It\u2019s always music forward for Pierre Grill, who remains one of Hawai\u2018i\u2019s best sound engineers and producers after 40 years.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Tucked away in the arboreal landscape of M\u0101noa Valley is a fertile atelier that\u2019s billed as the longest-running music studio in the islands.<\/p>\n

Rendez-Vous Recording is rooted near the end of Beaumont Woods Place, a winding road that leads visitors ever upward along Wa\u2018ahila Ridge. Those who enter its doors are treated to a c\u2019est magnifique experience and feast of the senses, courtesy of an owner with an adorably thick French accent who showers guests with avocado for their taste buds, eclectic artwork for their eyes and a musical smorgasbord for their ears.<\/p>\n

Pierre Grill entertains diners every Wednesday at The Signature Prime Steak & Seafood restaurant in Ala Moana Hotel. Here, he tickles the ivories on a grand piano from his studio\u2019s loft in M\u0101noa.
<\/p><\/div>\n

For more than four decades, Pierre Grill has been all about the sound, serving as producer and engineer extraordinaire for a number of Hawai\u2018i\u2019s finest musicians as well as its lesser-known talent. In making magic within the confines of a spacious studio that features vaulted ceilings and bamboo accents, Grill puts recording artists at their creative best through an assortment of inspirational wall-hanging masks, tapa coverings, old concert fliers, and gicl\u00e9e and original paintings. The latter are positioned throughout his workplace and range from a reggae-colored print with the encouraging words \u201cMusic Forward!\u201d on it to a dissonant depiction of an individual (a gift from his brother) that Grill titled Schizophrenia<\/em> and once used it for an album cover.<\/p>\n

More appreciably, Grill offers his clientele the latest in recording software and equipment, as well as access to a bevy of his choicest instruments. Among his collection are Toca congas to bang on, Fender Telecaster and Michael Kelly electric guitars to riff on, Kamaka and Kala \u2018ukulele to strum on, and a vintage Hammond B3 organ and 7-foot Bald-win grand piano \u2014 which rests comfortably in a loft overlooking the studio \u2014 to plink on.<\/p>\n

Pierre Grill entertains diners every Wednesday at The Signature Prime Steak & Seafood restaurant in Ala Moana Hotel. Here, he tickles the ivories on a grand piano from his studio\u2019s loft in M\u0101noa.
<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cMy setup is by now the best ever, combining very classic instruments and vintage gear with the latest software,\u201d explains Grill, who initially opened his recording business on Kona Street in Honolulu before relocating to M\u0101noa in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll that was not even a dream 40 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

A lifetime spent accumulating just about every electronic device and musical part imaginable has compelled him to squirrel them away in drawers and around every corner. Even microphone stands have become ubiquitous in his studio.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll my life I never had enough mic stands,\u201d laments Grill, pausing to scan the number of freestanding mounts in front of him before letting out a heavy sigh. \u201cI feel like an idiot. I now have more than I need \u2014 too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not that any recording artist has ever complained about the surplus of equipment at Rendez-Vous. If anything, the abundance is just one of the reasons why musicians from near and far have flocked to his studio over the decades. In recent months, they have included \u2018ukulele ace Taimane, who just released her latest CD, Hawaiki<\/em>, on which Grill served as assistant producer and engineer; Sun Hui, a Taiwanese-born erhu player and N\u0101 H\u014dk\u016b Hanohano Award winner; slack-key guitarist Stephen Inglis; singer-songwriter Maka Esteban, who Grill calls \u201can amazing karaoke winner in Las Vegas\u201d; and New Age singer and \u201csound healer\u201d Ayumi Ueda.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s quite a variety of talents,\u201d notes the experienced producer who\u2019s also a past recipient of N\u0101 H\u014dk\u016b Hanohano honors in sound engineering.<\/p>\n

For Grill, each decade has had its trend of musical forms that have caught his ear and inspired him to jump into. In the early to mid-\u201980s, he chose to record local metal groups such as Sacred Rite and Marty Friedman (a guitarist with the bands Hawai\u2018i and Megadeth); later, he welcomed bookings with Christian and country musicians. By the following decade, however, he found himself gravitating toward Jawaiian music following its explosion in the islands.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my busiest era with (acts) like Willie K, Kapena, Danny Couch, Del Beazley, Ka\u2018au Crater Boys and more,\u201d Grill recalls. \u201cMy studio at one time was booked one month in advance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2000s featured recording sessions with a new batch of various local talent \u2014 Makana, Kristian Lei, Ginai and Streetlight Cadence among the notables. Even famous opera types such as baritone Quinn Kelsey came calling for his services. Since then, Grill has continued to offer his experienced ears and deft touch to anyone willing to be guided by his sometimes laissez-faire approach to recording music, which includes not correcting every little supposed gaffe.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou bring in a sh—y sound, badly played and stuff, and if it makes your song go up, leave it alone \u2014 it sounds fine,\u201d explains the self-described lover of free jazz and atonal music. \u201cIf you fix it, you will (screw) it up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not worried about mistakes,\u201d he adds. \u201cMusic is supposed to be fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, Grill didn\u2019t always feel that way about mistakes. Soon after meeting Willie K in 1990 and beginning work on the musician\u2019s seminal album Kahaiali\u2018i<\/em>, he recalls questioning the singer\u2019s pitch during one early recording session.<\/p>\n

\u201cWillie comes from the old school, Motown, where the backup is slightly flat,\u201d Grill says. \u201cSo, we\u2019re recording and I tell him, \u2018I think you\u2019re a little bit flat.\u2019 He then looks at me and sings a few parts all in tune \u2014 and he sounds like sh–! So he asks me, \u2018Is that what you want?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

It was an extraordinary moment for Grill, who came to realize that sour notes aren\u2019t necessarily bad.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn some situations, the flat note sounds just right,\u201d Grill further explains. \u201cThe flat pitch changes the feel, but it doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s wrong. There\u2019s nothing wrong in art. It\u2019s what works and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Willie, his backup singing was phenomenal \u2026 he was way beyond most people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat whole album, we arranged everything together, all his hit songs,\u201d continues Grill while remembering those days of recording with his gifted friend, who died in 2020. \u201cI never worked with anyone close (in musical ability) to Willie. To me, he is our best talent ever, and it was a joy to work with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

That includes those delightful and humorous moments outside of the studio while they entertained live audiences together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been on the stage with him at the piano and I remember the first time we played together and somebody called out, \u2018Ho, who da haole guy ova dea?!\u2019\u201d recalls Grill with a soft chuckle. \u201cWillie looks over at the guy and says, \u2018He ain\u2019t haole \u2014 he\u2019s French!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Grill is quite the musician himself. For the past 10 years, he\u2019s been a constant at The Signature restaurant in Ala Moana Hotel, where he tickles the ivories every Wednesday evening for diners. He\u2019s also a gifted one-man band whose performances \u2014 in which he simultaneously plays a trumpet or trombone with his right hand and piano with his left, all while controlling bass pedals with his feet \u2014 can be viewed on YouTube.<\/p>\n

And wherever and whenever there\u2019s an opportunity, he gladly performs with his band, Pierre and the Oompahs. Their next show is slated for this weekend (6-9:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22) during the Oktoberfest fundraiser at Mary, Star of the Sea School in K\u0101hala. The event will showcase the quartet playing traditional German and polka music, and leading the ever-popular chicken dance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always worked at making music (and) my one-man band act is pretty much unique,\u201d explains Grill, who\u2019s produced his share of original compositions as well as released his own albums, including his latest, Jazz Vignettes<\/em>. \u201cI also ventured into classical composition with a 6-minute-long ballet piece, putting me in the shoes of the classic composers \u2014 (but) without their talent and with no formal training!\u201d<\/p>\n

For as much time as he spends in his studio, Grill also passes many hours laboring just outside of its confines. Located behind Rendez-Vous is his latest and possibly greatest composition: a garden full of avocado trees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the best part of the property,\u201d he says, stepping onto a deck that overlooks the many trees below and beaming with pride at their growth. \u201cThis is how you know you\u2019re not in New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grill says he got into gardening some time ago, in part because he wanted to \u201cprovide fruits for the neighbors.\u201d But there was another reason why the recently turned septuagenarian decided to embrace the farm life.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince it is M\u0101noa, everything here is a full aerobic exercise that I enjoy very much,\u201d he shares, moving his long, branch-like arms back and forth as if he\u2019s getting ready for another gardening workout. \u201cThis is my exercise, my gym.\u201d<\/p>\n

In considering his lengthy career in the music business, Grill admits that part of his success can be attributed to his resourcefulness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat kept me in business is I know a few things about a lot of things,\u201d says the man who was born in a small French village within St. Laurent De Cerdans, located in the Eastern Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es, and moved to the islands on Thanksgiving Day 1978. \u201cI fix my computer, I fix my tube amp. One of the reasons I stayed in business all that time was I don\u2019t give up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf something breaks today, tomorrow I\u2019m back in business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ever resilient, Grill has continued to roll with the punches as the music industry has morphed over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe business in its original form almost totally disappeared \u2014 imploded \u2014 and is gradually rebuilding in a completely different form,\u201d he explains. \u201cThe young crowd is enjoying it, but it is even more difficult than ever to make any money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the evolving musical landscape and the challenges that come with it, Grill doesn\u2019t believe he\u2019s anywhere close to cutting his last tracks. If anything, the last few years have been \u201cperfect timing for me,\u201d and allowed him to be more selective about who and what he records.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am working on my semi-retirement anyway and that allows me to pick my clientele and jobs,\u201d he admits. \u201cSo, I\u2019m doing just fine.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
