Sarah Elizabeth Foster | Friday, July 3, 2009 at 2:00AM I'd like to announce yet another online project of mine. Short-form blogging. I'm not sure how I'll integrate it into my website, but we'll see. For now visit this link to read what I post...
tumblr Sarah Elizabeth Foster | Thursday, July 2, 2009 at 2:00AM Nancy leaving the band and us here at Studio Sarah Records marks what I believe will be a new beginning for all of us. July 7th will mark one year from when New York State certified Studio Sarah Records as an LLC and I consider that an impressive milestone.
Nancy has been working with me from the beginning.
I first asked Nancy to come with me to the recording studio to take photos and videos to document the recording of "Gardening from the Ground Up Part 1." She had been a friend to me since we worked together as ushers at an off broadway theater. I knew photos of the recording process would carry deep meaning for me throughout my life and be useful to display here on my website.
I didn't know if it would be strange having someone in the studio taking photos of my producer and I, but Nancy was a natural. After her first day, my producer told me how impressed he was with how naturally she fit in with us.
As the recording process continued, Nancy became an important sounding board for the final decisions that needed to be made on the album. I will never forget us hailing a cab on a bustling Houston Street and speeding to Brooklyn so that my producer could make an important change before the last Fedex pickup of the day.
Nancy will be missed, but we will be celebrating this successful year as this important anniversary approaches.
Nancy Gort | Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 2:00AM As some of you already know, Rockwood Music Hall was my last performance with the band and today I walked into the office for the last time as a Studio Sarah Records employee. This fall I am leaving New York City to embark on a new journey, graduate school.
When Sarah asked me to write this blog, I didn’t realize how difficult saying goodbye would be. How do I express all my gratitude, sadness and excitement in such a small space?
I’m grateful to have worked at this wonderful company and to have been a part of something truly special and innovative. I’m sad to leave a place with people that have helped me mature and grow, a place filled with interesting and new challenges every day. Sarah was right when she told me, “We’re more like a family here.”
Not only do I have a family at Studio Sarah Records, but with the band too. Performing with Sarah, Kenji and Caleigh allowed me to rediscover my musical passion and I don’t think I can ever repay them for being as patient and encouraging as they were. I know I’ll be at future shows and cannot wait to hear new songs and new interpretations of the old ones!
Leaving both families is difficult but I’m excited for the days to come, and know that my time here with Sarah at Studio Sarah Records has only prepared me and given me the strength I need for the journey ahead.
Thank you blog readers. Thank you Studio Sarah Records. Most of all, thank you Sarah.
Sarah Elizabeth Foster | Friday, June 19, 2009 at 2:00AM The photos page is back up and running. We have fewer photos, but we think they are all top notch. We've started by introducing you to some black and white behind-the-scenes photos for now, but more photos will be introduced in the near future.
You might notice that all the photos now have watermarks. We've started doing this to discourage people from right-clicking and saving the photos. The digital downloads of the photos can be purchased high-res from our photo shelter site for personal use. Hint: Need a new computer background?
We are also selling prints through the same service for very affordable prices.
