He is the chief head honcho engineer of the Monkeyclaus Recording Studio. As an early Monkeyclaus believer, Abel was a key figure in the construction of the studio. He personally wired the entire studio. All the patches. All the everything. Recounting the heroicness of his efforts in manifesting this studio and this webportal is impossible in "blog form." Howewer, let us not be distracted by his accolades, and let us focus on the output. Abel recorded over a dozen of the titles in our current catalog, all of the Monkeysession Features, and voluminous archived material which will be soon finding its way to the Monkeyclaus site, with our relaunch. In many cases Abel engineered, produced, mixed and mastered the entire project. His eponymous music project has become a relentless vehicle for beat creation and electronic wizardry. Check both Abel Okugawa releases in the store, "816 Mix" and "Magic Cuts". Also check out Abel playing on the Avon Force and Galactic Core albums, and in the artist community find his work on the Red Flower Lake recordings.

Here you can see a few photographs of how we started our recording using the Casio SK-1 for click tracks to lay down the foundation for the songs we will be developing. We used our AKG C-12VR Vacuum Tube Mic run into our Millenia Stt-1 for this signal path to Pro-Tools. We found this path gave us a great recording of the full range and realistic quality we wanted to capture coming out of the built in 2" Casio speaker. As soon as we have the Casio recorded, we then will use beat detective to make our grids. As soon as the grid is in place we can start adding all the cool guitars and basses we will be recording with. There will be an exciting list of guitars and amps used as the sessions continue.

Session Notes :

Tom Peloso : Recording Artist

Abel Okugawa : Engineer

Raphael Wintersberger : Engineer
