Had a great recording session with Marc. The sound was incredible. We were setup and ready to record in no time. The rough mixes at the end of the day were not 'rough' at all! A good sound is very inspiring when recording creative music and Marc excels at this.
Furthermore the spirit in the studio was great and we all felt safe as everybody followed strict CODIV-related safety measures.

Considering he's a 3x Grammy winner…
Considering he's a 3x Grammy winner who's worked closely with the likes of Lou Reed, Hal Wilner and many other musical and audio greats, Marc Urselli is remarkably down to earth and fantastic to work with- one of my all time fav creative collaborators.
One of the last big public performances I attended in the before-times was the celebration of the First Annual Lena Horne Prize, honoring Solange at Town Hall, late February, 2020. The lineup was spectacular, the vibe was Sacred, and the sound was perfect! I learned later, it was Marc Urselli on the live sound board that night.
A few months later, Marc mixed my latest single "Red Pill", produced by genius great, Clark Gayton. Marc not only understood my song, and our intentions, but, when it came to the mix, he was out ahead, working inventively AND quickly. Marc made amazing, creative contributions that enhanced the meaning and the sound experience of our song. Inspiring collaboration!
On top of that, he was willing to send in fun footage for our forthcoming music video ;)
One of his latest efforts, “Angel Headed Hipster” is transcendent, musically, across the decades, across genres and genders, and all the earthly boundaries that didn't seem to hinder hipster prototype, genius songwriter, charismatic, sexy, dirty cherub, Marc Bolan.
“Angel Headed Hipster” is a love letter to so many layers of musical and social history and groove and movements and more. Effectively a double album, the collection features songs like "Metal Guru" which demonstrates Bolan's childhood roots in 1950s rock. But, then, when you hear Nick Cave perform"Cosmic Dancer”, it's hard to imagine Cave didn't write it for himself this year.
Many of the pairings are greater than the sum of their parts. It's a fantastic kismet that Kesha was in the studio next door and spontaneously performed what became the opening track, "Children of the Revolution". Perry Farrell's "Rock On" is so Bolan it's incredible. And there are many more luminaries (Elton John, Lucinda Williams, Todd Rundgren, Sean Lennon, Julian Lennon), international talents and plenty of women on the roster (Joan Jett, Borns, Gaby Moreno, more).
Like great paintings next to each other in an exhibition, these juxtapositions and deliveries add richness to an already deep and fascinating catalogue of modern music.
This IS the kind of album that will appeal to music lovers across the spectrum, across generations, audiophiles, living room dancers, air drummers, reminiscers or modern day hipsters, curious ears and minds, all.
To say it makes a universally solid holiday gift would be only to touch on the tip of this awesome thoughtful, sonically delicious, agile and versatile production from Marc Urselli.

Marc is a PRO
Marc and his team at Eastside Sound did a great job with helping me put on a livestream event from their space. From suggesting hardware to lighting and camera angles, he was helpful the whole way and it goes without saying the audio mix was perfect. The artists I worked with were extremely happy with the result, and so was I.

It was great working with Spencer you and I am glad I was able to be helpful throughout the process... I hope we can do more livestreams with On Four together soon!

Marc Urselli is a high end professional
Marc Urselli is a high end professional. Telling you that as a perfectionist, who's only choosing the best. Marc mixed and mastered my debut EP (which is coming out soon) and he did an incredible job. I am based in LA and I was stuck to an idea of finding somebody with whom I could be present in a room, directing the work part by part. But once I gave it a try to do a distance work with Marc, since he's located in NYC, I realized that I made a right choice.
My Music has not a standard variety of instruments (Guitar, Violin, Bass, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Drums) and Marc did it all great withing a really fast time making every single adjustment I requested him to do.
I do not want to repeat myself, so to finish I'll just say that I'm extremely happy and excited about working with Marc Urselli and I'm looking forward to do some more work with him

Thank you so much for the stellar review Andrii!
I am so glad you pointed out that geography and distance are not an issue anymore and that we easily worked around those obstacles to bring forth the best in your music! It was a real pleasure working with you and I hope that we can mix your next full length album together!

Top Quality Mixing Engineer
I first came across Marc Urselli, through female music producer Aubrey Whitfield. I was reading through her blogs, and found a website recommending some of the top music producers and mixing engineers in the business. As soon as I discovered Marc had worked with the likes of the Foo Fighters, U2 and The Black Crowes (the list goes on!) I just had to get in touch. Not only is Marc a top professional, and a very talented mixing engineer, he also has a very caring heart after offering free mixes to bands who had been affected during Covid-19. My band Heyzeus were one of the lucky ones to win a free mix, for our debut release called 'Heroine'. We have now just finished recording our 3rd single which Marc has also done a fantastic job on the mix. I highly recommend Marc's services to anyone. 5 Stars.
Response from MARC URSELLIOct 5, 2020
Thanks for the 5 stars! I am glad I was able to assist you guys and be helpful during the Covid19 crisis and it's been a pleasure working with you guys on your music even after the initial mix that you won. Looking forward to future mixing!
