2009 A Year For Pioneers For A Cure

A Happy New Year wish to all! May 2009 bring real progress in the treatment and prevention of cancer.
This is the year we've been preparing for, and we're getting ready for our launch. Over 2 dozen old Israeli pioneer songs have already been recorded, with about 16 other artists having committed to record. More than half the material is mastered, and many tracks have begun to appear on MySpace and FaceBook.
Last week Bob Clearmountain and Keith Olsen sat with Pioneer Producer Greg Wall in Santa Monica to mix our "all in" anthem, Am Yisroel Chai. It sounds great and will be out there soon.
More about that here. http://pioneerproducer.blogspot.com/2008/12/hangin-with-homeboyz.html

Our first iPhone / iPod Touch App, FightCancer, is submitted to Apple, and we anxiously await it's appearance on the iTunes App Store. This App is a free full preview of two of our songs, one by New York Voices and the other by Karen Rosen, herself a cancer survivor. Here's a clip from Karen's song "Yelad Kat."

Studio B for a New Year!

Happy 5769! As we move to the New Year, here's an update. We've recorded two more tracks recently, while continuing to mix and overdub others. The New York Voices came in and recorded a beautiful four part a cappella English version of "Sovivon Sov Sov Sov," the popular Chanukah song. Who knew it was a pioneer song? See our PioneerProducer blog for the rest of the story. This is exactly the kind of track we'd like to feature during the upcoming Holiday Season.

Which leads us to the second part of this post. We recorded over 20 songs from late March '08 until September '08, all in our wonderful Pioneer Studio. Alas, the space is undergoing a construction Extreme Make Over. So we've moved upstairs to our new Studio B! Although it's smaller, our new space is more appropriate for mixing these tracks, while still allowing us to overdub tracks and even record new ones.

The Pioneers For A Cure project will, please G-d, become an early 2009 release, with a Special Preview of our two Chanukah themed tracks (Yeled Kat is the other one) coming out in December '08!
