Peter has recently finished producing
and orchestrating a new sacred CD for artist, Mindy Jostyn.
Mindy is an amazing vocalist/musician who together with Jacob
Brackman (lyricist on many Carly Simon songs) writes gorgeous
songs in the folk/pop/bluegrass/celtic traditions. In fact,
Carly Simon sings a duet with Mindy on the CD. It is a fusion
of many different World Music traditions. The CD will be released
September of 2005 and was produced mainly at Link Recording
Studios, NYC.

Link
Recording Studios has changed location. The studio is better
than ever, but has gone private. It will continue to be available
to friends and a selected few. You can still reach the studio
at 212-244-0426 or linkstudios@verizon.net.
These decisions were reached mainly because of Peter's desire
to concentrate on his own music and to no longer deal with the
hassles of owning a public recording studio. Happiness pervades.
Time marches on.
