AUDIO HOUSE NOMAD BUSY WITH TV WORK

The studio opened in the summer of 2003 and pairs the father and son team of Mike Levesque Sr. and Jr. Senior has been composing, producing and creating sound design since the early '70s. In 1975 he opened Nutmeg Music, a multi-room audio house in NYC. Mike Jr. joined his father there in 1994, but his career path led him to Photomag Sound in 2001, where he worked alongside numerous veteran mixers. In 2003, following the closure of the Tapehouse Companies, which included Photomag, the father and son team reunited again to open Nomad Post.

Nomad features two identical audio suites base around Digidesign Pro Tools and Yamaha's DM2000VCM digital audio consoles. The rooms are also outfitted with Avalon mic pre amps, Genelec 5.1 surround monitors, Dolby E Processors, Sony DATs, TASCAM DA-98 recorders, and Sennheiser and Neumann microphones.

Levesque Jr. got his start working with Yamaha's DMC1000 over a decade ago and appreciates the benefits of digital boards. "The feature which I find most useful is the flawless user interface with Pro Tools. The routing flexibility is awesome, the 5.1 monitoring makes the console a breeze to use, not to mention that it sounds great."

In addition to the Speed Channel and Mercedes work, Nomad has worked on projects for Lowe's, Verizon, MTV and BET. The studio also handled the 5.1 mix for the last two Pixies DVD releases and the 5.1 mix for Elvis Costello's Live in Memphis DVD.
