Pat plays everything himself for the albums he makes. He likes to track on his own in his practice space where the price is right for doing as many takes as he wants. He enlisted my help with getting the drum mics set up for the best possible outcome. Happy tracking Pat!
Other self recordists out there: I will come over and do this for you too if you want.

The debut album just dropped!
This was the first album I tracked after Covid hit. It was April 2021 and I think everybody was one shot deep. I stayed on one side of the studio glass and Blister stayed on the other. I mixed it remotely. I think it turned out very cool.
They’re playing a release show tonight at with and .
I’ll be there (not working, just hangin’) and I’d recommend you come too!

The Julia Loop, by Sand Duney

Sand Duney is the new project by J. Jones of Jessica Dennison + Jones . I had the honor of mastering the three tracks on this first release. Available now at https://sandduney.bandcamp.com
Sometimes when you master something you're just shining the most flattering light possible on the final mixes and sometimes you're taking something to another sonic realm entirely–this was a case of the latter. Check it out!

Another solo album made in quarantine that I had the pleasure of mixing is soon being released! One song from it is being made available before its October 16th release: https://daveybones.bandcamp.com/

Do you have a $60 USB mic, a copy of Garageband, and dreams of making an album that reaches the sonic heights of late-era Jefferson Starship? Well I won't lie and tell you that it's gonna sound every bit as good as those gold records...But if you hire me to mix your album, you might get closer than you ever thought possible!

There's this new Street Nights album, "Human Condition" out today via Bandcamp. Made in quarantine by Jake Morris (drummer with Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Blesst Chest, One Eleven Heavy, The Joggers, etc.).
Featuring contributions from heavy hitters Jay Winebrenner, Joanna Bolme on bass Rebecca Cole piano and keyboards Stephen Malkmus, Daniel Wilson, Darrell Bourque lead guitars and Maryam Troncellitti on backing vocals.

Mixed by myself remotely going back and forth on email notes with Jake. Mastered by Gus Elg at Sky Onion Mastering.

Anybody else have an album they made in quarantine that they want me to mix? This was a blast to work on.

Did a remote session today with producers/music supervisors in LA who are putting a song together for a movie. Tracked vocals from LaRhonda Steel (pictures next to me on the couch). What a major talent!
Be sure to hire her if you ever need some seriously pro gospel/soul vocals recorded!

Viking's Choice: Psychedelic Speed Freaks, Ahmed Ag Kaedy, More

Wow! Ahmed Ag Kaedy featured on NPR 's All Songs Considered. Recorded and mixed by myself at Torch Toucher HQ.

“Akaline Kidal,” the latest album by guitarist Ahmed Ag Kaedy, evokes a windswept desert night in North Africa. It was recorded, however, in single, haunting takes on an 8-track cassette in a Portland basement. Ag Kaedy intended for his album to recall the Kidal region in Mali—a homeland he’...
