Welcome to Anvil Records
Gregory Galfo records audio for musicians and indie bands. He produces and/or manages indie music artists, does live sound, studio recording, mixing, and mastering.
Mr. Galfo also teaches audio recording and photography.
During his teen years, he became interested in recording audio and started recording using a "reel to reel" Sony tape recording deck. Soon after, he learned how to do multi track recording using a simple 4 channel mixer. Over the decades he progressed with technology into the digital age but still uses some analog recording methods as well.
Galfo picked up the acoustic guitar at the age of 17 studying under his mentor (and roommate), guitarist/poet, Rafael Lorenzo, in Williamsburg, Virginia. Although he made his living for the next few decades with his talent as a photographer, he never lost his love for recording audio and playing music.
In 1997, he moved away from photography to manage a large (privately owned) music store in South Florida. Galfo began playing multiple instruments and developing his vocal range and style. He also devoted his spare time to studying live sound reinforcement, advanced recording techniques, artist management, and music marketing.
In 2004, he was noticed by Virginia Wagner, a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter from Greenwich Village, New York. He began managing Wagner's music, and was chosen by Anvil Records to produce her 2007 release, Darkness Visible. Galfo managed the Darkness Visible tour and was subsequently chosen for the position of Producer/Engineer by Anvil.
After doing the sound reinforcement for Wagner's tour, he continued recording, mixing, and mastering Anvil Records artists, indie artists, solo musicians, and bands. To stay well rounded with many styles of music, he works with musical artists in multiple genres including Singer-Songwriter, Acoustic, Folk, Country, Bluegrass, Classical, Jazz, Blues, Christian, Rock, Metal, and Alternative. His experience includes recording and engineering Live Sound, Spoken Word, Concerts, Music Festivals, Recitals, Interviews, and Business Conventions. His work on location, includes,university campuses, classrooms, places of worship, concert halls, music venues, taverns, and theaters,
He continues working on a collection of Wagner's back catalog, his own back catalog, publishing, and pursuing licensing opportunities for Queen of Swords Music (Wagner's publishing company).
"It's a balancing act," says Galfo. " Maintaining enthusiasm in each area is a great challenge but rewarding and it produces the drive that I have to go forward and be productive."
" I love music, and the people that play music."
" Recording music is a lifelong passion that I will never outgrow."
" Fans, Musicians, Producers, and Audio Engineers will pass away, but music is infinite."
