Joe Vulpis

Joe with Gaga (Dec 18, 2009)

Joe Vulpis is a producer who worked with Stefani Germanotta in 2003 and later, the Stefani Germanotta Band in 2005 to 2006.

Work with Stefani

Joe first met Stefani in 2003 to produce her college application demo for New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. Together they recorded three Jazz standards including Someone to Watch Over Me and Orange Colored Sky. Joe recorded the piano while Tony Di Lullo recorded the vocals.

They started recording in November 2005, and finished the five track demo, Words. When the band was playing at The Bitter End, they also sold the EP until it was sold out. By March of 2006, the first official EP, Red and Blue was available for sale, also produced by Vulpis.

After the two releases, Joe continued to work with Gaga and the band on songs such as "Hollywood" and "Master Heartbreaker" but were only performed live.

In regards to the recording sessions with Gaga, Vulpis mentioned that they had run through many different song ideas that were never finalized.

"There is so much audio footage that has never been released. I mean, like I said, we worked together for such a long time. Months where all we did was just let Pro Tools run half the time and we just let her run things down, and it was a real selective process what she ultimately wanted to finish and mix. But yes, there are hours and hours and hours of tapes that have never even been finalized, so yes. And there's great stuff-whether she was playing solo at the grand piano doing her thing, or the band and her were jamming for hours on end. There's some great stuff, but you know, like you said, it'll be up to her whether or not there's a place or time in the present world"
