Mixed, mastered, and did some production/tracking for this song by funky Bellingham pop rockers Cuttlefish.
Myrrum - S/T
Engineered, produced, and mixed this record for Seattle post rock band Myrrum. Tracked at The Unknown in Anacortes, WA and Champion Street Sound Studios in Bellingham, WA. Mixed at my home studio and mastered by Rachel Field at Resonant Mastering in Seattle, WA. In loving memory of Brian T. Boyle.
This is one of my favorite records I’ve ever been a part of. I love everything about it and it was such an incredible process to be a part of. The amount of mutual trust between me and the band and the friendships that blossomed out of this record are things that I will treasure forever.
Piety - Tree of Life I
Recorded, mixed, and mastered this album for Bellingham indie rock band Piety. Tracked at Champion Street Sound Studios. Played bass on a few songs too!
Whiskey Class - Forgotten
Had the pleasure of working with Seattle band Whiskey Class again on this track. Recorded at the Unknown in Anacortes and mixed at my home studio in Bellingham. Mastered by the incomparable Rick Fisher.
Peyote Ugly - Beyond the Great Divide
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.
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.
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.
Energy Pyramid - Levels
Mixed this record for anonymous Bellingham instrumental rockers Energy Pyramid.
Hello, World!
Kotlovan - Mementos
Had the pleasure of mixing this incredibly dense, layered, and lovely album for Everett artist Kotlovan. This album has such a wide variety of sounds and is unorthodox in all the best ways. Had a fun time implenting my own special version of the “Brauerize” technique with this one - tons of crazy FX and parallel buses and absolutely massive sessions.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
