After a year of creating new music, violinist, singer,
and composer Omar Lopez has gone back into the studio to begin the
pre-production phase of recording his third album. This time around, he
is working at Everdrift Recording Studios with contributing producer and recording engineer Mark Ford, who is an
accomplished cellist and string arranger in addition to being
well-versed on guitar and keyboards. Ford is assisting Omar in creating
the synth sequences and orchestral foundations of twelve brand-new
original songs, and Omar's live band and backing vocalists will be
recording their parts later this spring with Omar's longtime
collaborator Adam Whaley. Whaley will also be a contributing producer
on this project - his Means of Production Studio
recently moved into a larger space in North Austin. In March 2009, Omar
will begin filming a long-planned video documentary which will
chronicle the creation of the new album from start to finish. Stay
tuned to his Official Website and this MySpace for more information!
