Hi to all Dreamwalkers out there,

Debbie Stern and I went over to Alpha Ear Studio to work with Patrick Russini on the vocals for Dreamwalkers upcoming album. Debbie worked on two of her songs, Louisiana Playing On My Mind and Somethin' About That Boy. Let me tell you, it was such a privilege to be with her while she unfolded some incredibly beautiful and creative tracks. Her voice is so gorgeous and her ability to figure out harmonies and background vocals is unparalleled. There were times when I just had to sit back and let the vibration flow through me and be in awe of the process. She hit home run after home run.

Watching the dynamic between Debbie and Patrick was so cool. Patrick suggested that Debbie do a "John Lennon" in which she re-sang the leads and harmonies so he could get a stronger feel in the track. I've heard about this and while he backs off the second one so you can't really hear it, the difference is visceral. You can feel it. The technique is uncanny and very effective and it helps to have an excellent vocalist like Debbie to make it happen.

Patrick had spent some time working on a pre-mix of the tracks and they gave us a preview of what is coming. The tracks are sweet and powerful. There is definitely a Dreamwalkers sound emerging, but the songs have their own quality as well. We will be moving through the vocals and then Tony Sheppard will be putting his lead guitar wizardry on the project. We are hoping to have something by mid-spring.

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker

Debbie's focus and concentration as she sings is remarkable.
