Chris Tsangarides record producer video feature
We are delighted to bring one of our favourite video interviews with a record producer. Chris Tsangarides is not only one of the most gifted and in-demand music producers but he is also a larger than life person, full of fun and his enthusiasm is contageous.
The video interview with George Shilling is in Quick Time 7 format and requires a fast broadband connection to view, it runs for half an hour.
Chris Tsangarides is one
of those producers that has been a driving force in record production
for longer than we can remember. We had never met Chris before so were
wondering what this Grammy nominated writer, producer, engineer and
mixer was going to be like. Have we met a more friendly and cheerful
person, ever? Err, no. Chris is just an amazing character, full of fun
and obvious enthusiasm for his craft. More than that, he has huge
talent and he is as in demand today as he was when he was working at
Morgan Studios back in 1975.

The video feature will be
here as soon as we can have it edited, currently we expect to have the
feature here by the end of November 2007 so be sure to come back soon
for what we think is one of the best videos that we have shot. Also,
watch out for excellent Resolution magazine for the print version of
the feature.

Some blurb from Chris'
myspace page:
"Chris took his first job
as a Tape Op at the legendary Morgan Studios in 1975, which later
became Battery Studios. He produced his first record at the tender age
of 21, Gary Moore's "Parisienne Walkways" after a rapid ascent through
the Studio honour system. His discography reads like a veritable whos
who of alternative rock taking in credits for NWOBHM acts like; Tygers
of Pan Tang, Girl,Sledgehammer etc and then, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath,
Judas Priest, Ian Gillan, Bruce Dickinson, Depeche Mode, The Tragically
Hip, Concrete Blonde and more recently Yngwie Malmsteen, Gary Moore,
Aqualung, Ian Hunter, Less Than Jake and ThisGirl.
 Chris created and invented the VORTEX mic-ing system
favoured by studios and producers worldwide for getting the true'est
and most natural guitar sounds from their guitar amps. Chris also had
his own valve state studio, up until Jan06 in Surrey, England piled
high with vintage analogue gear along with the latest in digital
recording platforms fondly named The Dump! 2005 saw Chris working on a
diverse array of projects and albums including, New Model Army, Gary
Moore, Glyder, Sacred, Leanne Harte, Stella Maris and Flashpoint.
Lynchpin produced with good buddy Russ Russell was the final project at
The Dump before the big move.
2006 had started with the
construction of CT's new studio sited on top of the famous White Cliffs
at Dover, in his home village. Named "The Ecology rooms" based around a
32 channel TLA VTC desk and RADAR 24, it has a great sea view, a bunk
house, a glorious atmosphere and all of that fine equipment from the
old Dump studios. You'll also be seeing Chris on the silver screen next
year in a feature documentary covering the life and times of Canadian
Metal giants ANVIL. The filming has documented the recording of their
new album with Chris at The Ecology Rooms during April/May this year.
If you can't wait till next year to catch a glimpse of the "balded one"
waxing lyrical, you might want to check out the new "Heavy Metal-Louder
than Life" DVD which is out on general release. "
