Forgotten Genre DiscsI just ran out of my first 100 FGP blank discs so it was time to call up Josh Cranmer at Fortress Audio and get my next batch ready. They just got here today and I was thinking how much I was hurting without them. The cool thing about Fortress Audio is they were able to provide me with a disc with my logo on it for a very reasonable rate. Now let’s be real. You can get discs for cheaper at Radio Shack or the internet or wherever but these discs have my logo on them so it is like advertising. Everytime I finish a project everyone in the band gets a disc of rough mixes for review. Now they have a disc laying around the house with my logo on it. It is very professional looking. It communicates to my clients that I care about the little stuff. That I plan on being around to use up those 100 discs. Fortress uses high quality blanks. I have never had a bad read on a disc. Each one was good. Fortress is also a local company that I want to see succeed. I want a duplicating house that is close by. If there is an issue I can go see them or call them. And this time Josh Cranmer even hand delivered the discs. You can’t beat that. So I want to see your logo on the next demo that comes to me. Why not?

It has been a while since we posted so we thought we would get something out quick. It has been a busy season with many cool projects. We just finished a song for the Main Street Mystics to enter in the Music For Everyone Compilation Project. The mystics are great guys and it has been fun working with them. We look forward to more tracks to record in the near future. Cross your fingers and hope they made the Music For Everyone compilation. We are also wrapping up mixes for the John Gerdy project.

We have also been spending a lot of time at Building Character They are on their way to becoming the premier venue for music and creativity in Lancaster. We have spent time recording the Faux Minx Ep there, Hiram Rings CD release party, where Tony mixed the audio for the live performance. We also took in a stellar set by Bill Mallonee, that was produced by our friend Chuck Zuch and SoundFocus , and coming up, a Trash & Glory show on March 20th. We are working with Building Character on some upcoming events that will continue to set the bar higher for musicians and performance in PA. We are also looking forward to participating in the Launch Music Conference in downtown Lancaster this April16th - the 19th. Stay tuned for more information.

Forgotten Genre Productions is also partnering with Fortress Audio in downtown Lancaster to provide the artist we work with, with professional affordable duplication and design and layout. The guys at Fortress Audio are committed to being your strategic stop for that final step in the process of getting your art and music to the masses. Stay tuned for more detailed information.
