A while back one of my very best friends and I started up a just for fun musical project, and for lack of a better name called it Adam and Adam haha. It started as a duet of Acoustic Guitar and Hammered Dulcimer, but quickly grew to being anything we felt like throwing in the mix. We are known for going out on a limb and trying any musical ideas that excite us, and it is always a ton of fun to play music together. This tune represents one of the first things we ever tried together, which spawned it all. One of my favorite ballads of all time, Somebody by Depeche Mode, done in our own unique way.

Somebody by Adam & Adam - Depeche Mode(cover) - Produced, Recorded, Mixed, Dulcimer by Adam Howe

Back before I was producing other peoples music, I spent a decade playing guitar with my band Nimbus, which will always be dear to my heart. <3 We were a sort of 90's inspired Alt Rock band, and this tune showcases some our heavier side.

Liar Pt. II by Nimbus - Co-Written, Co-Produced, Guitar by Adam Howe

This track has some of my favorite guitar sounds that we captured on the Nimbus album. It was an honor working with producer Rae Dileo (Filter, Veruca Salt)who really helped us capture some magic. The basic tracks for the entire album were all recorded live  in the studio, then some overdubs done later. A magical experience I will never forget.

Lost & Found by Nimbus - Co-Written, Co-Produced, Guitar by Adam Howe

Long ago in a land far away, there lived a band called Nimbus. We had a song with the banjo, an it became our most popular song. I can never describe the experience of what a club full of people singing your song back to you feels like, but it happened on that tune many times. So blessed for those memories.

Out of Here by Nimbus - Co-Written, Co-Produced, Banjo by Adam Howe

Long before I was producing music for other people, I had the honor of playing guitar in a band, and learning everything that led up to me knowing how to produce, with some of the best musicians I know, including my brother, David. This song was a ballad that I admit I didn't enjoy playing live as much at the time, but now has become one of my very favorites of all the recordings we made for this album.

Sofie Rockhold is a very talented young singer who I met because she is the of sister of a longtime student of mine Shane Rockhold "Apollo" (who is now a great producer in his own right). Shane accompanies his sister on acoustic guitar on this lovely rendition of Save Me by Aimee Mann, rounded out with me performing the rest. Sofie chose this as the first project to work on together and I think she did absolutely amazing! Look for a video of this cover coming soon to YouTube...

Sunken Desolation (Suspense Cue) - Written, Performed, Programmed, Recorded, Mixed by Adam Howe

Written by Adele and Paul Epworth. All rights belong to them.

A re-imagined version of Skyfall with Sydney Easton on vocals, featuring analog synth guru Greg Ripes who provided an immense amount of cool programming, ear candy, sound design, analog and modular synths, and more! This was created many years ago, but finally got dusted off and re-mixed recently, and I am proud of the mixing on this one as it is a very dense mix and provided a great challenge. So without further ado, here ya go...

Long ago, a trio of friends working in a band at the time called Sparrow got excited about this Adele cover and decided to record it. Years later the vocals got re recorded, and a couple years after that it finally got a proper mix. Sometimes good things take time haha. This one features Sydney Easton's remarkable talent for vocal harmonies.

Step Brother are a group of extremely talented fellows from Claremont, California who found their way into my studio one day, and somehow came back for more torture. This time for an acoustic Ep from their singer Wil.  He came in and busted out 2 songs which we recorded live on the floor (with a couple vocal overdubs). Always great working with these dudes!

I have known Trevan since My band Nimbus played at his high school when he was in 10th grade, and he has become a trusted friend and collaborator and is one of the most talented cats I know. Here is a stellar ballad he wrote from an acoustic album we recorded together earlier this year. This one belongs in a movie.

Kiss All Your Tears Away by Trevan - Co Produced, Recorded, Co-Mixed by Adam Howe

I am so grateful to Warren Huart and all over at Produce like a Pro for everything they do to help budding audio engineers, including sometimes giving away free multi tracks to mix. This one caught my ear and I decided to go for it, as I had never mixed anything quite like this before. A soulful, jazzy, piano based singer songwriter approach, with upright bass, all recorded live on the floor so everything had tons of bleed. I think this was in conjunction with Lauten Mics and that all the mics used are Lautens personaly owned by Producer Darrell Thorp, if I am not mistaken. I added some acoustic guitar to fill in the mix a bit. Here is my take on it...
