As improbable as it seems, Shannon and I are actually at home for a couple of months! I cannot underscore strongly enough how THRILLED I am about this. Since we’ve been home, Shannon has booked most of a 50-stop summer tour comprised entirely of house concerts. How mind-blowing is that? Meanwhile, I’m just doing my [...]

South by Southwest was awesome per usual! I ended up mixing a bunch of shows for Cloud Nothings and Zola Jesus. Both great live acts, in very different ways. Tons of fun. Plus we saw Bob Mould playing Copper Blue straight through in its entirety, which was fantastic. He still sounds so good. We’re finally [...]

I hadn’t written in a minute, so I just wanted to post a little update. This has been a cool in-between month for me. I’m between a couple of projects at the moment, laying a lot of groundwork for the coming months, and touring around with Shannon a lot. I’ve done a couple of test [...]

So I ended up actually getting the Pro Tools sessions and redoing the mixes for the first couple songs on the LOFTS record. Holy shit. These songs are seriously amazing. I’ve put one up on my studio page, called “It’s True.” I’m *so excited* for this record to come out. We need to find these [...]

I’m mastering a record today and tomorrow for an excellent band out of New York called LOFTS. Epic MBV-inspired noisy post-rock. Excellent record. I’m excited to share it with you all!

Cool news … I’m finally able to announce that I’ve been hired to make some recordings with an excellent band from San Francisco called dot punto! (Yes, with no capital letters. And I believe a period at the end.) I would call what they do … indie latin pop, perhaps? At any rate it’s going [...]

I’m just finishing up mastering a new EP for an “art rap” artist from San Antonio named Bryson Brooks. That’s his real name! You don’t see a lot of that in rap. It’s probably because he’s primarily a visual artist. How refreshing. The EP is far out. It’s produced by my friend Gordon Raphael (Strokes/Regina [...]

I just sent off a revised master for The Ampersands record, and I’m feeling like this might be the one! I cannot WAIT for you guys to hear this. It’s a really excellent record all the way through. This record was a total labor of love, both on the part of the main Ampersand, Aaron [...]

I did the first couple of rounds of mixes on the new Chris Bathgate record this week. Wow! This is going to be such a cool record. Sorry I haven’t posted in a minute; between touring with Shannon and mixing stuff here it’s been non-stop lately. I also did a test mix this week for [...]

I’m mastering some tracks today & tomorrow for my new friend Gordon Raphael! You might know him from producing records for The Strokes and Regina Spektor, among others. Fun fun.
