We are incredibly excited to announce an educational, cross-cultural partnership between The Global Z Recording Project and the educational arm of the world-famous and historic Abbey Road Studios, the Abbey Road Institute. The project – Frederick Circle of Musical Unity – is delivered in a hybrid format, with participants being in Frederick and London, connecting and recording synchronously via cutting edge remote recording technologies. The project features the innovative application of Audiomover’s exceptional product, Listento. This past week, Frederick and London stakeholders conducted a successful tech-test between the Frederick YMCA’s Recording Center, and Abbey Road’s Angel Studios in the UK. More on this amazing partnership soon!

Episode 31 of From A To Global Z is available for public viewing. This production is a tale of musical woe and the final foray in this mini-series dedicated to exploring the many and varied reasons why bands break up. We will delve into a single tragic case study about the heartbreaking saga of 1970s platinum rock band, Badfinger. Their tragic story has important lessons about about the music industry, and surrounding yourself with the right people. For ‘Mic Talk Time,’ we have a real beauty – it is Austrian Audio’s OC16.
