We had an amazing time with the .ii crew this winter.
Fortunate to have these guys in a few times for their yearly recording hangs. Lots of cool stuff going on here. Made great use of the vibraphone too. Go check out their albums!

Huron high symphony band. Pretty crazy having a 64-piece orchestra in. Definitely limited on space for microphones but we pulled it off. This is a project Ben and Robert have been dreaming up for quite some time. Stoked to see it come together 🎶

Throwing it back to 2017/18. Hyms of the Huron was one of the first projects Ben Lorenz got to dig into as a producer here at Willis. Perhaps the first records we tackled as a team. So many great songs on this record.

Hot release alert 🚨 completion of Giacomo Puccini's 'Turandot' is out on all platforms.
We got to record soprano part here at Willis. Yuma Kagiyama will be skating his free skate to it at the Winter Olympics in Milan. Honored to be a part of such a magnificent piece.
