MUSIC PORTFOLIO
Below is a sampling of varying production work I have done in recent years; categorized by genre.
Rock & Metal
Rusty Soul Band
Rusty Soul Band blends genres to offer a unique sound that is at the same time fresh and familiar. A deep-pocket funky bass-and-drum backbeat pours the foundation.
Two pure and powerful guitars meld different yet complementary tones to provide a unified wall of sound. Soulful voices provide the character and identity that makes it all work. They call it Blue-Collar Rock-N-Roll. Fans of classic 4-on-the-floor rock, southern rock, r&b and even country/western music will find something to like.
It was my privilege to set up & track these recording sessions & have input on the mixing
for these two country rock tracks
InEther
InEther is a 5 piece high energy metalcore band from Akron Ohio. They are on a mission to take their local scene by storm, with intense and passionate live performances. Inspired by shoegaze, metal and hardcore alike, they try their best to make every piece of work increase with aggression.
It was my privilege to provide some mixing & programming support on this intense EP by the talented 5 piece group.
“Mauve” - A metal composition written & produced by me.
