I've always wanted to make a cover of this tune... one of my favorite tracks from Nick Drake.

River Man (cover)

My first full logic project.  I used acoustic guitar, keyboard (nord sv-1), trumpet with effects, and some software drums.

Playing around with my new Micro Synth, doing a quick cover of a Major Lazer song called "Get Free".

Get Free (Effects Demo)

Spontaneous jam with some great players.  This was the first thing we put down playing together.

Minor/Major

First edit from our Nov 5th recording session.  This was probably one of the weirder things we recorded, but has a fun sound to it.  Kind of like metal jazz, if such a thing existed.... 

Mean Ol Dub

Another sample from the Nov 5th recording.  This is another one that we just came up with as we went along.  Jon, Steve, and Mike put down some really nice layers while I fumble around for a while until setting a loop that I then tweak for the last 5 minutes of the song or so.  If recording again, I would definitely record a clean vs. of the trumpet without effects.  Feels way to heavy on this song in particular.

Lieutenant Sumo

Something for the holidays, playing background chords on guitar and the melody on trumpet.

Christmas Song

Little Sunflower (duo with Matt Skellenger).wav

Matt Skellenger Group Live on KUVO (4.26.19)

Playing some trumpet with Electronic group, "Deep Ocean Creature".  I'm playing live for the first ~30% then and then looping and tweaking the sound for the rest, including use of Eventide ModFactor, heavy use of the Undulation function.  Enjoy!

Slow Sky - w/ Deep Ocean Creature

Improved recording of Autumn Leaves using the Harmonizer.  
The guitar and harmonizer choices come through much better on this version.  I pre-recorded the guitar accompaniment myself with a Boss RC-300 then ran the Electro Harmonix Voice Box Harmonizer through it will playing trumpet over the recording

Autumn Leaves with Harmonizer

Recording of Monk's "Well You Needn't" with Tony Sodano on Bass, Jason Graczyx on Guitar, and Jon Goneau on the keys. 

Well You Needn't

Recording with the Vinyl Logic guys of "People Make the World Go Round"... 

People Make the World Go Round

Cut of just the trumpet solo on "Red Baron"... this is the closest I've gotten my trumpet to sound like a guitar I think... 

Red Baron (trumpet solo)

Toughest changes... thanks Chick Corea!  w/ the WSU Big Band my freshman year of college.  

Tones for Joans Bones

Live recording of Brian Heaney's tune "Fingerhut", trumpet solo with DL4 and Morely Wah pedal.

Fingerhut (trumpet wah solo)

Live recording of "Loose Metal", a collaboration from the Black Math Quartet days... loved playing with this group.  Rock Trumpet!
