Had the pleasure of working with my friends in LiStitch on their second full-length record. We tracked the whole album in their garage and my home studio over the course of a few weeks and then mixed it all here at my home studio as well. Mastered at Black Belt Mastering.
Laamb - Seagullville 2
Had a great time producing, mixing, and mastering this record for Seattle band Laamb. Tracked everything down at The Unknown Recording Studio in Anacortes and then mixed and mastered everything up at my home studio in Bellingham. Had a great time making ridiculous loud guitar sounds with these guys.
Forest Ray - Windfucker (Jebivjetar)
Took another couple trips down to Jackpot! Studios down in Portland, OR to mix this wonderful record with Peter from Forest Ray. This album hit me in a different way than a lot of his older material that we’ve collaborated on. It’s more sentimental, more heartfelt, and more reflective than his older albums and I think it goes a long way in showcasing his growing maturity as a songwriter and as a musician. This is a delightful album for lovers of classic rock, country, psych rock, and music theory. All mixing was done from 2” 24-track tape down to 1/4” 2-track through Jackpot’s Neve summing console with me and Peter riding the faders all the way. Pure analog spontaneity.
fine - don't talk, just be hot
Had a wonderful time tracking and mixing this record for Seattle band, fine. Keith and I have known each other for a long time and I’ve always really liked fine’s brand of noisy art-rock so I was very excited when they reached out to me about tracking an album. We were able to get into Earwig in Seattle for one of my last sessions there before they closed up in December and I just love the way the organic room sound made a nice imprint on the vibe of the record.
Laamb - Bam Bam/FJ
Recorded, mixed, and mastered this single/b-side for Seattle rockers, Laamb. Had a great time tracking this down at The Unknown in Anacortes over a weekend. Mixing for this was fun, as I wanted to create a huge drum sound without relying on sample reinforcement. These songs will also be featured on a forthcoming album by the band.
Stillvettas - Greatest Hits So Far
Mixed this album for Bellingham rockers the Stillvettas. Great fun and collaborative process to work with them again. They recorded all the tracks at their practice space themselves and brought me in to mix.
Cat Positive - Same Space
Recorded, mixed, and mastered this single for my band, Cat Positive, that I play guitar in. Recorded with the assistance of my students in the Audio Technology, Music, and Society program at Fairhaven College. Whitney Flinn of Cat Valley sang guest vocals on this one too!
Cat Valley - Bingo Queen
Recorded and mixed this album for Bellingham band Cat Valley. Recorded drums and most of the bass at Champion Street Sound Studios in Bellingham, all guitars and vocals done in my home studio. Loved to see the band push itself with this one!
No-Fi Soul Rebellion
Had the pleasure of mastering this single/b-side for Bellingham legends No-Fi Soul Rebellion. Fun to work with a band that I’ve been seeing live since probably middle school.
Forest Ray - Wait Any Longer
I mixed and mastered this Single off an upcoming album for Seattle psych-rock band Forest Ray. As with nearly all of their music, this song was tracked and mixed completely analog from 2” 24-track tape down to 1/4” 2-track. We mixed this album at Jackpot! Recording Studio in Portland, OR over the course of 6 long days.
Hockey Teeth - Dialtone
Recorded and mixed this song off of the new EP by Seattle indie-pop rockers Hockey Teeth. This song was tracked entirely in one day at Earwig down in Seattle and then mixed up in my home studio up in Bellingham.
Spine Readers - Fixing My Remains
Brought Bellingham band Spine Readers down to Seattle to record this track at Earwig Studios in Wallingford. We were able to get everything needed tracked for this song before the band had load in for a gig in Bellingham that night! They then took the tracks home and mixed it on their own. Check out the rest of the album too!
Slag Hive - S/T EP
Recorded drums, some guitar and vocals, mixed, and mastered this track by new Bellingham experimental death metal band Slag Hive featuring members of Rooftops, Dog Shredder/Wild Throne, and Ritual Killing. Additional tracking by Bobby Yost and the band members. Super fun to work on another heavy project after a long stretch of other genres. Very happy with how this one turned out.
Fog Bodies - Subterranean
Mastered this EP for new Bellingham band Fog Bodies. Tracks were recorded and mixed by the talented Kelly Sorbel.
Forest Ray - Please Be Nice To Me (Single)
Mixed this track fully analog at Jackpot! Studios in Portland, OR. Recorded on 2” 24-track by Forest Ray and mixed down to 1/4” 2-track. Music video by the talented folks at Walking Distance Media.
Myonia - The Kingdom is Empty
Produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered this album for Bellingham heavy rockers Myonia (formerly Akrasia). Had a great time working on the ripper of an album with these fun lads. Tracking was all done at Champion Street Sound Studios in Bellingham, WA and all the mixing/mastering was done in my home studio.
Forest Ray - Hard to Quit (Banjira)
Partially engineered, mixed, and mastered this song for Seattle-based psych-pop-rock band Forest Ray. Had a real fun time on this one tracking in their basement studio and mixing at Jackpot! in Portland; all completely analog. Had to figure out how to use varispeed on the tape machine to tune the banjira from 432Hz to standard 440Hz tuning!
Tyson Ballew - Book of Poetry
Helped produce and record this song by Tyson Ballew for my friend’s (Tyson’s partner) birthday with my partner Whitney Flinn (Hooves and Beak, Cat Valley). Great fun all around working in my little home studio on this.
Adam Greenberg - Red Green Blue
Mastered this track for Bellingham songwriter/producer Adam Greenberg.
Plash - Market
Tracked this song for Seattle math rockers, Plash, live to 4-track 1/2” tape. All processing/mixing for the instrumentals were done on the fly as we tracked, with minimal overdubbing for vocals and guitar. Big thanks to my students Maxwell Lemke and Gabe Whisman for their assistance in the studio. Buy the song on their bandcamp!
