Here is a recent press release from HouseofHarmonyStudios.com that is scheduled to appear in the Warren Times Observer. Please check back soon, because our new and improved website is under development... . . HouseofHarmonyStudios.com is a recording studio, which is currently expanding its business model to include professional DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) sales and consulting for home recordists and performers. This makes us the only provider within hundreds of miles that enables the average person to be up and running with a turn-key home recording solution that is higher quality than most of the golden oldies had available to them. We are also expanding into contract electrical design work and have several progressive products for the entertainment industry in development right now.... from radically new instrument ideas to musician's tools that will enable the next generation of real-time performance and control. We plan to employ 10-30 people within the next few years, from electrical engineers and programmers, to audio engineering and application personnel. Don't hesitate to email us from the website with any questions."

I am currently volunteering my time to run the audio and video technical side of things for Warren's 1st "All County Junior Musical" called "School House Rock Live Jr.". It is a very busy week for me and I will be at the lovely Struther's Library Theatre all week. Leave me a voicemail or email and I will get back to you. Thx.

I am looking for someone who would like to update my website on a regular basis (complete with photos) in exchange for recording services. I am always so focused on the creation of new music and new recordings that I dont spend the time that I should keeping the website up-to-date. If I truly documented everything that I do have going on, the website would have much more exciting content. There are always "locally famous" people here and most everything that occurs here is worth documenting. No money will exchange hands...services for services. Should have a graphics designers eye with web skills. Please contact me. Thx, frenchy.

"Oscar Night" @ the Struther's Library Theatre was a great success!! Thank you LeAnne Tingay for throwing such a wonderful fund-raiser for the theatre. We had live video interviews conducted by students from Eisenhower High School which were broadcast on-stage in real time....we had musical entertainment that covered several genres. Warren's own Jim Cheronis absolutely blew everyone away with a pristine performance of a very difficult & dynamic number from "Jesus Christ Superstar". Thanks again to all involved & all who showed their support of our wonderful Theatre! Lastly, I would like to thank the HouseofHarmonyStudios.com crew that made things go so smoothly. Ed Thomassini ran the video interviews from the entrance....Steve Chapel ran the sound....and Steve French was Production Manager that kept the technology, the video team and the audio team flowing in the right direction.

I am currently working on the music for a movie. In my usual spirit of collaboration, I have teamed up with two amazing vocalists...one is my old partner from the Bionic Groove, Ms. Amanda Deming, and second is the infinitely talented Charity Nuse from BigLegEmma. Things are in the extremely preliminary form and will completely change, but if you would like to hear a quick snapshot, you can check here... PrelimClip. There are two completely different ideas connected by a very disturbing segue.

I recently recorded audio and video for the Barbershop Concert at the lovely Struther's Library Theatre. It went great and I am currently mixing down stereo and 5.1 surround sound versions of the show. I plan to have CDs and DVDs available soon. I would like to thank Tom Tellmann for being a critical member of my video team and putting in countless uncompensated hours helping me to move forward in the world of video. I am very excited to finally offer world-class video services.

"On the Banks of the Allegheny" was premiered last night @ the annual WCCBI dinner as "Warren's new theme song". They also played a 3 week old, completely unfinished and unpolished version of the song on WNAE this morning. Click on "Frenchy's Portal" below to learn more about the project, the "Collectors Edition" CD and to hear a snippet of the final version of the song. I had a great time with this project and we did it for Warren, PA!!

Hip-Hop show #4 was a great success!! Thanks again to 106.9 for having TheRudeBoy and I on the morning show. Thanks also to all the people who had the cajunes to come participate. We have had countless people say that they would come participate and then back out. It takes something special to commit to performing infront of hundreds of people and then actually follow through!! See you next month Fri July 1, 2005 at the Nail!

Wow, what a weekend!! I just returned from a long weekend in NYC. I learned so much that my head is still spinning! I was part of a video commercial shoot for an upcoming Disney product. I will release more details later, but for now I want to give big thanks to Chris (www.productionjunction.com) and also to Pat (www.hollowaygroup.org).

I just got off the phone with Mr. Dave Tidquist (the man behind the Great Blue Heron music festival) and one of the musical endeavors that I am in (Smackdab) will be playing at the Blue Heron this year in our favourite slot.  This is always the funnest show of the entire year for us.  You can check the Smackdab official 2005 schedule on the "Frenchy's Portal" page.

The live Hip-Hop and R&B night was a smashing success.  Thanks to all who came on down to the nail for the 1st one!!  "Dirty Nate" came down from Buffalo and was awesome.  "The Lost Souls" were so good that we called them up to the stage 3 different times....and "Priest" was getting compliments for hours after he left.  The best part of it all was that we provided a forum for artists to meet and learn about each other.  Collaboration at its best!!  This event will be on the 1st Friday of every month, so we will see you at the 2nd one on Friday March 4, 2005.

Big Leg Emma has been rehearsing here for the last two days in a row with their new drummer "Geno".  Things are going great.  Charity, Jericho and I are sitting here right now saying "wow" as Geno is going off in the next room over on a jamming improv segment.  Good stuff!!  Be sure to contact us if your band needs a place for rehearsal.
