Creating Recordings With A Sonic Aesthetic
Every band has a distinct sound. I love working with musicians to draw that out and highlight what makes them unique. Starting by getting to know you and your music informs every decision down the line: from music production workflow, to the sound of the recording room we choose, microphone techniques, EQ, compression, distortion, and much more….each small choice made when tracking adds up to a major impact on the final sonic aesthetic.
It all starts at the source; the performer & their instruments; Working together we can shape your tones to not only sound amazing, but work together in the context of the other instruments. Let’s tune up the drums, tweak your amp & pedal settings, and get the sound at the source; Then capture your performance at it’s best.

What Difference Does A Recording Studio Make?
Recording studios by definition are performance spaces, but they go well beyond that. What recording studio you choose fundamentally changes the sound of the recordings. The unique characteristics of each recording room imparts its distinctive sound into the recordings, and even shapes the performances of the musicians themselves.
This especially holds true for drum recordings, but can apply to any instrument (especially when using room mics). Room acoustics can vary a lot, from lively & reverberant to dry & dead, bright to dark, and large to small; Ultimately it comes down to choosing the right room to get the desired sound for your album.
As an alternative to traditional purpose built recording studios, I offer a completely mobile recording studio, let’s choose the right recording space that not only provides the right sonic space for your recordings, but is also an inspiring place to perform in. From purpose built recording studios, to churches, theaters, log cabins, or concert clubs …the possibilities are endless!
