Recording debut album

Posted in Music by Robert Henry

‘Bout to head into the studio to record my debut album and a short video documentary.

The recording is entitled “Twelve Nocturnes and a Waltz”. It will be released in the Spring.

More details/updates to come!

Update 1: My very own Steinway D (#192) sits on stage. The movers accidentally dropped it onto my living room floor (!), but after a fresh tuning, it sounds amazing again. Recording starts tomorrow.

Update 2: Recording is complete. Now for editing.
