We had an honor to invite one of the best and talented guitar players that we have crossed paths with “Mr. Mark Whitfield. Graduated from Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music, the world's foremost institution for the studies of Jazz and modern American music. Native New Yorker and a career as a jazz guitarist had afforded him the opportunity to collaborate with legendary artists including Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, Carmen McRae, Gladys Knight and his greatest teacher and mentor George Benson.

The way I would define music when it hits you is the same way that the waves from EX Machina Soundworks explains: “Science, Non Fiction.” I would take further to say that our lives are made of elements that vibrate inside us giving that feeling, you know? As how scientists and their reports can prove via their studies so the engineering of such a majestical speaker is in their own definition: “a rebellion against the status quo in audio. Combining a true diversity of backgrounds and with 30+ years of recording and music making experience, they had set out to push the envelope of what is scientifically possible in loudspeaker design. All with one goal in mind: shorten the gap between you and your art. So you can have no doubts in the choices you make. Simply put, they made the speakers we all want for ourselves. Because no one else did.”

PS: THANKs TO THE VILLAGE DIGITAL AND THE LIVE CANVAS PROJECT FOR OUR GIFT BAG. YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING.

With all that said, who could be the best person to get some sounds out of those monitors that were crafted in our beloved city, Brooklyn to be more specific. 

We needed a passionate, native player with an outstanding knowledge of music production and skills to extract the power of those speakers AT Bill’s Supper Club, concreting our third edition, a movement that is focused on building a new era of art collaborations between all the creative minds as we believe how art is made. We went beyond your thinking and in that way our sponsor for the longest time, the single malt scotch The Glenrothes was together with their brand ambassador Matthew Wozniak as our producer in another evening to enhance the knowledge of our melting pot creative city.

Thank you for the support!
