Recorded 2003 - unreleased
I engineered and mixed this recording for MI band The Last Broadcast

The Last Broadcast - The Wren (2003)

Recorded 2007
I engineered, mixed, and mastered this track.
I had the privilege of tracking the first three releases by this band, contributing production and the occasional guitar playing. Fantastic friends and fond memories. We improvised with basements, airplane hangers, closets, and apartment living rooms to make each record happen.

The Skies Revolt - She Had To (2007)

Recorded 2011
I engineered and mixed this track. This is my print that was sent to Al McAvoy for mastering the release.
The song appears on a 5-song EP that I co-wrote and played guitar on shortly before I left the band.

The Water Clocks - Broken (2011)

Recorded 2004
I engineered, mixed, and mastered this track.
Joust was a MI band, and this song opened a 7-song EP that I produced for my friends as their farewell release. It was my first time recording more than one song for a band I wasn't in.

Joust - Right On, Keral Jean (2004)

Recorded 2005
I engineered, mixed, and mastered this track.
The Sleeping Tribune was a MI band, and this song closed out a 5-song EP I produced for them. This was an interesting album to record, with most of the tracking taking place during evenings in the summer at an unused, non-air conditioned church sanctuary. This song wasn't quite ready to track during initial sessions and was to be left off, but we tried it again during overdubs and ended up recording all the instruments in my bedroom over two days.

The Sleeping Tribune - Microwave Employment (2005)

Recorded 2006
I engineered and mixed this live recording, and added bass during mixing. I played drums in Ménage, a MI instrumental band.

Ménage - What Happens When You Say Yes? (2006)

Recorded 2008
2008 was a slow year! I did this in an afternoon on my own after falling in love with a Miley Cyrus radio single. Drums were tracked into the built-in mic on my 12" PowerBook G4.

Matthew Ellis - See You Again (cover) (2008)

Fans of Benny's band Joust know that those four guys were and are about so much more than the music, and I was always thrilled when I had an opportunity to be around to capture the songs that grew out of their friendship. We recorded this track in Isaiah's basement a while after the band broke up and it's one of my favorites--I especially love Benny's playing on it. He moves the song along so confidently and showcases his dynamic range in a way that most of their songs couldn't. We didn't really polish it and to my memory it wasn't released, but I made this mix at the time for the band. I was aimlessly recording a room mic while the guys watched the World Series and caught their reaction to a crucial home run, and thought it was a perfect way to summarize the recording session and kick off the song. Love you Benny--I am still a shameless promoter of your life, your music, and believe in Isaiah's prophecy that Joust will continue to discover new listeners many years past the farewell show.
