Wes Kyatt

Wes Kyatt plays with a group called Beatrix Kiddo that is coming from Athens GA to record in a few weeks, they were supposed to stop by this weekend but things didn't work out, leaving an open spot. Wes hit me up asking if I would work on his solo stuff with him and I agreed.

Wes and Lauren were prompt showing up which was nice. We started with guitars, Wes laid down some great rhythm and lead tracks, then worked on bass for a while. He worked out the bass line and I have to say, it is stellar and going to sound great when I get done with this mix. He gave drums a try but as he does not have a kit of his own, it was choppy at best and we agreed to have O Zone take care of the drums, Steven will be working on that and will most definitely dominate the situation. After a few vocal takes I had to make him stop singing, he changed the key of the guitars to be much lower than he originally planned and he needs to work on it a little more and then come lay it down.

I am not sure that I am interested in working with too many single musician groups, mostly because I really enjoy recording a working band, a band that can play all of its songs already and knows how they want to lay them down. The whole process goes faster and the feel of the finished project is a bit different. Wes is a really talented artists though and we will continue to work with him for sure.
