PRODUCER
I utilize several production philosophies. Depending on the project I pride myself on giving the artist what they need. From being totally hands on all the way to an Albini-esc approach where I try not to involve myself in the musical decisions at all. I know hundreds of tested work flows and recording techniques. Also, I believe the cornerstone of respectable business practices is streching the production budget to achieve goals which the artist didn't think were possible.
When I produce a record I try to give the artist what they need, whatever that may be -all while stretching a budget. I love collaborating, but I empathize with the artist who wants to take the reins on projects.
MIXING
My mix style is heavy in vintage sounds with modern sensibilities about the capabilities of digital recording, low noise floors, sweet detailed highs and soft fuzzy goodness.
