"I have the best live room in NJ. Deep
in
the woods of Schooleys Mountain NJ this the place
is
what I have dreamed about". It all started
many
years ago in the basement of my home in Plainfield
NJ
with musical jams and with writing sessions
so
many local musicians including Kevin Goins
(Quazar,
PFunk) Gordon Gaines, Gregg Fitz, Juan Van
Dunk
(Woo Warriors) Ken Sebesky, Jack Hill, Duane
Marshall, Jimmy Garabo, Calvin Cosner, Jerome
"Juice"
White, Troy White, Michael Ungar James Apgar, Dave
Smith, Eugene "Moochie" Jackson,
Joe Deluca, Wayne Bonstein Jack
Morer and many others.
Within a few years of leaving my
childhood
home I had built my first studio in the mezzanine
of
an old bank in Plainfield. This studio was called
Nova
Sound. A few years later I moved to California and
in
a short time realized that NJ was where
I
belonged. I moved to Toms River for 9 months
got
married and got an audio gig on the Cosby Show.
That
kept me going while building my first world class
studio Brickhaus Studios in Red Bank NJ) After 5
years, a family tragedy forced me to close
Brickhaus
and built a mixing room in my Hazlet Townhouse.
This
control room was the second room that I built that
was
modeled after "The Power Station' (studio B)". I
had a
small iso booth that allowed me to cut guitars and
vocals, however it was a real room that I needed
and
it would not take long to realize my dream.
In 2003 I moved north to the
mountains to build the compound. I always wanted
to
have a place with a great live room that I could
really experiment with all of my toys, all hours
of
the day or night. This room combined with my
collection of vintage gear that included a
hand
picked collection of amps, mics, mic pre's, eq's
and
keyboard modules would help me realize the dream.
There is no other room that I know of that sounds
the
way that this one does.
In 2005 Steve teamed up with
producer/engineer, singer and musician Scott
Monetti
to form Marinetti Productions... Scott has worked
with
The Alice Project, The Fins, Second Left, The Aces
and
many others. Scott & Steve have made some
great
music with drummer Jimmy Garabo as "The Green
Chapel
Boys". You may have already heard them of on Alex
Nackman Lelica's "Not A Moment Too Late or Travis
Rocco's "Smoke & Tangerines".
Behind all of the goodness in the
Chapel is
Dan Mr Choclitz (Himself) Tilgner. He has been
here
since the beginning. He is a crucial part of the
"thing" that is Green Chapel Studios.
