Adam Dorenter-recording/production

(this is an original song I wrote and sang, I did the bass parts, and this was for John Shea's and Brendan Ferry's "ernie" band...completed before 2002/2003)

Elephant Shoes

this is an instrumental track I created trying to use 5/4 time signature...the drums by John Shea and guitars by Brendan Ferry

I played the bass guitar parts and composed the music, and I recorded everything using a 16 channel analog mixing board fed into a four track analog cassette recording machine...the track was mastered/converted to digital by Angelo Quaglia.

(this recording was competed before 2002/2003)

Harlem Sunrise

This is an oooold track from a looooong gone 'band'--I wrote and played the bass part for it and did some production work, pre-2002...they called their band “ernie” and they primarily played the tristate area, circa 1992-2002....Brendan Ferry sang and played guitars, John Shea played the drums, and I think Brendan Ferry wrote the lyrics as well as the music.

Songs recorded by Angelo Quaglia?

Sanhedrin Waltz

I wrote the 'music' to this on some guy's keyboard, and came up with the idea of 'Mr. Pibb/Put It In Your Head' from some soda out Midwest--so Brendan Ferry wrote and sang the lyrics to fill it out, this is his band "ernie" again...his friend John Shea played the drums.

Mr. Pibb

this is one song I wrote and sang which came out allright, for this same band that called themselves '"ernie", started by these two guys John Shea and Brendan Ferry...I wrote the music and lyrics to this song and I sang it and played the bass guitar part....Brendan Ferry played guitar/lead guitar and did backup vocals, his friend John Shea did the drums...they named their band "ernie" so this is an album cover idea from Norman Rockwell

They Called Themselves 'Ernie'

All I Know

okay this is still that band “ernie” (John Shea, drums, and Brendan Ferry, lead vocals and lead guitars, in photo)...but I was the primary 'producer' as I recorded this on a four track analog cassette machine with a 'live' 16 track mixing board for reverb and live tracking...once again, the singer/lyricist was Brendan Ferry (in photo), John Shea played the drums, Brendan Ferry and his friend Gerard Glecer played rhythm and lead guitars and wrote the music and lyrics. (but there is a chance that Brendan Ferry’s friend Gerard Glecer wrote all of the music and lyrics) 

anyway….my contributions were 'production' (I recorded this in Brendan Ferry's friend Gerard Glecer's basement) and I just did the bass parts and did the backing vocals and 'produced' the basic tracks on a Tascam fourtrack cassette tape recording machine and Brendan Ferry and his friend John Shea called their band “ernie”

Boogie Nights

This was written and sung by Brendan Ferry for his band “ernie” with his friend John Shea…circa 1992-2002....as usual, I played the bass and did a few backing vocals...drumming by John Shea

Mr. Brown

The music was written by Brendan Ferry (guitars, lead vocals) and the lyrics were written by John Shea (drums)...this was their band “ernie”...

 ....I just played the bass parts and did a little backup vocals, and I was the 'music director' and 'producer' for this track, as I recorded it using a 16 track mixer and Shure microphones into a four track analog cassette system and then mixed it to two track analog cassette format, and their friend Adam Dorenter mastered it (or copied it really) to DAT/digital or Carom format.

God Will Get You By

wrote the music and lyrics for this song and sang lead vocals and played the bass guitar parts...Brendan Ferry (guitar) and John Shea (drums) of their band “ernie” played along...literally...this recording was completed before 2002/2003

...I also was the 'music director/producer' of this track as I recorded at and mixed it on analog cassette format, and their friend Adam Dorenter made a copy onto digital/CDrom or CD formats from my original analog tracking and mixes and performances.

Peace Of Mind

put up some original ‘music things' I was involved with from 1992-2002 on here (performance, production, arrangements--or even wrote) …I try to write a lot in my spare time...started this account after my parents moved out of Demarest, NJ in the 1990s...

I'm starting this profile with 'music stuff' I was trying to do from 1992-2002...I wanted to learn about songwriting and performance and what it was like to work in a 'band' format/setting so I spent the majority of 1992-2002 period (primarily) playing the bass guitar parts for this guy's band which he and his friends called or named "Ernie", and they needed or wanted 'a full time bass player' spot filled, and then someone took photos of me doing bass and backup vocals in Tenafly and Closter (before 2002...none of this stuff is recent) so I tried to create a ‘band’/‘an album’ based on these photos and recordings I made from 1992-2002.
