Groove Tonic Media mastered the CD “Live at Blackhawk” by Lady K and The Kings of Swing. This was an intriguing project because the music was recorded in two different locations, and mixed by two different engineers – a case where careful mastering was required to make the CD sound consistent, and to merge all the tunes into one performance. It sounds great.

Website design: Lady K and The Kings of Swing
Groove Tonic Media completed design on a new website for Lady K and The Kings of Swing. This was fun because the idea was to create a site that looked much like the CD package. As we’ve been doing with most sites lately, it is constructed on a powerful web-based platform that is easy for the client to maintain.

Website design: Times 4
Groove Tonic Media completed work on the new website for Times 4. This one was personally exciting for me, as I’m a member of this band. The challenge was to update the site using artwork from the upcoming CD, and to find a way to nicely showcase some of the great press the band has been getting lately. This was accomplished using a flash flying text effect on the front page. This site is built using an easy to update web based system that includes blogging, mail list, and store capabilities.

CD design: ‘Spirit of the Guitar’ by Ben Barron
This project was different for me, because I had never worked with a classical artist before. Ben and I decided to go for something more casual, yet still let people know that there was some really serious playing going on (Ben Barrron is one fantastic guitarist). So we put him on the floor in the studio. Instantly casual, different than most classical portraits, and really reflecting the personality of the artist and the music.
