Follow up on my post from last month:
I'm doing this. Just signed a lease, booked flights, rented a car, etc.
I'll be sabbatically living and working at this amazing retreat-type recording studio, spectacularly situated in Marin County, California. Mid-September through late October.
Bay Area musical peeps, want to do a little (or big) project with me here? Hit me up. My rates are supremely fair, and the studio is 45 minutes from SF. Non-Bay Area folks, want to do a life-highlight road trip / session? Hit me up. It's all very doable. Let's talk! 🤘❤🤘

"Research post"

Attention, musical artists who have worked with me in the past, or who might be interested in working with me... I am strongly considering a "working sabbatical", producing / creating / recording music at this stunning, unique studio in Stinson Beach, California (about 40 minutes outside of San Fransisco) for a month or more, early this fall.

Am weighing options, crunching numbers, trying to perceive if this is a feasible. I think it is.

Am wondering if you or anyone you know, might want to do a short (or long) project here with me (presumably coupled with some leisure time in this gorgeous part of the world), this Sept/Oct. I am gathering details, and would be happy to have a conversation about possibilities. Please feel free to contact me.

Work self-promo alert (!)

A client (for my mastering work) recently hipped me to the fact that I don't have a comprehensive / up-to-date credits page easily accessible online. They seemed to be correct: I'll admit I fumbled the ball a few years ago, in trying to keep a credits page accurate. I've just been too busy trying to stay on top of work and other stuff and, well, time flies!

Happily, Jeff Eckman of Pressure Cooker (whose new recordings I just finished mastering...) pointed me to a search / sort function on Discogs.com that lays out much of the music I have mastered, in reverse chronological order (the list shows mostly "label" type projects, not so many indy / local stuff). So, if you are considering hiring me for a mastering project, you can take a gander here and get a sense of some of my credits.
Handy! Thanks so much Jeff!

Verdant Studio 2002 - 2020

What a run we had! Countless cool recordings with thousands of cool folks from all over the world! Proud of the Verdant legacy! A sincere thanks to all who ventured here over the years, for your musical friendship. 🙏

So what is the latest? The property has been sold and the great news is the new owners plan to operate a recording studio in the old Verdant space -- a lovely-sounding room, as you may know. We'll keep this page up and will pass on news about the new studio, as we learn it.

Pete Weiss is quite busy working out of Boston for the time being and is very much available for mixing and/or mastering projects. Contact him through www.weissy.com if you need anything mixed / mastered (or just say hello!)

Drummer / composer Jeff Berlin's groundbreaking album "Random Misfires" gets props from industry stalwart Modern Drummer Magazine! The album, produced here by Pete Weiss and featuring Pete on guitar and Dana Colley of Morphine on woodwinds, was conceived and composed by Berlin while recovering from a serious stroke a few years ago. We're happy to report that he's back in ship-shape, and his drum skills are as astonishingly creative as ever!
