“Hi Janet! The masters sound absolutely amazing. I can’t properly express how happy we are with the way these songs sound. It’s almost as if Phil was able to rewrite our songs thru his mastery. We were all drawn into the songs as if we had never heard them before. Please give your husband a big kiss for us! \ud83d\ude09

“Hi Phil and Janet:
\nJust finished listening to the red book master CD of Maps – Burned or Lost on my livingroom stereo! Wow! I must say Phil it is one of the best sounding recordings I have ever heard in any genre. And we seem to traverse a few genres.  So much depth to the mix. All of the instruments and vocals stand out just as they should! Bravo! Mastering to  2 inch analogue tape was a great idea.  I haven’t heard it except for one song, but I bet the new U2 record doesn’t sound half as good. The musicianship is outstanding on our album. Everyone really stepped up to the plate. And Phil, you were the maestro that made it all happen, with great vision for the whole amidst many moving parts. Thanks so much Janet for coordinating such a big project so seamlessly. What a way to end 2017! Happy Holidays! See you both early in 2018!”
\nCheers,

“Hi Janet,
\nNice surprises indeed! Thanks to you and to Phil for the speedy turnaround.
\nI’ve only had a few listens so far, but I’m very happy. This is exactly the smoothing out that my sketchy self-recorded tracks needed. Very nice job.

\u201cthis week is evidence supreme that I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to. simply put, the recording process just doesn’t get any better than this… well crafted songs, world class singer in Tara Holloway and world class engineer\/producer in the guise of Phillip Victor Bova, amazing food all hours of the day prepared by one of the sweetest women I’ve ever met, just divine, Janet Kirby, proper gear for headspace put me where I need be, and this lovely dog, Tasha, sweet lil dickens is also deaf. we connected. snowing like a winter wonderland. and Tara helped me find the badass winter wear… big ass shit that is supremely crafted. reconnected with a person who is very very dear to my heart, Maria Del Mar. Canadian women are S E X Y and SMART. it doesn’t get any better than this. i am the happiest white man on Earth. ooga booga. -d\u201d

\u201cWhen I cut my first record, I was really pleased with the attention and the results from bova sound and Phillip Victor Bova. (I think CKCU and Rachel Hauraney deserve a nod, too, for their support.) The studio has started an internet radio station to feature the work of artists the have made use of it in some or another form (recording, mastering, magic potions with ginger, lemon, and cranberry). I think it’s a great idea, and I’m glad that “High Road” is in rotation. Give it a listen: I can assure you Bova does good work, and you might hear a familiar tune or two in the mix.\u201d

Seriously, one of the best recorded and produced albums I’ve ever heard and I’ve heard thousands and thousands across all genres. Congratulations to you for your truly unique genius.

I remember it as if it were yesterday.  The name of the studio, ironically, was Ambience Recorders (located in downtown Ottawa).  My bass drum was a 20\u201d Camco walnut with front head removed, bare minimum muffling, and tuned low.  The studio owner \/ producer \/ engineer \/ bass player (Phil Bova Sr \u2013 aka:  Phillip Victor Bova) joined me cutting tracks, between songs checking console settings.  At one point, Phil uttered something memorable:  \u201cI know that you\u2019re going to a huge sounds, but then minutes ago on that Latin track you played a bit quieter.  Your bass drum sounded huge compared to now!  Maybe you\u2019re playing so hard the drum is choking.\u201d  The Sky opened that day.  I began working at dropping my volume a couple of dB.  Phil was right.  Interestingly, when I met non-basher Charlie Watts on assignment for Modern Drummer, he had just cut an electronica album with Jim Keltner.  The three of us were seated in Charlie\u2019s lofty mid-town NY hotel room discussing another modern legend, Steve Jordan.  As I recall, both Charlie and Jim had seen Jordan recording and were amazed that Steve played his bass drum relatively quietly yet obtained such a huge kick sound… The point is that if you are not getting your dream sound, and you\u2019ve done all the right things with the drum key, perhaps you sould try lightening up a wee bit.  The laws of nature and acoustics might just conspire and gat you a monster drum sound.  Sure, playing loud feels good, but it\u2019s not always the ticket

“Maps \u2013 Burned or Lost <\/i>is the sixth studio album from Sills & Smith. And although they have produced some mighty fine music in the past, they knock it out of the park with this one … Maps \u2013 Burned or Lost<\/i> is an album to which you should give your undivided attention.
\nWhile earlier albums by Sills & Smith leaned towards a more prog rock sound, this album is almost stripped-bare at times. They have a lot of people helping them out, but producer Phillip Victor Bova (who also provides outstanding bass, keyboards, strings and Hammond organ) has wisely let the songs breathe on their own. He knows when to build up the sound, and he knows when to step back and let Sills & Smith do their own thing.”

“Words really can’t express how much I appreciate every thing both of you have done!
\nWhen I chose Bova Sound, there were a few reasons.  The previous experience I had in Oxford Mills.  The Grand Piano but most important was the fact that both Caroline and Lyne were rookies (they are not now!) and I felt that working with Phil would be best for them.  My intuition certainly proved correct!
\nAnd while I have had some experience in playing in the studio, I have never acted as a producer.  And Phil, thank you so much for jumping in on this role when you feel it necessary!  And thanks to both of you for your kind understanding.  Annie is a Gods send to Lyne!
