I teach sound recording, and this was probably my favorite project that I worked on with my class last year. We tracked all of the instruments live as a class, and then I had everyone create their own mixes. This one is courtesy of a student named Alex. Everything is student produced and performed (with a little help from teach), and there was no use of pre-recorded samples. Everything you hear came out of the classroom. Pretty fun, right?

Advanced Studio Operations Project - Staying Alive (cover)

So I've been recently going through three iPhones worth of music, notes, sounds... I've picked some of my favorite recordings. Most of these were chosen because they are the first day of the tune's life or completely spontaneous music. I cleaned them up and toyed with some of them, but for the most part they are just little cell phone recordings I've collected over the past 6 years. This collection is of some of my favorite guitar noodlings. Some of them are funky to listen to, but I enjoy hearing the songs birth in spite of the audio quality. I hope you enjoy them.

Before The Second One

Almost A Child

Retroactive Cheese Insertion

Newly Wednesday

Perfect Pizz

Riffing In The Yellow Dello

So I've been recently going through three iPhones worth of music, notes, sounds... I've picked some of my favorite recordings. Most of these were chosen because they are the first day of the tune's life or completely spontaneous music. I cleaned them up and toyed with some of them, but for the most part they are just little cell phone recordings I've collected over the past 6 years. This collection is for things falling out of the category of my guitar playing. Songwriting. Part writing on other instruments. Various fun things that need a home. Hope you like it. This one should grow, likely. ;)

Mellowing My Vibe

Drum Idea "Is It Easy?"

Shout From The Rooftops

Empty Carpet Sounds

Happy Holidays everyone. Here's a little jazz track I cut this month to get into the spirit. This is a duo I did with my buddy Stephen on bass and keys, and myself on guitar and drums. We're a two man quartet! We both engineered, I mixed, he mastered, and we had a little assistance from one of our students at the school. Fun times were had by all. Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! All of the fun things!

What Child Is This?

Here is a single off of the upcoming full length solo record, Passing Quiet Through the Night. More to come about that in the future, but for now I must say a huge thanks to Stephen Ellestad for all of his help with mixing and mastering on this tune and all the rest. I am so very pleased with the way things have been turning out. 

Without Me

This is a "karaoke style" cover from one of my favorite bands, twothirtyeight. Usually we encourage our students to develop new arrangements of covers, but as these guys are new audio students I wanted them to pick apart a session note for note, tone for tone. I played all the instruments, and they played the role of engineer creating this cover to hone their skills. Hope you like it! (I'm not an indie rock singer, I know...)
