Introducing my new podcast, The Language of Creativity!
The first episode was taped while recording sessions were ongoing for Lobate Scarp’s newest EP. With in the first 2 minutes, Adam Sears helps Steve come up with the name for the show, on air!
Steve is launching a new venture called I Create Sound aimed at helping DIY musicians and engineers alike hone their sound at a bite sized affordable rate.
With so many projects these days being self-produced and recorded, who do you turn to when you get in over your head or need a second opinion about “Is this sounding good?!”

Female-fronted Progressive Metal act Lucid Fly recorded portions of their first full length album Building Castles In Air at the new I Create Sound studios in Santa Clarita, CA. Steven Leavitt produced and engineered bass guitar and vocals, and the album was mixed by Australia’s Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus).
The album hits hard, but also has a very etherial quality as well.
Lucid Fly just returned from Europe and will be officially releasing the album on November 11.
When European metal band Hortus Animae reunited in 2013 to make their album Secular Music, drummer “Grom” Meragviglia recorded drums with Steve in his California studio.
The record signed to Flicknife records, making this the first official label project Steve has worked on.
How excited we all were to be reviewed in Sound On Sound! And the best part is, they liked the sound!
Unlike the writeup though, singer Jessie Dean, who is quite a talent himself, did not actually engineer or mix the record. That was a misprint which no doubt was due to his impressive resumé working for Blue Microphones.
But hey, I’ll take the compliment!
