Had the pleasure of collaborating with my friends in Seattle-based band Chico Detour on their first release. Mixed mostly fully analog at Champion Street Sound Studios with a couple songs ending up getting remixed digitally at my home studio later on. Mastered in my home studio as well.
Laamb - S/T
Recorded, mixed, and mastered this album for Seattle rock band Laamb. Tracked mostly in one weekend at Mysterious Red X in Seattle, with some additional guitar overdubs done by the band at home. Mixed at my home studio in Bellingham.
The Sheen - Psychic Bog
Recorded and mixed this album with Bellingham freaky noise-psych rockers The Sheen. Recorded mostly live with minimal overdubbing at the Salish Sea Studio at Fairhaven College. Mixed at my home studio. Mastered by Joshua Stevenson. Available on cassette if you like it!
Salt Pine - Lost Child EP
Recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered this EP for PNW alt country rockers Salt Pine. Tracked at Champion Street Sound Studios and my home studio in Bellingham, WA.
Cuttlefish - Shaggy
Recorded, mixed, and mastered this single for Bellingham band Cuttlefish. Tracked at the Salish Sea Studios at WWU and mixed/mastered at my home studio all in Bellingham, WA.
Whiskey Class - I Get It
I recorded, produced, and mixed this epic record by Seattle/Juneau rock band Whiskey Class. This one of my favorite records I’ve had the pleasure of working on and I’m really proud of how we all came together and made this one happen. Most of the tracking was done at the Unknown Recording Studio in Anacortes, WA with some additional tracking done at my home studio, the band’s houses, and a studio up in Juneau. This record was a big departure in sound for the group - which was formerly just Liz and Patrick - morphing into a full-on rock band when they introduced Alex on guitar. I was truly humbled by the trust this group put in me to make this transition smoothly and to execute the epic vision of this album. There’s a lot of layers on this record and these were pretty intense mixes to put together, but I think the end result is quite impressive - and best of all I have three new friends in my life. Put on some decent headphones and dive in!
Energy Pyramid - Levels
Mixed this record for anonymous Bellingham instrumental rockers Energy Pyramid.
Hello, World!
Full Color Dream - Grouse
I mastered this record for Bellingham band, Full Color Dream.
Kotlovan - Mementos
Had the pleasure of mixing this incredibly dense, layered, and lovely album for Everett artist Kotlovan. This album has such a wide variety of sounds and is unorthodox in all the best ways. Had a fun time implenting my own special version of the “Brauerize” technique with this one - tons of crazy FX and parallel buses and absolutely massive sessions.
LipStitch - Let's Talk
Had the pleasure of working with my friends in LiStitch on their second full-length record. We tracked the whole album in their garage and my home studio over the course of a few weeks and then mixed it all here at my home studio as well. Mastered at Black Belt Mastering.
Laamb - Seagullville 2
Had a great time producing, mixing, and mastering this record for Seattle band Laamb. Tracked everything down at The Unknown Recording Studio in Anacortes and then mixed and mastered everything up at my home studio in Bellingham. Had a great time making ridiculous loud guitar sounds with these guys.
Forest Ray - Windfucker (Jebivjetar)
Took another couple trips down to Jackpot! Studios down in Portland, OR to mix this wonderful record with Peter from Forest Ray. This album hit me in a different way than a lot of his older material that we’ve collaborated on. It’s more sentimental, more heartfelt, and more reflective than his older albums and I think it goes a long way in showcasing his growing maturity as a songwriter and as a musician. This is a delightful album for lovers of classic rock, country, psych rock, and music theory. All mixing was done from 2” 24-track tape down to 1/4” 2-track through Jackpot’s Neve summing console with me and Peter riding the faders all the way. Pure analog spontaneity.
fine - don't talk, just be hot
Had a wonderful time tracking and mixing this record for Seattle band, fine. Keith and I have known each other for a long time and I’ve always really liked fine’s brand of noisy art-rock so I was very excited when they reached out to me about tracking an album. We were able to get into Earwig in Seattle for one of my last sessions there before they closed up in December and I just love the way the organic room sound made a nice imprint on the vibe of the record.
Laamb - Bam Bam/FJ
Recorded, mixed, and mastered this single/b-side for Seattle rockers, Laamb. Had a great time tracking this down at The Unknown in Anacortes over a weekend. Mixing for this was fun, as I wanted to create a huge drum sound without relying on sample reinforcement. These songs will also be featured on a forthcoming album by the band.
Stillvettas - Greatest Hits So Far
Mixed this album for Bellingham rockers the Stillvettas. Great fun and collaborative process to work with them again. They recorded all the tracks at their practice space themselves and brought me in to mix.
Cat Positive - Same Space
Recorded, mixed, and mastered this single for my band, Cat Positive, that I play guitar in. Recorded with the assistance of my students in the Audio Technology, Music, and Society program at Fairhaven College. Whitney Flinn of Cat Valley sang guest vocals on this one too!
Cat Valley - Bingo Queen
Recorded and mixed this album for Bellingham band Cat Valley. Recorded drums and most of the bass at Champion Street Sound Studios in Bellingham, all guitars and vocals done in my home studio. Loved to see the band push itself with this one!
No-Fi Soul Rebellion
Had the pleasure of mastering this single/b-side for Bellingham legends No-Fi Soul Rebellion. Fun to work with a band that I’ve been seeing live since probably middle school.
Forest Ray - Wait Any Longer
I mixed and mastered this Single off an upcoming album for Seattle psych-rock band Forest Ray. As with nearly all of their music, this song was tracked and mixed completely analog from 2” 24-track tape down to 1/4” 2-track. We mixed this album at Jackpot! Recording Studio in Portland, OR over the course of 6 long days.
Hockey Teeth - Dialtone
Recorded and mixed this song off of the new EP by Seattle indie-pop rockers Hockey Teeth. This song was tracked entirely in one day at Earwig down in Seattle and then mixed up in my home studio up in Bellingham.
