Last week - a moment.

Last week, my mom came over and I played her the final mixes of songs from my album. She hadn’t heard anything yet. Needless to say, after 28 years of hearing me clunk away at our family piano and singing at all hours of the night, then finally hearing a polished, finished product... well, we were both a bit emotional. My mom has always been rooting for me. I look at these photos and I can feel all the love and tremendous support she has shown me over the years, not to mention the love she has shown to my friends and our family. I’m pretty proud of these songs, but I was especially proud to see her react to them that day. I couldn’t have gotten this far without her encouragement and belief in me. Thank you, Mom. These photos were captured by my immensely talented and clever roommate Marta Iwanek, who swooped in as soon as she heard crying – ha! Smart photo journalist. 

I’m very proud to tell you that See Us Through is almost done. Mixing is finished. The songs are sounding clear, warm, and lush. The choir sounds HUGE. ☺ We start mastering (the final production stage) on August 4th. After that, it’s just finalizing the artwork and printing these babies, then soon enough they will be en route to your mailbox! 

What an incredible journey it’s been so far. I’ve learned so much. Lots still to decide about how and when to release this sucker. I’ll be keeping you updated. Exciting things to share and plans in the works!

With huge thanks to you,

All my best, xo Michelle

Hello folks!

We are mixing. Onward! Recording is finito! Stage 2! 

I was sent flowers by a lovely human to commemorate this excellent event, and I'm so grateful, because it IS a big deal. (I know, in the grand scheme of things, perhaps not so much, but for me, ... kinda important). 

Mixing - the glorious sonic sandbox.  

We're in the excellent hands of Jeff Wolpert (engineer/producer for Cowboy Junkies and Loreena McKennit to name a couple).  Just a few days ago, Jon Goldsmith was in the studio, and we sat there working out the best mix for his string arrangements. The many layers of background vocals are being interwoven beautifully.  I am (im)patiently awaiting the day they will be a complete collection for you. They are well on their way. I've been updating Instagram (@boutwillismusic) and Facebook (/michellewillismusic) with lots of photos.

Best,
Mich x
