Buzz Records Releases First Surround Sound Project
Buzz Records Releases First Surround Sound project Gary Rutkowski’s Spectacles of Rhythmic Mastery, Volume 1 Orchestra of Rhythm. Produced by Grammy nominated producer Anthony Casuccio.
Amherst, New York (I-Newswire) September 13, 2012 - Buzz Records is releasing its first Surround sound project from drummer and percussionist extraordinaire: Gary Rutkowski. Recorded live, Spectacles of Rhythmic Mastery is a cacophony of rhythmic layers. Each song has multiple drummers and instrumentalist. This album consists of music that was recorded at GCR- Audio over two sessions in upstate NY. These pieces were composed and arranged by Gary Rutkowski (Maelstrom Percussion Ensemble, and Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra). He conducted this ensemble made up of local professionals as well as music students from Villa Maria College
The album consists of three amazing rhythmic masterpieces. 5 AGAINST 4 is a 'composite' poly-meter with one group of drummers playing 5 beats per measure at the same time another plays 4. The two drum set players lead the way A JOURNEY IN 12/8 is based on traditional African rhythm and given a modern jazz/rock interpretation by the ensemble. Featured instruments are the marimba, bass and percussion. The original source music is by Andrew Michlinski, a student of Rutkowski’s who passed away in 2010, then arranged by Rutkowski. GONG RHYTHMS is a series of rhythms generated by the timbales then enhanced by the entire ensemble throughout the piece. Four full drum kits, hand percussion, upright bass and electric bass, guitar and select African drums make this the perfect composition for surround sound.
Produced by Buzz Records partner; Grammy nominated engineer Anthony Casuccio “everything was tracked live with minimal takes and no overdubs. The surround sound mix was done in a similar manner: one session, minimal plug-ins and effects.” Rounding out the production was Justin Rose from GCR- Audio and the project was mastered by Adam Ayan (also Grammy nominated) at Gateway Mastering.

About Buzz Records
About Buzz Records:
Buzz Records, founded in 2011 by Grammy-nominated producer Anthony Casucc More..io and music aficionado and lawyer Steven Kantor, is a story of two men with vastly different backgrounds joining together to create something new and much-needed in the music industry:
A record label with a fresh vibe.
“We’re going to sign and nurture artists and bands who have a genuine, original sound,” says co-founder Steve Kantor, a successful attorney who grew up outside Buffalo, N.Y. and attended college and law school at Michigan State before returning home, where he opened his own firm. Buzz is different from other labels — both majors and indies. Casuccio and Kantor look at Buzz as a long-term investment, both on the financial and the artistic sides. “We’re putting the art before the money,” Kantor says. “Too many bands and record companies are looking to make a fast buck,” agrees Casuccio who, like Kantor, grew up in Western New York. After graduating from Fredonia State College, Casuccio worked with major record labels, including both Sony and Readers Digest Records, in New York and California. He trained at Julliard and became heavily involved with the Grammy organization before returning home to Buffalo, where his company Xtream Audio does mastering work for labels and artists across both North America and Europe. Multiple projects of Casuccio’s have been nominated for Grammy awards.
“Too often nowadays,” Casuccio says, “record companies and producers sign bands to create cookie-cutter, quick-hit songs that they’re hoping will get you to download some music and buy some merchandise before the next studio-manufactured hit comes along. We’re going to change that.”Less..
