Frank Wallace – Producer

Frank Wallace has produced, recorded, edited and mastered eight CDs and three EPs for Gyre Music since 1997. His skills were developed through close observation and participation in all earlier recordings of Duo LiveOak and his solos with Titanic Records and Centaur, the 1994 “Lanterns of Fire” with John Newton and Antonio Oliart of Sound Mirror in Boston, and Christopher Greenleaf who produced and engineered “Schubert and Mertz”. In addition to creating his own recordings, he has recorded and edited several CDs for other guitarists and ensembles. His interest in the process developed from a passion for sound and the art of transferring the live experience of beautiful acoustics to recorded media. Learning the hard way after a long trip to Spain in 1990, Wallace was horrified to hear the pale image of his music recorded by a professional engineer in a Romanesque church. This disappointment led to the purchase of professional equipment and 10 years of study before his first CD was released in 2000. Wallace is committed to crafting the image of his own music on recorded media whenever possible. He is now using this skill in a series of videos of rare vintage guitars for Vintage Classical Guitars of Groton, MA.
