Birdwaves Media is celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the original release of Ostrich Farm’s The People in the Hills by re-issuing the long-unavailable album. The album features 14 tracks, recorded at the notorious Slaughterhouse Studios in Hadley, MA, with engineer Mark Miller. Track titles include “Spiral In”, “Girl Like You In A Place Like This”, and “Men Working Things Out”. 

Alongside The People in the Hills, Birdwaves Media is introducing the previously unreleased We Must Rock. Recorded in 2001 at Ratite Studios in Ashfield, MA, Ostrich Farm’s magnum opus features 19 tracks, including “The Stomp”, “Desert Rock”, “Brave New Tango”, and “Back To School”.

In my last newsletter, I wrote about all the new and updated Apple products that had been introduced during the year. As of the writing of that newsletter, the HomePod had yet to be actually released. It has now been made available.

Maintenance plans from Birdwaves Media

For some time I have been working on offering a Maintenance plan for sites I have built and/or maintain. I’m happy to finally announce that plan.

Why a Maintenance plan? What’s it about?

There is an ad I see now and again on the web that shows a web designer getting swamped with “special requests” from clients after they’ve “handed off the website” to their clients. 

I can’t stand this commercial. The premise is all wrong, in my opinion. I have never wanted to just “hand off” a website to a client. I’ve always been in it for the long haul. I want to be there for my clients, and be ready to work on improvements to their sites. 

I’ve also wanted to be there for maintenance. And now I’m putting in place a means to do this.

What Birdwaves Media Does

Web Design

Is your current website mobile-compatible? I'm fluent in both Wordpress and Joomla!. Besides mobile-compatibility and higher Google rankings, a CMS also lets you update your own site using only your web-browser and without having to code. Let's get started!

Video Production / Editing

Small productions, all phases from planning to recording to editing. Editing in Final Cut X. Green screen available.

Mac and PC Support

While I prefer to work on Mac, and I only recommend them, I do work on PC’s as well. Got a problem? I’m here to help!

Music Recording / Production

At my recording studio here in Ashfield, I'm able to record groups. A sweet vocal booth is available for voiceover work. Audiobooks, voiceover, and poetry readings a specialty.
