Miguel Atwood-Ferguson “Arrangements Vol. 1” Released
We’ve had the pleasure of recording quite a bit of Miguel’s work here over the past couple years. Here is a CD showcasing his arrangement work in isolation, creating beautiful songs in and of themselves.
“This 22 track compilation brings together a little over one hour’s worth of raw, unmixed ‘stems’ of just some of the arrangements that Atwood-Ferguson has written and recorded for artists like Seu Jorge, Mayer Hawthorne, Marisa Monte, Carlos Niño, Shafiq Husayn, Bilal, Chris ‘Daddy’ Dave and The Gaslamp Killer between 2009 and 2013. While most of the tracks are comprised only of string orchestras, this album also contains tracks with other instruments such as harp, flute and brass instruments that MAF wrote for and directed. No auto tune was used.”
Miguel Atwood-Ferguson: Violin, Viola, Cello, Wurlitzer, Arranger, Producer, Co-Mixer

GUIDES – Recording
GUIDES were in the studio recording songs for their debut release coming early 2014. Check the website for upcoming shows or peep their Facebook to keep in the know.
about
“…Angular guitars playing spacious arrangements over a fluid rhythm section, settles the barrier between artist and audience…”
GUIDES is a Los Angeles four-piece indie post rock band started in 2012 by former Marjorie Fair bandmates, Chris Cogswell and Jayson Larson. The two joined forces to flesh out some demos Chris had been working on that were taking him in a new direction musically. Spending a few months writing as a two-piece, the guys then recruited Albino Crow Music indie Record Label head, David Garcia on guitar and Radar Brothers bassist, Be Hussey (on bass). Be also took on the producer and engineering duties for GUIDES at his studio, comp-ny located in the Equestrian District of Los Angeles. GUIDES first release should see the light of day in 2014.
