Jonathan Reid Gealt returned to our NYC headquarters last week with a stellar crew to record keyboard instruments for his upcoming album Archetype! The session was engineered by staff engineer Zach Grappone and featured a group of producers and orchestrators that we were thrilled to have in-studio–as we’ve only previously collaborated with them all remotely–including Stephen Oremus, Joseph Joubert, Michael McElroy, Matt Hinkley, Justin Goldner, and Brian Usifer.

Recording tackled both group vocals and several keyboard instruments, including our Hammond B3 (with an original Leslie amp cabinet) and Wurlitzer, both pictured below, and our Yamaha Grand Piano.

These songs are sounding more and more full and beautiful with each day they approach their finished state. Keep posted for more news about Archetype and an upcoming release date!
