Why do artists release their work as albums? What’s the process behind creating an album with or without a record label? How do recording projects come to fruition? Find out on February 2nd!
Ensemble members Jacob Greenberg and Wendy Richman join Audio Engineer Ryan Streber (Oktaven Audio) for a deep dive into the process behind creating an album. Learn more about Wendy’s journey in creating her debut album “vox/viola” focused on commissioned works for solo viola/voice and Nate Wooley and Ash Fure’s thinking behind their newest release with the Ensemble, “Something to Hunt.” Jacob takes us through the producing magic behind the Ensemble’s in-house TUNDRA label (an imprint of New Focus Recordings). The stream will conclude with a mini-documentary about Oktaven Audio, a haven for recording new music. Interested in releasing your own album? After the stream, we will have a conversation over Zoom about releasing on a label vs. independently.
