I saw the rabbit hole and went down it.

It took me to places desolate. It took far too long. I'm still in recovery.

In my journey I ran across many people and finally found Jeff Mueller @ Seventhtrumpetstudios.com.

He mixed and mastered the album that became "Vessel"

Anyone who has listened to my songs will recognize all of them. I have posted them here already but they have all been remixed.

They are all done with Band In A Box instruments with one or two added guitars. And kick and snare samples added.

If anyone is interested in the CD send me a note I will gladly give you one.

Peace,
Lawrence Olivier

Lawrence, really enjoyed that. The mix is great, very polished.

That rabbit hole sure turned out to be a good thing.

Great to hear all those again, Lawrence.

(I always thought your own mixes were good... these sound good, too)

Hope you will spend more time with us here... Your songs are a joy to listen to - even the pain-filled ones... smile )

Lawrence, that is a fine collection of your work. Not a bit of filler there. They are all strong, well sung and written productions.

In the proverbial perfect world this would be on the Americana charts.

Outstanding!

Lawrence,

This album is truly a work of art. These songs are so well crafted, produced and sung - you should be very proud... Best of luck with it.

I want to see "A Tangle With Love" flying up the charts... smile

Great mixes and a great collection of songs,
I remember most of these, didn't make it thru
all the songs - bad internet connection - but
what I heard sounds really good.
Enjoyed

Finally all the cool songs on one album!
But we're missing one, our nearly favorite: Love Again (where is it?).

Luckily it's still here:

Love again

Lawrence's songs did some serious bar raising here on the forum.
Our absolute forum favorite of all times is Seventh Skin. A genuine masterpiece with unparalleled lyric.
The kind of song of which singer-songwriters think 'man, I wish I wrote that one '
But they didn't, Lawrence did ;-)

This is really good. Great vocal, lyrics, mix and super guitar leads. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Two thumbs up.

Hey, that's a nice sounding collection of songs. I popped into a few.

Vessel was good. Sometimes having an outside party mix and master can do good things.

Well done and some mighty fine writing as well.

Lawrence,

Your writing, singing and presentations are outstanding. It was a pleasure to work my way through a selection from this collection and hear how someone else interpreted your work from a mixing perspective. They have definitely done you justice.

All the best,
Noel

I'm the guy who mixed this album and instantly became a fan of Lawrence. The whole album is on my playlist because the writing is out of this world and the song composition is top notch. That makes mixing and mastering fun! Great job on this album Lawrence. You're an incredibly talented guy. I sincerely mean that! Jeff (Seventh Trumpet Studios)
