ABOUT US

Anthony J. Resta is a versatile music professional. His ear for an eclectic range of sounds and musical styles, is drawing more and more attention to his work each year.

Anthony is known for weaving together pieces of obscure samples from vinyl with twisted vintage analog synth sounds and melding them seamlessly into an artist's live performances. These skills are attracting both established and new up and coming cutting edge artists into Anthony's "sci fi mambo liquid centre lab".

Based at his 1300 square foot office/MIDI studio, "BOPNIQUE MUSIQUE" just west of Boston, Resta is writing and producing for a growing number and variety of artists. Highlights include mixing, additional production, programming and live drums on nearly thirty tracks (including remixes) for DURAN DURAN, as well as production and/or programming work for COLLECTIVE SOUL, SHAWN MULLINS, SPLASHDOWN, LETTERS TO CLEO, TV MANIA, BLONDIE, SIBERIA, NUNO BETTENCOURT, MISSING PERSONS, THE ELEVATOR DROPS, SUZE DEMARCHI, PETER WOLF,THE MUDHENS, SHELTER, MEGADETH, GUSTER, ANNETTE KRAMER and ALISA CARROLL.

In 1999 Anthony was nominated for a Boston Music Award, in the "PRODUCER OF THE YEAR" category.
