As you may have cleverly surmised, my name is Steve Henningsgard. I am a Producer/Engineer from Minneapolis, who recently made the rash, bold, and arguably stupid decision to quit my cake 9-5 in pursuit of self-employment as a full time "audio guy"/studio troll, in the midst of one of the worst economic periods in United States history. The next few years should be an interesting period of personal growth, as I'd like to expand my creative abilities on many fronts. Hopefully this website will grow with me. My ultimate goal as a producer is to produce influential albums. I want to be a part of musical recordings that change lives, define genres, etc. I want my work to be important, and to add something to the human experience as a whole.Recently, my band (Iron Thrones) won a once-in-a-lifetime chance to work with some of the top people & companies in the business, without signing to any label. We'll be learning all there is to know about making it as a DIY/independent band, and afterwards they let us go and do it ourselves with no strings attached. I'll be blogging about it as often as I can (generally, daily) here, so be sure to check back periodically to see what I've learned.
Be sure to check out my blog for updates and random musings about recording and the music industry in general.
We'll see how this goes... -steve.h
