TwisStudios is an association of musicians from New York's Hudson Valley. Our goal is to Prepare, Practice and Produce both covers of popular songs - but with a twisst.
And we also publish original material (see About page) .
There is an emphasis on expediency as well as talent. Sessions generally run like this:
The First Session is to chart out the song arrangement. Musicians take that information home and learn their parts.
The Second Sesseion is to meet with all and work out the song arrangement, and for each to determine what they need to rehearse. Tweek where needed.
The Third Session is the recording session.
There may some short follow-up sessoins to put a fine touch on the recording.
