Erik Bauersfeld, who immortalized 'It's a trap' as Admiral Ackbar in Star Wars, dies at 93. This mix is inspired and a tribute to Erik Bauersfeld/Admiral Ackbar. 

Stop It's A Trap

This was recorded and mixed under 3 hours at my home studio. Wanted a more mellowed down version of the song to fit a more acoustic vibe and yet  with the help of an electric guitar still have that needed drive. I love the original version, it's just that as a musician/arranger I believe it's important to explore other ways to interpret a song. No keyboards were added intentionally to this arrangement, to keep it all guitar driven.

Dance In Freedom (Victory Baguio Evening Team)

We Receive &  Build My Life (Victory Baguio Evening Team)

This track was a collaboration of Victory Baguio's AM Team. All instruments and vox audio tracks were taken from video recordings using smartphones.　The process involved fattening the drum track and  making it stereo as it was original only mono left; syncing the tracks, editing the tempo to alignment for drums would not be possible as it would make it out of sync with the video once incorporated. Since it was all recorded with smartphones, the audio was quite thin so saturation was applied, after all tracks was applied a HPF. Considering this was to be broadcasted in FB wherein the audio would be converted by FB to 192kbps AAC, not much treatment was done for the bass except for some audio splicing for sync purposes, the sound would be expected to be more bassy once broadcasted so the intention was to have a more airy mix. The challenge for the lead vox was that the acoustic guitar and vox was taken at the same time so I had little control to boost that track as any adjustments would follow on the guitar, so I opted for a more acoustic feeling mix and applying best as I can to draw the vocal tracks out without introducing unwanted hiss. After the mix was done I applied my favourite saturation curves and applied dynamic eq and compression to bring the mix a little more up front. Overall, despite none of them using professional mics and an audio interface I was very content with the results, the talents of the AM team played a great part in making a good mix. Enjoyed doing this ver much.

Love Songs for Fools

Hard To Get

Electronica, rock, blues, folk, classical... Emerson grew up listening to 70's and 80's  then 90's radio with a good dose of Classical music. The variety helps this multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter create diversity with each track he makes.
