Producer/Engineer that works on a variety of genres

Mike Hari Demo Reel

      I am a photographer and music producer/engineer in Chicago. The large file I've posted here (47mins) contains a series of song clips from a wide variety of music projects I've worked on over the last decade plus. Some bands/artists only have a clip or two, some have a handful because we did so much work together over the course of multiple projects. Some clips are from within the last year, a few are from 5-10 years ago. They are mixed throughout and are not placed chronologically in this compilation. 
     Almost all the songs were engineered, edited, and mixed by me. Most of them co-produced or produced, and a few of them were mostly tracked by others and I just edited and/or mixed them. If you have any questions about what I contributed to a particular clip or group of them, I'd be happy to share as much info as possible. 
     There are a wide variety of budgets, from pretty small to fairly large. This often dictated the spaces and studios we recorded and mixed in. I have done some recording and mixing work at my home or other alternative spaces, and lots of it in pro studios (listed below). This compilation does not include all of the work I've done, but a cross section of varying styles of recording and genres of music that reflect some of my favorite people and projects I've worked with/on, and the type of projects I'd like to work on in the future. 
     Not all of it is perfect, but there are so many strong moments and performances that I've been fortunate enough to capture, that I didn't want a project's small budget to preclude a clip or two from being a part of this group of songs. 
      If you want to hear more of the 'rock' projects, start at the beginning. The more laid back stuff starts somewhat in the middle, leading to some country and singer/songwriter projects towards the end. 

Some of the studios I have worked at (mostly) as a freelance producer/engineer:
-Rosebud
-Gravity
-I.V. Lab
-Smart
-Pragma
-Fullerton
-Electrical Audio

Mastering studios where most of these projects were sent:
-Gravity
-Sterling Sound

Thanks for listening!
