I’ve known Gillian for more than a decade and the opening of this review hits the nail on the head. Her band, her music, her art, is excellent! Listen to this beautiful track by Shadow Monster, which I had the pleasure of working on, and gobble up everything she does. You won’t regret it.

Mid/Side. If you don't know, you should. Mixing & mastering take on an entirely new world. You don't need it all the time or even some of the time. Just when it's the exact right choice for a very specific song or project. #toolkit #mixerlife #producerlife #music4life

Spending the day mastering the new St. Lenox record. I've known Andrew for a pretty long time now, even running his sound at Sidewalk many many moons ago, and the growth from record to record is immeasurable. #mastering #compression #EQ #artandsoul

Barry Bliss Rest Assured, 2020

Here's another video I made for my friend Barry Bliss.
July 17th was Barry's 55 birthday and he spent the afternoon with me making a record. Sometimes controversial, always entertaining. #whatisantifolk

I Turn 55 in July, by Barry Bliss

Tracked, mixed, "mastered" and released in under 5 hours today. Barry always comes out swinging. It must be said that Barry and I don't agree on everything and there are some things in this material that I find discourse with. But Barry is my friend, he is a good person whether you agree with him or not. These are his POV's not mine. And! He's always up for a debate to change his mind. #AnyTakers #antifolk

We tracked Acoustic, Drums, Bass and some scratch vocals for 10 songs in 4 days. #vintageribbon #rca74b #vintagepbass #drawmer1960 #drumsounds #producerlife #studiolife #firetheengine #hiretheengineer #protestsongs #blmsongs #onthesideofhope #sayhisname @ The Creamery Studio

I'm currently working on a very important piece remotely that requires some help from my community. I'm looking for friends to record themselves saying, shouting and or singing "George Floyd" and then sending it to me at [email protected]. Can be once, twice, ten times if you want in ten different ways. I'm looking to reproduce the chants heard world wide. The key is G if you wanna sing it. #GeorgeFloyd #SayHisName #BLM #bepartofthesolution #pleasehelp #icantbrearhe

White Man OFFICIAL VIDEO

Explicit lyrics warning. I made this video for The Resistance Company last year. I think it says exactly what I see a lot of my friends are saying right now. "White Man, wake the f**k up! Do not discriminate." #GeorgeFloyd #AmaudArbery #BreonnaTaylor #EndRacismNow

Recording Drums at Dreamland Recording Studio

Over 5k views on this little video I made a while back for a SonicScoop article featuring the incredibly talented performance by Brendan Galvin. Love this studio! If you're in the market for some live, large scale recording, this is the place to do it!

Best heard in headphones, or high quality speakers. Audio/Video example of a well recorded drummer (Brendan Galvin) at Dreamland Recording Studios. Microphon...

SpeakerSonic

From Barry Bliss. A truly unique and understated artist. Powerful point of view! I’ve worked with this talented fellow for years. “Renegade” recoding, is what I like to call our process. He shows up, I pre-plan and prep, he plays each song once, MAYBE twice, (almost never). I just try to stay out of the way. His albums are like journal entries. It can be controversial, it can be topical, sweet or course. Here’s a link to a vid I made of our process... https://youtu.be/k1d6rvhp3Gg

SpeakerSonic Studio in Brooklyn is owned by my friend Brian Speaker. It is where I recorded many of the albums that can now be bought online.

Attention Artists: Stay strong! I see of lot of canceled shows and canceled tours out there, and for that I feel for you. But remember, you are what helps us through these tough times. Keep writing, keep releasing music, keep inspiring, keep these moments in your heart when you write your next song. From my family to you and yours, much love and try and stay positive. Hearts!!! 💕🔥🎶

Really excited about the incredible sounds I’m getting these days. Really fat full rock sounds. Ripe and ready for any of you indie rockers ready to throw down. Full bands welcome for a very live and electrifying journey. Hit me up for future bookings.
