MOVING PICTURE SHOW
“Perfect World”
From the four-song EP entitled “Studies Have Shown”. Jason Mezilis: Producer and tracking engineer.
Myself: vocal recording engineer and mixing.
Talented musicians, catchy songs, great arrangements: How could it NOT turn out awesome?
“Perfect World” has recently been featured on KROQ here in Los Angeles, and IS NOW AVAILABLE for the ROCK BAND video game! http://www.rockband.com/songs/UGC_5001414
A FINE FRENZY
borrowed time
This is part of a 4-song iTunes Exclusive EP I recorded at the Record Plant. The whole band in one room, playing together, no overdubs… just like it used to be
The guys (and Alison) in the band are incredibly talented, which made my job easy. It was truly an honor to be a part of it.

SHAIMUS
Turn The Other Way
From “The Sad Thing Is, We Like It Here” I was introduced to these guys through a mutual friend. They needed to record piano for some songs… I had access to a couple pianos… and some spare time. The piano you hear on these songs is the vintage 1976 upright proudly featured at my studio Porchlight Recording. Elsewhere on the album you can hear the Yamaha grand piano at the Record Plant. Though my contribution to this album is relatively small, I like these guys’ songs so much I had to attach two!

SPINMAN
Sambalanana
From the album Universal Soul. I honestly hadn’t had too much experience working on dance music, or latin music for that matter, but I am really happy with how this project turned out. The album has been making the rounds and is getting good reviews and some songs have even been picked up for dance music compilations. I mixed this album mostly at my studio, but some songs at Record Plant.
This one is a dub re-mix I did of a song off the same album. Good stuff.

BIRDOG
A song I mixed for a good friend, and longtime musical collaborator. This is one of my favorites from his “Home” album. Credit MUST be given to Jim Hawkins for the awesome arrangement and production on this track.
… My favorite off the upcoming EP. I am proud to have played a big part in this one. Produced, arranged, played bass, recorded and mixed by yours truly.

SWATT TANK CHARITY
From the album “Submachines”. This really turned out to be a fantastic project that I am proud to have been a part of. I co-produced, mixed, (and mastered) this CD, and you may even hear some of my guitar, bass, and vocal contributions on this track… especially towards the end.
As a friend put it: “psychedelic”

JOE FIRSTMAN
This is part of an Unreleased “Live, In-Studio” performance which I mixed, years ago, of the amazing singer and songwriter Joe Firstman. I’ve got to mention that this batch of songs was recorded by the one and only Jimbo Barton, one of the best producers/mixers I’ve ever met. That, combined with the killer performance by Joe and his cohort, means that I could have farted all over these tracks and they still would have come out pretty damn good, so I can’t really take that much credit… but I will anyway.

MR. GREEN ALLSTARS
One of seven songs I mixed for the HardCorePunkRockReggae album. That’s Steve Perkins of Janes Addiction on drums, and H.R. of Bad Brains doin’ some background vocals! I like this little dub.
They made a really cool video out of this track. I love the punk and metal influences. Makes me feel like I’m in high school again.
