New from The Audio Village, The Reveille - Instrumental Songs For Study & Reflection.

We are excited to announce that Austin Stone's new half-live/half-studio Christmas album, A Day Of Glory was released on Tuesday, November 13.

Kyle Lent worked extensively on the record, co-producing the full album with Aaron Ivey, performing on a handful of songs, editing the entire project, and managing other aspects of the project.

All studio tracks and overdubs of live tracks was done at The Audio Village! Click the album cover to buy it on iTunes.

The Aaron Ivey Band will be playing at Austin City Limits Festival on Sunday, Oct 14 and 2:45pm! The Audio Village has worked with these guys a ton, producing, editing, and overdubbing on their last couple of live records. If you are in Austin and able to make it out to ACL, come see these guys play!

Exciting things are under way at The Audio Village. We are currently moving into a new facility and joining forces with another local studio! This will allow us to drastically increase our gear selection, along with a more state-of-the-art facility. New photos coming soon!

I have been working on some videos with my friend and photographer Steven Bush (stevenbush.org) for local Austin artists we are calling "Confessionals". The idea is simple: one fluid take or a musician (usually a singer/songwriter) performing his or her song. No video cuts, no audio editing.

The idea came when we realized that photo shoots were not exactly useful for musicians anymore - image definitely plays a part, but it doesn't allow you to hear the music. And in a world with so much "image noise", standout artists often get lost in the mix. Confessionals give artists a chance to stand above the crowd - it puts forth an image of the artist while showing what they are capable of. The film should present the song in a simple, straightforward, but elegant way, letting the artist and song shine - not the high-budget production.

Here are some examples:
David Ramirez - "Stick Around"


Penny & Sparrow - "Creature"


Matt McCloskey - "Into The Light"
