Mack Commissions Songs!
August 13, 2007 – Mack Music is pleased to announce the release of three songs written and performed by Richard Smyth featuring the Heatseeker HS-18! Listen to them HERE!
Mack Music Systems Limited is the proud sponsor of three songs written and performed by Richard Smyth. Mack funded the recording process and Richard applied his truly world-class composing and guitar playing skills to the project.
The objective of this initiative was two-fold. First, provide Mack`s prospective customers with a true understanding of the Heatseeker HS-18`s capabilities. Second, provide Richard with an opportunity to unleash his creativity and produce works of art that may help propel his career in a new direction!
We at Mack Music think both objectives have been achieved in stellar fashion! We couldn`t be more pleased with the result.
The three songs are:
5 Digit Password
Curves Ahead
Big Bertha
As mentioned above, we believe Richard`s song writing is truly world-class. These are flat-out GREAT songs. Of course, Richard`s playing is stunning ... delicate, swinging, funky, melodic, burning ... whatever the song requires.
We also think the Heatseeker HS-18 used for ALL guitar parts sounds pretty darn good too! Note that no overdrive or distortion pedals were used during the recording process.
The tunes were produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Mark Shannon at his
Tree Fort Studio. Thanks Mark, GREAT job!
Mark Shannon played bass and Grant Slater played the B3 organ. Fabulous work guys!
