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.

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.

Tyson Ballew - Book of Poetry

Helped produce and record this song by Tyson Ballew for my friend’s (Tyson’s partner) birthday with my partner Whitney Flinn (Hooves and Beak, Cat Valley). Great fun all around working in my little home studio on this.

The Sheen - Holocene Rolodex

Recorded, mixed, and mastered this album for Bellingham psych noise band The Sheen. Tracked live at Champion Street Sound Studios with the assistance of some of my students. Mixed and mastered back here at the home studio.

Cat Valley - Feral

Home recordings don’t always have to sound bad - at least not if you know what you’re doing! I had the absolute pleasure of producing, mixing, and mastering the EP by local Bellingham rock band Cat Valley, all from my old home studio at the Moore St house we all lived at in Bellingham WA (with the final mixing and mastering done at the new home studio setup across town). Stream the album below or purchase it from their bandcamp: https://catvalley.bandcamp.com/album/feral

Analog Brass - Songs From The Protest Route

Always happy to get a chance to use the tape machine to give a mastering project some nice saturation and that’s exactly what I got to do while mastering this album for Bellingham brass band Analog Brass - injecting some real analog tone into their mixes! Stream the album below or purchase the album from their bandcamp to support local mutual aid organizations: https://analogbrass.bandcamp.com/album/songs-from-the-protest-route
