FEATURED
I think the beauty of an
extraordinary record
is found inside the sounds, not polished onto them. My work attemps to look within the tracks, finding tension between impact and detail, technicality and expression.
The idea is to make tracks sound the best they can — but the essence is finding sounds that express your ideas the most.
PRINCIPLES
Texture and Character Oriented
Making things sound good is the foundation of production, mixing and mastering. But in mixing and musicmaking alike, making records goes beyond chasing pretty sounds. I see mixing as yet another layer of life in a piece of music – whether than means carrying a personality of its own, or being the most transparent it can.
Upon booking a mix, we collaboratively decide how to approach its role in the music. It might be a chance to paint the sonics around a track's ideas, or simply follow the production, rebalancing and making the sounds pop.
For the age of the independent record
Music tech and education are at their most democratic ever. Therefore, recording independently or in a commercial studio can sometimes like picking a flavor, rather than defining the record’s quality.
Whether you're tracking at a studio's 'A' room or intimately capturing takes in a home studio, we'll aknowledge and make the most of the recordings' true vibe.
Into the Music
I am very passionate about co-production, perhaps weirdly so. Sometimes, just dipping back into talks about the creative process, rethinking an instrument or redesigning a patch can be the most impactful way of reaffirming the track's character.
If you book a Production session, it involves full collaboration, composing/writing/recording parts, shaping sounds and creatively co-directing the work. Co-Production, on the other hand, is a lighter version of that – ideal for smaller production tasks, general feedback and/or guidance.
