studios". We're also working on quieting our control room by moving most of our computer gear into the adjacent storage room (still a work in progress). We also have a new website. The website was done by Justin Haddock. He did a great job. The website is fast and the sound samples sound good. Not to mention the design and layout are well thought out. Although we show an increase in our price, we encourage all our past clients and those who are considering an extended project to contact us directly for a verbal quote.

Not sure we captured the excitement of mixing The Palace Thieves. This is great music combined with classic studio dining. Libby and Kim are not here because they had some respect for their gastrointestinal system.

Nice to be working with David Lee Joyner. Always amazed at how fast he can write and arrange a great sounding song.Today we did some fixes with Benjamin doing the heavy lifting. Should be getting into some mixing soon.

Still trying to keep our sessions small. Very nice to spend some time with Denise the other day.

Spent a few hours in the studio yesterday. Re-recorded my song “Nothing” in Mandarin (see lyric sheet) and also a new one “Lady Liberty” with lyrics from Emma Lazarus’ 1883 poem “The New Colossus.” A pleasure as always to work with David Lange.

I’ve done 20some CDs with Hank over the years. It was great to see him this past weekend and shoot some video for Sailfest with him. He is a true professional in the world of folk music.
