Music from Josh Burel and Ashley Kimbrough!

Featured in the music on the homepage of the GvG Productions site is two new tracks from this past spring! First on the list is a recording of members of the Western Michigan University Symphony Orchestra playing an original composition by Josh Burel, a recent Master Graduate. Josh is a tremendous composer and we were honored to record his Masters Thesis entitled "Incomplete (six)". The featured movement is the 4th movement.

Also featured is a track from the live recording of Ashley Kimbrough's Masters Thesis Recital. This was one of the most amazing recitals WMU has ever seen and Mrs. Kimbrough and her ensemble took the house down. We got a wonderful recording of the event and this is the final track from the recital featuring many students from the WMU school of music. ENJOY!

Desolation Row

We are very excited to be producing a new ensemble called "Desolation Row. Desolation Row combines the comprehensive term "jazz" with a bit of rock flare. Their instrumental music combines beauty with chaos, love with hate, relief with frustration. It sure makes for a unique sound, definitely worthy of a GvG Production! We are spending the day in the studio today tracking the album. A big thanks to the concerts office at WMU for giving us the recital hall for the day! Also a big thanks to Jon Chong for the video and photography. We will have photos up soon!

QSC K Series

I love these speakers. I own a pair of K-8's as I was not able financially to purchase the larger K-10s or 12s. All three boast 1000Watts of power with different sized drivers. The wide 105 degree spread has been WONDERFUL for DJ settings. In live music settings, it can cause problems if they are not aligned properly (feedback issues). The variety of EQ, Gain, and chaining options make it a VERY versatile speaker system.... oh yea... and they sound GREAT. Combined with the K-Sub, This series is the best bang for the buck you can find.
