Tony was nominated for Outmusic’s Producer Of The Year Award for his work on Alix Olson’s acclaimed debut CD, “Built Like That” (“The music matches the word perfectly. Dynamic, emotional and raw.” - Collected Sounds) His productions and arrangements are always oriented towards serving and enhancing the song and the singer. Recent production projects (recording, arranging, mixing) include a new CD for Director/ Screenwriter (Mississippi Burning, Citizen X, Over There) Chris Gerolmo, singer-songwriter Ellen Randall's debut CD (Great Big African Sky), Bronco Bob (GiddyUp), Dustin Smith (Summer Afternoon), and songs by Annie Calder, Marianne Pillsbury, Jenna Klein & Tina Shafer, and Regina Smoler, as well as work on a new CD by Cassis. Over the past few years, he has produced, recorded, mixed and edited all the audio for the entire Collective Contemporary Styles series of Books/CDs, recently published by Carl Fischer Music, one of America's most prominent music publishers. This constitutes over a dozen hours of music performed by modern master player/teachers, incorporating the styles of Jazz, Rock, R&B, Funk, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Fusion (all in both contemporary and traditional styles), and others. Tony has produced, arranged, recorded and mixed CDs for Marion LoGuidice (Dirty Goddess), Stacy Harshman, Hunt Taylor and Contango, Melineh Kurdian, Heather Pirie, Meg Flather (co-produced with Larry Saltzman), international blues singer Bronco Bob, spoken word artist Saqi Dosaj, Irish actress and singer-songwriter Marion Tomas-Griffin, and Ann Marie Milazzo (East Village Opera Co.), as well as individual tracks for Sam Harris and actor/ songwriter Robert Sean Leonard.

He uses and is a specialist in Logic Audio for recording and scoring, utilizes other software programs, instruments, and plug-ins, as well as Avalon and Grace mic pre-amps, AKG and Beyer microphones, etc. He takes pride in the sonic quality of the recordings and mixes that come out of his studio.

It is mysterious and elusive, and can be reached only through fabrication and imagination and stylization. -- Werner Herzog |
