Had a fantastic time recording, mixing, and mastering this EP from Seattle psych rock band Peyote Ugly. We tracked drums at Earwig in Wallingford (RIP to that wonderful room, but stoked to see Don’s new place take shape) then the band took that to their home studio and finished off tracking. We mixed everything together over a few days up at my home studio in Bellingham (these are really dense multi-layered tracks and it was great to have input from the band) and then I mastered the EP. Overall, it was a great experience and I’m really proud of how this one turned out; these are some of the most complicated mixes I’ve worked on.
Peyote Ugly - Out of Sight
Did some tracking, mixed and mastered this sing for Seattle psych rockers, Peyote Ugly. Had a great time track drums with the band at Earwig’s old location in Wallingford Seattle. Probably the final thing I got to track their before Don moved down south. Check out the amazing music video below and stream it on your favorite (not Spotify) streaming service!
Cuttlefish - Monsoon
Engineered, mixed, and mastered this single from Bellingham groovy rockers Cuttlefish. Additional engineering on “Monsoon” by Aedan Humphreys. Always a great time recording with these lovely young lads. Tracking done at the Salish Sea Studio in Fairhaven College and Champion Street Sound Studios in downtown Bellingham.
The Skellys - Coma
Mastered this album for Bellingham psychedelic rockers The Skellys. Really cool eclectic bunch of songs that span from Tame Impala-esque grooves to Düngen-esque psychadelic freakouts. The band has since broken up, but hopefully they all continue playing music separately!
Actress - Skin
Had a great time working with Bellingham indie rockers, Actress, on this Single. We tracked the majority of this song with some of my students at Champion Street Sound Studios in 2023 and I later mixed and mastered it for the band.
Frog Rocket - Chickadee
Mastered this song for Bellingham indie rockers, Frog Rocket.
Actress - Inside
Did some tracking, mixed, & mastered this single for Bellingham indie rockers, Actress. Always great to work with young musicians on their first studio releases and it was great working with folks with such drive and ambition, as well as a great ear for details when we were working on mixes. They put on a great live show too, go check them out!
Cuttlefish - Live at Fairhaven Studio
Mixed and mastered these two live in-studio performances by Bellingham band Cuttlefish. Spaghetti Western was tracked by one of my students, Aedan Humphreys, while Wasted was recorded by myself. Both were recorded live at the Salish Studio in Fairhaven College where I teach audio production.
Full Color Dream - Grouse
I mastered this record for Bellingham band, Full Color Dream.
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.
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.
Fog Bodies - Subterranean
Mastered this EP for new Bellingham band Fog Bodies. Tracks were recorded and mixed by the talented Kelly Sorbel.
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.
The Sheen - Holocene Rolodex
Recorded, mixed, and mastered this album for Bellingham psych noise band The Sheen. Tracked live at Champion Street Sound Studios with the assistance of some of my students. Mixed and mastered back here at the home studio.
Sinflower - Mostly Resentments
Mastered this album for Bellingham Singer/Songwriter Sinflower.
Adam Greenberg - Rain In the River
Mastered this single for Bellingham-based producer/artist Adam Greenberg. Had some fun using the Fostex tape machine to add some tasty analog vibes to this track.
Hello, World!
Fossil Fire - Luna
Had a great little session here at the home studio mastering this album for Fossil Fire.
