Wireless Music Distribution Going Global!!!!

Approved today as Verizon vSource media supplier. Great chance to get labels songs out to market as cell phone ringtones.

This will:

1. Bring valuable exposure to artists on label
2. Earn artists income
3. Add to Liquid Fusion,Inc's growth and media vision!!!!

Lots of potential here!!!

1965 J45 Gibson Acoustic Guitar

I love this beauty!!!! The Em is rich and the sound brilliant. Harmonics are awesome. This guitar is meant to be played and rocked. Need to put this baby here to bless this place with real rock greatness.

Reshuffling the Deck

Summer NYC. It's a challenge to live here if you're an Artist / Musician trying to do creative work and still keep a roof over your head.

Just finished remixing two songs on our latest Blues CD, along with adding guitars and hand carving the wave amplitude for a singer with a great Country Blues song. Saw I had to pay rent and bills for two months!! What a surprise - getting wrapped up in music production and mastering while recovering myself from an earlier operation.... reality crashes in when you least expect it!

Talked with bands / Artists on Liquid Fusion (R) Records: told them due to deadlines and limited cash, we will release the above CD in September 2009; however, we have great songs and energy. We need to seriously pursue successful placement of our songs into films - such as indie films with Lion's Gate Entertainment and Sundance Film Festival entries.

We need to meet and get to know music supervisors who need great rock / blues / acoustic / country / R&B / funk / acoustic - and let them know they'll be dealing with a label with artists ready to move forward fast with all in order regarding permissions for licensing.

Bands to watch:

Sean Yox - making history gigging in Europe since April 2009. He's played in London, Germany, France, Italy, Belgrade, and soon Greece. He's been interviewed on German TV several times. What a great rock star!!!

The Kitchen - has NYC soul and edge captured in an explosive set that makes you realise good rock never went away - it's very much alive and kicking in The Kitchen!!! Miss this band at your own peril!!

The Liquid Fusion (R) Band - myself on guitar / bass, plus all the musicians I can steal away from the Kitchen and The Streamers!!! What's family for? We've had several rehearsals in late April 2009 that included the amazing bass playing of Devan Carter - brother of drummer / keyboardist, Kent Carter. Add in Bobbo Glaze (Electric Lead Guitar / The Kitchen), Brewer Shettles (Keith Richards / Stones "Double-Stop" Tele Guitar), and you have a rock instrumental band that guarantees you get up and move!!! Upbeat blues energy is what this band is all about. Love of life!!! We make people dance!!

Still waiting word on opportunity to gig from Mercury Lounge for all bands in one night. Stay tuned!! It will be a fun show!!

Angel investors are welcome - who think long-term and can match our vision of integrating film / music / clothing - cross-collateralizing talents into many profit centers.

Our motto: good energy coming together:

Liquid Fusion (R) Records
Liquid Fusion (R) Videos / Films
Liquid Fusion (R) American Clothing - TShirts
Liquid Fusion (R) Studios - commercial music production

We remain strong. Every No is one step closer to Yes.

We look forward to rocking your world and bringing you great refreshing talent and entertainment in the days ahead. Stop by the label and listen to some songs.
See you there.

Tweaking Mixes - May 2009

Getting final mixes polished for release to iTunes.

Made a great "Nirvana" (guitars hard L/R) type mix of Nighttime Blues.

This blues / rock instrumental has a "Woodstock blues" feel and features Sean Yox on acoustic guitars and bass, with Brewer Shettles playing: electic guitars (through an origianal 1965 Vox Wah) / LP conga / and percussion. Put writers / guitarists / producers to work!!! Make them play!! :)

Playing this mix on the street - Good response. People like the blues guitars.

Listen to Nighttime Blues on the Flash Music Player / Main site:
Liquid Fusion (R) NYC Blues CD Vol II.

Love doing this. Making great energy. Working with Artists and pushing them to the next level. Working with an Artist that is practiced / good to go - it's really fun and exciting!!

This is the attitude I try initially to bring to the studio:

- Be relaxed
- Spontaneous
- Feel out the situation
- Take it easy

What I go for:

Einstein's Leap of Faith: We can proceed only so far upon what we know and can prove. There comes a point, call it intuition, or what you will, where the mind takes a leap and comes out upon a higher level, but can never prove how it got there. All great discoveries involve such a "Leap of Faith."

What I demand:

"Blood out of Stone" from Artists. Not perfection. "Leap of Faith." Not autotune. Rehearsal already done. Ready to record. Go with 1st take!!!

My favorite complaint from Artists about playing live:

"Now I have to sound as good as the CD!!"

My reply:

"No. Better!!"

April 2009

Into the year!! Rehearsing new artists. Writing. Getting guitar chops up to speed.

Had surgery / now feeling great!!

Special thanks to DeeDee Acquisto / Erica at the NY Grammy Music Cares; Wendy Oxenhorn / Jazz Foundation; Dr. Scot Belsley and the great medical team at St.Luke's Hospital on 59th street 10th avenue NYNY. If you ever have to have surgery, this is the place to go!!

Music Cares is wonderful for helping me during this time. Grammy Music Cares is a good cause that helps out music producers when they are setback by life events.

I'm very grateful to everyone for helping me through this tough time to get back on my feet!!

Artist Sean Yox is busy gigging in Germany!! Latest word is he's on German TV playing out in the city square:
