Chris and Kevin in London Here are some of the projects that I have done, along with a listing of clients that I have worked with. I would like to thank the artists and producers for allowing me to post examples of their works that I have had the privilege to record. All audio files are in mp3 format.
RHL Audio Recording with Nuendo
Dead Men's Hollow - Forever True

We recorded most of  Dead Men's Hollow debut CD, "Forever True," at their home in Centreville, Virginia, and mixed it there as well. This collection of "Acoustic Americana" songs about drinkin', lovin' and killin', won the band 3 WAMMIE (Washington Area Music Association) awards including "Best Bluegrass Duo/Group," "Best Bluegrass Recording," and "Best Debut Recording" and has received a lot of radio airplay. Thanks for the nice comments, folks! It is also collecting some very nice reviews! Audio Button

Jody Marshall - Cottage In The Glen

Jody Marshall and I worked on her debut solo recording, "Cottage in the Glen," which was released on the Maggie's Music label (MM232). This enchanting album includes original and traditional music performed on hammered dulcimer and piano, with a host of talented guest artists joining in. It received several WAMA nominations including "Debut Recording of the Year." Neal Walters of Dulcimer Players News wrote in the Spring 2005 issue, "This is superb recording...." Here is a clip of the medley "Three Sisters/Little Martha." Audio Button

Susan Allen performed at Blues Alley in Washington DC, backed by drums, bass, piano, guitar, oboe and 11 string players. The resulting CD, "Susan Allen Sings At Blues Alley," was recorded and mixed entirely in Nuendo. Audio Button

Rude Buddha Star

We did all the Rude Buddha recording and mixing at a home in the "horse and farm country" west of Leesburg, Virginia, and this is a clip from "Underdog." Home cooked meals are great while you work. Thanks for the chile and gumbo! All done in Nuendo. Audio Button

Rude Buddha Star White
