Description
Experience the making of Julia Ecklar’s “Horsetamer” the way we did, through early mixes, producer interviews, instrumental & vocal-only mixes.
- Julia’s a cappella vocal bliss: Wonder what Julia sounds like a cappella? Experience nearly all of the album tracks with just Julia’s vocals – nothing added.
- Instrumental mixes of the entire CD. Sing parodies, sing along, or just enjoy the amazing orchestral craftsmanship.
- “The Making of Horsetamer”: Join Michael Moricz (producer), Julia, and Henry Yoder (engineer for Divine Intervention) in the studio. Hear their stories firsthand about the making of Horsetamer — and of Julia’s 1986 “Divine Intervention” album.
- 20 alternate and early mixes. Experience the album coming together, the way we did.
- Attend the recording sessions. You can “sit in” on Julia’s recording sessions from “The Troll King’s Dream”, “Tin Soldier”, and more. Experience what it’s like working in a studio, with a Grammy Award-winning engineer.
