new album "Jam world cup" released

This site is dedicated to "The Band Spectrum" & Alumni, based in Sacramento CA. performing and recording during the 1980's and 1990's throughout The Western United States and Alaska. Band leader & founder R.I.P. David Repace(photo-center)
         Primarily booked as a Top 40 group that worked 5-6 nights, 45-50  weeks a year, the group continued to record originals and demos routinely, with hopes to land a record deal. The groups temporary manager Marty Hom, added vocal act "Mahogany Dream"  to the billing while Spectrum band members musically backed up the three vocalists. The newly found group    
quickly started opening for established R&B recording artists such as; Kool & The Gang, The Whispers, and  Kenny G., performing original compositions composed by Spectrum's leader Dave Repace. 
        Unable to resolve their differences, Dave Repace of Spectrum adopted lead vocalist Annette Jones from (Mahogany Dream) and continued to perform without Marty Hom's business skills. Mahogany Dream opened auditions for a new 3rd lead vocalist to replace Annette Jones, while manager Marty Hom  moved on to become a 40-year industry veteran, Hom is the longtime tour manager of Barbra Streisand and Fleetwood Mac, and has also worked with Shakira, Bette Midler, Lionel Richie, The Eagles, Alicia Keys, Shania Twain and Janet Jackson. Hom was deposed by AEG as an expert witness in the Michael Jackson wrongful death lawsuit.

Producer,Dj,Audio Engineer,Sound Designer...
I'm fortunate enough to love what I do.

I've been fond of music since early in the school, years later I have collaborated with other professionals and created Omicrone Project.

Next I decided to offer my sound mixing, mastering and producing experience to the folks who need it, and founded OP Masterting. I also offer ghost producing!

At the very beginning it was limited to our offline contacs, but soon after this I have brought OP Mastering on-line, and now everybody can benefit from our competitive services.

I am always happy to help if I can. Let's connect. http://opmastering.com
