(“Up Town” composed and arranged by Reynold D. Philipsek 2015 copyright Zino-Rephi Music BMI)

Cast of Characters:
Reynold-guitar

Michael Bissonnette-percussion

Adam Tucker-mix engineer (Signaturetone Recording)
Greg Reierson-mastering engineer (Rare Form Mastering)

This video was culled from the 2016 documentary “A Life Well Played” which was directed by Rene Erickson. It is essentially a collection of outtakes that were assembled into a new and separate video. I think it is complete onto itself.

The documentary these outtakes were taken from won Rene Erickson the 2016 “Highway 61 Film Fest” Award for best documentary short and the link to the full (30 minutes) film is at reynold.com

The video may be of interest to some as it outlines the whole process from writing the tune, rehearsing and recording the tune to mixing the song and mastering the final recording. In fact, I think it was a good idea to demonstrate that entire process as many people don’t realize the “steps.”

As a great musician once said, “I have suffered for this music now it’s your turn.”

Remember if “ads” pop up on YouTube you can skip them in a second or two.

Feel free to give me a little feedback. I like to hear back from you.

Thanks.
Be safe.
Love,
Reyn
