TYLER WILKINSON
Engineer

Probably the most good natured person you'll ever encounter, Tyler is a "grab the bull by the horns," "can do," pro.  He graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Hartford Conservatory as a Recording Arts Major after attending University of CT as an undergrad.  For the few years prior to arriving at Trod Nossel, Tyler was a freelance eningeer on various recording projects in the genres of jazz, rock, metal, latin and hip hop, both in the studio as well as live sound.  He is a multi-talented, working musician, and can play the guitar and drums, as well as sing and write songs.  He is currently working on some original material in the studio.  Tyler dove head first into his position here at Trod and has honed his existing knowledge of Pro Tools, as well as some new mastering techniques.  It didn't take long for Tyler to get acclimated here with his ability to jump in and turn a challenge into great-sounding music.  Some of Tyler's recent Trod Nossel clients include veterans Freddy Parris and Sam Goldman of the famous 5 Satins, as well as Jamey Jasta and MTV.  Though his forte is pop, R&B and Hip Hop, he is interested and capable of any kind of recording, tracking, mixing and/or mastering work.  Tyler is available for your next project at Trod Nossel.

DONALD LANGELLA
Studio Manager

What do you get when you combine the Vice President of a multi-million dollar Corporation with a Singer/Songwriter & Working Musician? Why, a Trod Nossel Studio Manager, of course.  When Don Langella, retired Corporate brass, approached Trod Nossel saying he was probably the "least likely" fit for the studio manager position, he couldn't have been more wrong.  Don came to us out of retirement of a long stint as the Vice President of a fine wine corporation in Manhattan to plant himself in the very heart of what is, and has been, his life-long passion; music.  Aside from the organizational and business expertise and invaluable wisdom he brings to Trod Nossel, Don is also an accomplished and worthy working musician, singer and songwriter, and has been since the 60s.  He is currently working on a CD with his band, 101 (www.101theband.com), and will be going back into the studio to work on a new CD this month.  On the flip side, as a Trod Nossel studio manager, Don is a true people person.  He brings to our clients' projects unbridled interest and enthusiasm and treats each client project as if it were his own.  He is extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in all aspects of the recording process, and can offer sound advice, as an artist himself, and as a consultant throughout the project, from start to finish.  He has a degree from Quinnipiac University with a major in Psychology and minor in English.  There is literally not enough room in this newsletter to list all of his accomplishments.  Don is a dedicated family man, a mentor and coach, and has been a catalyst and "inspiration" for some close friends and family's success.  Don's outside interests and expertise include fine food and wine.
