DJ Galen Wade | Mad Chatter Recording Studio
Biographical Note: (*see, also: A Brief History of My Life in the Arts)
I have been an sound professional for nearly twenty years (since 1989). I am obsessed with music of all kinds and have been for as long as I can remember. (My mother tells stories of me screaming melodically in my crib.) I am a singer, songwriter and guitarist, and tinker with just about anything I can produce sounds out of (bass, banjo, jar of pennies, steel drum, toy harp, box of nails, bells, bells, and more bells). I have done live sound for bands and avant-garde theatrical productions, created music for film, recorded folks telling their life stories, and spent time recording bugs, oceans, & sticks going 'swip' in the desert.
Lately I have been mixing live sound for Bossa Triba & The Bateria, as I often do, and was "DJ Galen Wade" for their annual Halloween party, which for my money is the best party in the Berkshires all year.
& I just completed a Sound Design for a theatrical production of 'The Glass Menagerie' at Simon's Rock college, also in Great Barrington, MA, which will run for two weeks from Nov. at the Daniel Performing Arts Center adjacent to the campus.
So . . . I DJ, provide sound reinforcement for live events, write songs and musical scores for Film/TV, new media, and Theatrical Productions, record and edit music and sound f/x, and do location recording . . . among other things.
DJ Galen Wade Music for Every occasion! All styles & genres! Professional service and exceptional sound quality!
Venues where I have served as DJ include: Crissy Farms (Great Barrington, MA), The Egremont Country Club (S. Egremont, MA), Dewey Hall (Sheffield, MA) & Seven Hills (Lenox, MA).
I host a weekly radio program called the Scratchy Records Show, on WBCR-LP, 97.7 FM, out of Great Barrington, MA, every Friday evening from 7 pm - 8 pm EST. I have done this since the very first day of programming for the station (April 1, 2005). Live webcast available @ berkshireradio.org.
Mad Chatter Recording Studio
Mad Chatter is my recording studio. I use Protools and I am an extremely proficient audio editor. I record my own music (vocal and instrumental) usually playing all the instruments, although I love working with percussionists. I also transfer a lot of vinyl to digital and have a pretty slick record collection at this point. It's gotten to where, as the host of the Scratchy Records Show, people will often hand me their entire record collections - which I will sift through, keep some, replace some, give some to the radio station, and maybe even trade some over at John Doe in Hudson.
I have lately been doing some work with Hip-Hop producer, Stitch. I have written some things with him, learned a few recording tricks, and basically function as his session guitarist.
I am currently putting together a project which involves recording (and editing) the life stories of some of our wildly interesting local elders. It really is a divers area, rich with all manner of characters, and I find this work of 'legacy' recording exceptionally fulfilling.
CONTACT
Please email me with requests for information, availability, prices, etc. I am currently located near Catamount Ski Resort on the boarder between Massachusetts and New York - about an equal distance from Great Barrington (MA) and Hudson (NY).
For direct enquiries you may call my cell phone @ 413.429.1929, but please note that when I am at home I am out of range so it might be a day or so before I return your call.
