What Only You Can Do

How Big Small Can Be

An experiment to try hearing what the Doxology through a vocoder might sound like. A lot of times, experimenting can lead to some really creative tools that can be utilized when producing others! Just a demo recorded at my studio HERAFTER

Voxology

In September 2016, the Heartland Film Festival commissioned me to compose, produce, and record an original jazz piece to serve as the theme score for all their 2016 advertisements. They wanted something "vintage" sounding, and my first thoughts went to the Vince Guaraldi Trio's treatment of "A Charlie Brown Christmas." I sent them a rough demo, and the marketing department loved it. Within the next few days, they had the finished product in hand and have used it successfully to promote and strengthen their brand.

Heartland Film Festival Theme 2016

One of my favorite tracks off this gorgeous-sounding album I mixed in 2015. Colored walls of synthesizers and 80’s era new wave guitars break through Barrows stunningly potent lyrics about redemption and the world that we are living in. So much fun to work with artists who aren't afraid of reverb and delay!! ;) Mixed at my studio HEREAFTER

What an honor it was for me to be able to certain tracks off this album. I have always loved Josh's music, and had an absolute blast mixing this track in particular. We were on a major time crunch as Josh was having the entire album mastered within 4 days of me receiving the files. Although it's a Christmas album, it is perfect for a melancholy mood any time of year. Mixed at my studio HEREAFTER

Just a brief demo of some of the string arrangements I've done lately. A few of these feature some incredible Indianapolis players, and a few are sample libraries (hopefully you won't be able to tell the difference!).

Here are a few examples of some of the "ad" pieces I've worked on recently including some logo work, television spots, and pieces used for underscoring.

Woozy, bluesy, and soulful, "...And Then Some" is a standout new track from artist Melissa Sandullo. Recorded at a small lake cottage where we set up shop for a few days to record her upcoming EP, this single is just the beginning of an incredible release from this powerhouse singer-songwriter.

Stripped back, beautiful, and haunting, Chris Wilson and the Heresy's album "Downfall" was recorded at Steven's studio, Hereafter, in Indianapolis. A perfect example that more does not always mean better, and simplicity can be potent!

"Hush" by Lilly Van Sickle. From "2012 Artist Sampler."

In July 2012, I produced a series of tracks for the label Orangehaus Records. On this track, I was working with an incredibly talented 15-year old Floridian artist named Lilly Van Sickle. On this track, I played acoustic guitar and Rhodes piano. The song had to be recorded at a breakneck speed (it was fully recorded in an hour, and mixed in a subsequent hour) with my friend Chad Evans, but I'm very proud of how it turned out! This shows how important it is to have the right team assembled together for excellent music production. Recorded at Gaither Recording Studios.
