Producer/Engineer Scott Jacoby & artist Maiysha visit East Fordham Academy of Arts

The Lodge's dearest friend and long time client Scott Jacoby recently visited East Fordham Academy of Arts along with RnB artist Maiysha to teach the students the magic behind songwriting & production.
Scott is a Grammy award-winning producer/multi-instrumentalist who has worked with so many artists such as John Legend, Naturally 7 & Vanessa Hudgens. He also produced and engineered Dutch rock band Kane's platinum selling album "Everythingyouwant" & EMI France's Chimene Badi: both albums were mastered by Emily Lazar & Joe LaPorta at The Lodge.

Check out this video of Scott & Maiysha with EFA students recording their track "The Next Generation"...oh and if you look a little closer you might notice Scott rockin' a Lodge t-shirt. We love you Scott!

Grammy Nominated Artists Mastered at The Lodge

The 2010 Grammy nominations have been announced and we're proud to send our congratulations to two artists we're quite familiar with: Vampire Weekend and BT. Vampire Weekend's "Contra" is up for Best Alternative Album, while BT's "THESE HOPEFUL MACHINES," earned a nod for Best Electronic/Dance Album.

The hugely successful indie release, "Contra," was mastered by Emily Lazar and assisted by Joe LaPorta. Building on the success of their 2008 self titled release (also mastered at The Lodge), "Contra" is only the 12th independently released album to ever earn a number 1 spot on the Billboard Top 100 chart.

Trailblazing electronic artist, BT, improved on his already impressive resume in 2010 with"THESE HOPEFUL MACHINES." Mastered by Lazar and LaPorta earlier this year at The Lodge, BT continued his tradition of pushing sonic boundaries, particularly in mastering, by merging analog tape machines and digital domain together in the same song. The result of this epic effort was one of the most exceptionally well crafted electronic releases this year. Sonic Scoop interviewed Lazar, LaPorta, and BT about this process in February, click here to read all about it.

The Grammy Awards ceremony will take place on February 13, 2010 in Los Angeles, CA at the Staples Center. Tune in and help us show support for our friends!
