NEWS ROOM

DUMBO Arts Fest has become a CNS tradition as well, and this year was the best yet for us so far. Each year, our
team has put together a night filled with music, art, and fun to join in with the neighborhood's festivities. Our lineup this year was far and away the
most impressive, and the turnout was also beyond our expectations. All the artisits that performed were recorded and filmed, and we're toying with options
as to how we should release the material. The performances were decadent, and all involved deserve a big thank you:
Rich Levering, Ravi Shampoo,
The London Souls, John Henry Olthoff,
The New Chaw, Sissy Clemens,
Anna Marie Ayers, Jenda Wight,
Michael Burgess, Belikos,
Larune, Fiama,
Mike Krum, Gif,
Costanza, Nova Clutch, and
DJ KC West.
Stay tuned for media.....

We just completed our first day of tracking with up-and-coming artist
Fiama.
We're so happy she chose to record with us....we met on myspace
over a year ago, and finally, fruition. Fiama is an incredible talent
and what originally was just a one-day tracking session seems to
be leaning towards a full on production, start to finish, with our
team here at Casa Nova Studios. We were especially excited about
this session, because it was the first time we had the opportunity
to use our new 24 track hard disk recorder. With this comes the
excitement of seeing our main console being utilized to the fullest
(just months old). Imagine that, 2008, and a whole day of tracking
without the need for a computer monitor! Fiama brought with her
a band made up of srictly professional players featuring Rene
Ferrer (guitar), Chris
Viteri (percussion), Chikara Kitagawa (drums), and Ricardo
Rodriguez (bass, and just appeared on the CBS Early Show performing
with Chubby Checker!)

Post production has been initiated for “30” the movie,
with indie film director Curtis Pollock. Casa Nova is recording
the original score written and performed by the band, Second Movement.
"30" is a story about searching for the end of the road
but finding the beginning. Hal is a bitter, jaded bartender whose
life at the age of thirty isn't anything like he'd hoped it would
be. After he spends his 30th birthday being dumped by his girlfriend
and slinging drinks for thankless customers, he decides to try
his luck in Atlantic City. Hal's gamble pays off, so he continues
to let fate be his guide as he spots Route 30 on his way out of
town and follows it on a whim. Little does he know that Route
30 will take him clear across the continent, and as he meets new
people, sees new places, and experiences new things, he begins
visualizing his purpose and enjoying what life has to offer.
