Podcast appearances and mentions of eric boulanger

Yo what's up this is toru and in a way so are you.For those of you who don't know me, I'm a music producer, artist, and entrepreneur.I make music for that space between the dance floor and the bedroom, which has been streamed millions of times and licensed by brands big and small, including companies like Apple.I believe that regardless of what you produce, whether it be music, art, physical goods, or even spreadsheets, you have a process, whether you know it or not.To explore this further, I created The ProducerHead Podcast.ProducerHead is a place to have conversations with Producers about their experience and process to share what works and what doesn't. To help each of us learn and improve our own processes along the way.Today's guest is Eric Boulanger, a professional mastering engineer and founder of The Bakery, a Los Angeles-based mastering studio.Eric has mastered GRAMMY-award winning and nominated projects, including work with Green Day, Hozier, Selena Gomez, The Doors...and the list goes on.I won't spoil the surprise, but Eric even had the chance to re-master a beloved childhood record.If that weren't enough,Eric was mentored by industry legend Al Schmitt, who, if you don't already know, won GRAMMYs for projects that include:George Benson's Breezin',Toto's Toto IV,Qunicy Jones' Q's Jook Joint,Luis Miguel's Amarte Es Un Placer,Ray Charles Genius Loves Company,Chick Corea's The Ultimate Adventure, andSteely Dan's Aja.I mean. That is a list. And, for the record that is not a complete list.In this conversation we dive into   - Learning to trust your own ears and preferences.   - His take on digital v. analog gear in creating quality music.   - How knowledge of mastering can influence your production and mixing work.   - Some of his favorite tools and plug-ins   - Selecting reference tracks for your own mixes and masters.   - His experience as a musician and its ongoing role in his life and career.   - The importance of resting your ears outside of work.   What I really appreciate about Eric and this conversation is what seems to be a strongly held belief to not offer shortcuts and tactics. Instead, Eric presents questions that encourage us to think and further develop our own working philosophies as well as our ears. I'm stoked to share this episode with you. It is full of gems.Alright, here we go, Episode 7 of ProducerHead with Eric Boulanger, starts now.That's it for this episode of ProducerHead. Appreciate you coming through and being a part of it.

Americana singer/songwriter Jesse Lynn Madera blends her country/soul infused music with her poetic words of wisdom. The Nashville based musician is hoping to catch the attention of country, soul, and jazz loving individuals around the globe with her upcoming album, "Fortunes," which is now available for pre-order and will be officially released on Friday, April 24th. Here's a link to the Spotify pre-order: https://bit.ly/3bnIy1K. The album features a duet with critically acclaimed actor John Hawkes and Australian-born, LA-based singer/songwriter Joel Taylor. Madera produced a bulk of the the album herself, with some help from Paul Redel (mixing on Leslie Odom's recent album and engineered the 2017 ZZ Ward album), mixing by Ryan Hewitt (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Sheryl Crow), mastered by Eric Boulanger of The Bakery Studios (Hozier, Randy Newman, Harry Connick, Jr, Rufus Wainwright, Neil Young) and featuring incredible strings by Stevie Blacke (Pink, Chris Stapleton, Rihanna). Hailing from the rolling hills of West Virginia, Madera's love for music grew out of a family affinity for all things harmonious. With household gatherings often centering around song and expression, her unique musical upbringing aided in driving her passion for performance. Mentored in piano by renowned father of Rock 'n' Roll,Johnnie ("B. Goode") Johnson, Madera takes pride in the instrument having remained a constant in her journey as an artist and in her music. The stunning creative tookup a fascination with poetry around the same time, and it is this love for the written word which led her first to theater and then to music. Championed by husband and versatile actor Hemky Madera ("Queen of the South"), Jesse's charismatic songs have attracted a diverse group of people who continue to seek music from the up-and-coming artist. With tracks smoothly intertwining the deep emotion of jazz with the cool, humble songwriting of American soul, Jesse's folk-tinged country melodies in "Fortunes" stand as an impressive addition to a profoundly eloquent musical catalogue. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Calling Todd Kessler a singer/songwriter simply wouldn’t do him justice. The rising folk-rock star is the consummate storyteller, with a remarkable ability to take listeners on a winding, wonderful, and introspective journey through the depths of the human experience. Kessler’s highly anticipated new album, About Memory, was released on November 3, 2017. The album finds Kessler going back to his roots, producing a timeless folk sound with hints of alt-rock and classic Americana.Recorded in Los Angeles at New Monkey Studio (made famous by Elliot Smith), About Memory was produced by Marc Daniel Nelson (Fleetwood Mac, Colbie Caillat) and Ran Jackson (Katy Perry, Goo Goo Dolls) and mastered by Eric Boulanger, who has worked with industry titans like Adele, Green Day, and Neil Young. “When a songwriter can tell a story that is specific to them, yet allows the listener to hear him or herself in it, that’s the pinnacle for me,” shares Kessler. To date, Kessler has released two singles from About Memory: “Old Fashioned Way” and “The Letter.” Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, Kessler graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in Music Theory and Composition. Shortly after graduating, he released his first LP, We Are the Musicmakers. In 2012, Kessler formed Todd Kessler and The New Folk, and they released their first album, Sea Fever, which was produced by Manny Sanchez (Patrick Stump, Umphrees McGee). The album’s release was supported with a lengthy residency at Schubas Tavern, but as it happened, Kessler missed part of the residency when he was chosen as part of Team Ceelo on NBC’s The Voice. Gaining exposure from The Voice, Todd Kessler and the New Folk began touring more, playing festivals like Summerfest, Taste of Chicago and Mile of Music. Between 2013 and 2015, the band worked on new material and released two singles: “Exactly Where I Should Be” and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” But, as members of the New Folk began getting married and having children, life on the road became arduous. Eventually, the New Folk agreed to a break, disbanding indefinitely to spend time with their families. Influenced by artists like Paul Simon, Fleetwood Mac, Ryan Adams and David Gray, Kessler continues to evolve into the bold storyteller he’s always wanted to be.“I like to call myself a realistic optimist,” says Kessler. “I will always tend to see the bright side of things but don’t shy away when things get real.” Radio One Chicago airs live every Thursday night from 6p to 8p cst on 88.7f, wluw.org
