Current projects in the works include the following:
May 2oo8
Time for what's becoming a trend - another half-year update! It's been a crazy time...
Two Sticks Audio has been cruising along. I completed tracking for Only Human's new disc there and mixed it at my place.
I also tracked Ian McFeron's new project there. We'll be finishing overdubs this summer when he and the band are back from tour and then mixing it at my place.
I tracked and mixed Matt Cameron of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden with his ass kicking jazz/groove/fusion trio, Harrybu McCage, for their debut release. Mastering was loving handled by John McCaig at panicStudios.
Camille Bloom has a DVD coming out from a performance at the Columbia City Theater here in Seattle. I mixed that and John mastered, once again.
I tracked basics for Bremerton-based, Alligators at Two Sticks. They are working on vocals and overdubs on their own and will be returning for mixing next month.
In February, I had the pleasure of tracking a record at Chroma Sound on their wonderful Trident 80B. The project was The Humans, featuring Bill Rieflin, Toyah Willcox and Chris Wong. The plan is to mix later this year when Bill is back from the REM tour and Toya and Chris can come back from England. Amazing music!
I spent a day at my place with Hector Zazou and Bill Rieflin tracking drums and noises for Hector's upcoming release.
November 2oo7
Although it may seem like I've dropped off the face of the earth because it now takes me six months to update this page, nothing could be further from the truth. Busy is the name of the game!
Since the last update, so much has happened - I'll try to remember it all!
I've been helping put Jason McGerr's new studio, Two Sticks Audio, together, and producing a number of sessions there in between massive wiring/console refurb parties and Death Cab sessions. I'll be handling studio management and booking, so contact me about getting some time in there!
Sessions I've done at TSA include the debut from Monsters of the Deep, Matt Jorgensen's 451 jazz quartet, The Long Winters, and solo work by Matt Cameron of Pearl Jam.
Also recently completed are the new Symon Asher disc, the fabulous Celtic punk of Ockham's Razor, mixing six songs on the new record from Adam Smith and Your Invisible Hands, and recording and mixing the new Conservative Dad EP.
I've been in pre-production with Seattle metal band Only Human and will be tracking their new disc at TSA in December. James Murphy of Testament (among others) will be mixing.
I've been mixing both the debut CD and a soundtrack composed by mysterious ambient electronic artist, Minor.
Earlier this year (I need to keep up with these updates better...), I finished mixing (and playing drums) on the debut disc from Ember After, a goth-industrial outfit led by OC resident Orren Merton and featuring an online cast of many!
Work also continues on the debut CD from singer/songwriter, Joni Wilm.
I think that's all for now!
March 2oo7
A new equipment acquisition at Casa Del Gunn is a Rupert Neve Designs 5043 Portico compresser. It really is all that and a bag of chips. :-)
February 2oo7 - Well, it's been a million and a half years since I updated this page! The last year has been non-stop and nuts, but only in a good way! Lots of projects started and finished and I'm looking forward to an even busier '07. Here's a quick rundown of projects recently finished and some that are still underway:
Iris I - Six-song EP currently in production; guitar, bass and drums are done - vocals to follow soon! Lots of odd-time, prog goodness!
Symon Asher - Tracked guitar, bass and drums for 10 songs at Litho in November; vocals and guitar overdubs for four songs are complete and mostly mixed!
Ian McFeron - Recorded and mixed his new release, Let It Ride which, again, was mastered at RFI by Ed Brooks in January.
Aaron English - Recorded and mixed Aaron's magnum opus between May and November. This is a huge, sweeping epic of an album; mastered with Ed at RFI in December.
Scarlet Room - Recorded and mixed a second EP with the band; guess what? Yeah, we mastered with Ed!
Francis Nash - Hit Litho for a weekend in the summer to track basics for a new CD; vocals are still underway at my place.
I also took the plunge and joined the 21st century with a myspace page (oh, the peer pressure!) - http://www.myspace.com/dongunnmusic
I promise to try and be more timely with the updates...
