Jenner Fox and friends were recently recording at Blue Coast Studios for their just released album, Buffalo.

Here's a sneak peek at what it's like to be in the studio with Jenner.  A brilliant combination of mixed performances and actual performance captured of rehearsals from the video camera perspective.  In one minute, you'll hear the music transform from mixed to live to mixed all locked to video captured of the musicians, engineers and others during the session.

There's been an interesting trend in music the last few years.  While hip hop and pop music still dominate the charts, artists are creating sonic calming music that can last as long as 8 hours.  It's not meant to be exciting.  It's meant to relax and sometimes put you to sleep.  Millions of people are tuning in to it.
