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.

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.

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!

Forest Ray - Wait Any Longer

I mixed and mastered this Single off an upcoming album for Seattle psych-rock band Forest Ray.

Recording Studio in Portland, OR over the course of 6 long days.

Spine Readers - Fixing My Remains

Brought Bellingham band Spine Readers down to Seattle to record this track at Earwig Studios in Wallingford.

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!

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!
