I haven’t talked much about my past life as a recording engineer/producer on this blog. That’s probably because I haven’t recorded much over the past year and a half. But, I’ll be heading back into the studio soon to finish Matt’s record which has been at least 7 years in the making!

My good friend, Matt is an amazing songwriter. He and I played in a band together with Jim in high school, covering Replacements and Husker Du songs alongside originals. Around 2001, when we were back at the Longhouse Recording Studio in Porter Sq. Cambridge, he and I recorded basic tracks for his album with amazing local musicians Steve Scully and Joe McMahon. 6 years later we’re still working on the record and we hope to finish it soon.

Here’s a track for the record that Matt and I have been working on:

“The New Math“, by Matt Smith. Steve Scully, drums; Joe McMahon, bass; Matt Smith, vocals, piano, keys; Colin Rhinesmith, engineer/producer, arranging.
