Hey bro, how are you doing? It was great to hang out with you at NAMM man, and we haven't talked since then, therefore I decided to reach you here after seeing you on Murilo's page. You did an excellent job on his Album named "Virus" from England. He's an excellent musician, very talented and a great friend of mine for a long time in Brazil. We played together for years and I know him better than I know my brother! ehehehehe... I wish you All the best, man! See you next year at NAMM or maybe earlier than that, hopefully! Peace!
Hey Maor Appelbaum, Nice work history! I like the song "You keep me from breaking apart" by Apoptygma Berzerk. Have you ever been to our studios here in downtown Cleveland, Ohio? If not we would love to have you visit. Hope to hear from you soon.
