Studio A was a whole vibe 🔥 during the JJP/Ocean Way era. Should we bring it back? Maybe throw one of those JJP legendary parties that everyone still talks about?

Suzanne Ciani Groundbreaking Albums Restored at United Archiving

One of the current projects we're working on here at United Archiving is going through Suzanne Ciani's catalog and archiving the multi-track and mixmasters of her albums. It's been an incredibly exciting and rewarding project to work on. Suzanne is one of the pioneers of electronic based music and what people would term new age music. She truly is one of the most groundbreaking, not only people, but women. It's been incredibly rewarding for me to listen to the music that she has. Everything is a small little symphonies done with moog synthesizers and boo-klas and all of this early synth technology.

Suzanne Ciani - Diva of the Diode is one of the groundbreaking pioneers in modular synthesis and in quadraphonic sound and quadraphonic presentation. Suzanne's project is also an example of several of the benefits of archiving. Suzanne's tapes are old enough that they're at the point where they're beginning to degrade. So there's a need to get them off of older analog formats. But she's also planning to take these things and remix them into Dolby Atmos, and perhaps even do high-resolution stereo remixes.

So Suzanne's project is great because it's really encompassing many of the reasons you do archiving. Her music is of a value in a nature that is historical. We are doing it to preserve the assets before the originals degrade to a point where they can never be played again. It is having them for deep storage for decades to come. It is being able to take these new transferred assets and remonetize them, remix them into new formats, and then be able to reintroduce this music to a younger generation. And it really deserves to be preserved not only currently for her, but for generations to come as well. Bill Smith Chief Archiving Engineer.

We clearly couldn’t get enough of @thehellodarlins. If you’re in PEI you can catch them on tour and at the @canadianfolkmusicawards April 1-2. 🎉🎉

The casts of Petticoat Junction, Green Acres and Beverly Hillbillies got a little drunk and made a band called @thehellodarlins and they recorded their new album here at United with @ross_hogarthmix. We had the best time with them and could not be more excited to hear what they created and hopefully see them on tour.

United Recording staff engineer/producer Johnny Morgan is helming a project with LA musical performance artist “almighty Opp.” NPR radio station KCRW describes the artist’s monthly public presentation as “a puppet show, psychedelic concert, social experiment, and religious service – all in one.” All puppets are handmade and the songs are written and performed by the founder.

Sessions at United featured almighty Opp founder, known only as “Jeffrey’s Human Persona,” on guitar and vocals. On bass was Mike Watt, an Iggy & The Stooges veteran, plus a member of numerous other bands. “The bass amp was actually pointed away from the rest of the room mics and turned pretty low and recorded with an upside down Neumann U47 FET,” Morgan adds. Sessions engineered and produced by Johnny Morgan, United Recording staff.

All of us at United Recording are deeply saddened by the loss of Lisa Roy, President of Rock & Roy Entertainment on New Year’s Eve 2021.

Lisa was a pivotal figure in the music and recording industry with countless friends and colleagues who were touched by her flair for style and professionalism. She was not only a publicist and co-founder of Rock & Roy Entertainment firm but also wore many hats in the music world from marketing, event production, mentoring, fund-raising benefits, showcases for pro audio and M.I. manufacturers, as well as bringing attention to and honoring other women in the industry who are vital in the making of music worldwide.

Born in Montreal, Canada, Lisa’s serious work in the music business began when she co-founded Ground Control Studios, a multi-room facility in L.A. with a dedication to creativity and technology. This led to the start of Rock & Roy Entertainment, a consulting firm for artists and technologists.

Through the years, Lisa’s client’s included such technology brands as AT&T, Dell, Intel and DTS and artists such as Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Alan Parsons, Tori Amos, and Danny Elfman. Lisa was a spark behind such events as the MTV Video Music Awards, Pavarotti and Friends, the annual Audio Engineering Society convention, the Latin Grammy Awards, and The Pensado Awards, among others. Lisa worked closely with top manufacturers in the music instrument and pro audio market sectors, organizing artist relations for such brands as Audio-Technica, Roland and BOSS. Additionally, along with longtime associate Robert Clyne, Lisa co-directed the technical public relations initiatives for the annual Grammy Awards.

We are saddened by this profound loss, but realize that Lisa’s influence in the music industry will be felt for decades to come. #lisaroy

Kevin Flournoy Tracks Multiple Albums at United Recording - Mixonline

Producer, songwriter, arranger, and keyboardist Kevin Flournoy has been working on several projects at United Recording in Hollywood. In his star-studded career, Flournoy has produced, written, performed, and recorded with artists such as Chaka Khan, Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Teena Marie, Jeffrey Osborne, The Pointer Sisters, Jennifer Hudson, The Jazz Crusaders, and Harvey Mason, to name a few.

Flournoy is currently producing and co-writing the first solo album of Amanda Cole, former member of the Grammy-winning group En Vogue.

Flournoy is also composing and producing the first of his two solo instrumental albums. “The first record will focus on my production and writing and will feature several well-known and up-and-coming vocalists. I’ve been asking artists I’ve toured with over the years to work with me on this project. Initially, at United, we tracked musicians for “Caribbean Blue,” a song I co-wrote with Gary Benson and Quino McWhinney, the lead singer of the reggae group Big Mountain. And for my contemporary jazz record, we recorded legendary jazz saxophonist Ronnie Laws as well as guitarist Ramon Stagnaro, both of whom will be featured players on my first single.”
