Today at noon at the Egyptian Theater in Seattle, @thedarkodyssey2 premiers and is a part of the Seattle International Film Festival ! This film is a brilliant stop motion film by @michaellavine and it is chaotic, intelligent, and super entertaining. I am honored that I was able to do the soundtrack for this fantastically creative film. Don’t miss it! https://www.instagram.com/p/CqN32Nvrtgh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In Aberrant, I flex my dark dirt drone ambient appreciations. I channeled all the energy that I’ve been going through from the personal life challenges for the past two years into this release. By getting this stuff out of my head, I was able to become freer in my musical expressions. Lightning the load so I can relieve myself of the psychological tensions that I tend to be prone to.Pre-sale is on now!

Recently, I tracked some noise beds with a friend who had a student model cello. The capture went well and it’s going to be fun to have some actual organic sounds that will be totally unique. Thanks to @mapholder for being a trooper and participating.

I got up pretty early today as I do most days. I wanted to get a jump on the new releases that I’m working on. I’m very excited to share these with you soon. I feel the new direction I am taking musically is a road less traveled. Be on the lookout for these at the end of the year here and in 2023 until then, thank you for all your support.

This is the craziest goniometer reading I’ve ever seen. It’s from a super distorted track that I mastered today for the one and only @davidkframptonmusicandart Happy Samhain! https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZhS5gJkFs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am honored to have mixed this record. This is such an amazing package all around. Highly suggested! Posted @withregram • @sfi_records This Friday!! SOMAFREE INSTITUTE “Seek Sound Shelter” EP —//—//—//— "SOMAFREE INSTITUTE'S excellent new EP Seek Sound Shelter lays down chromed out cosmic jams steeped in Zombi space prog and Klaus Schulze expanse in fine form. From the kinetic "Attribution Error" to the slow tension of "Seek Sound Shelter" and the space rock strut of "Beta Testing Program", this Seattle space rock trio makes music to cruise the cosmos to. Buzzing analog electronics create a synthetic sheen of retro-futuristic vibes, with just the right amount of prog rock majesty." - J. Hubner / Complex Distractions Pre-orders Available this Friday @ 10am PST • Standard Edition of 200x single-sided 12” on black vinyl in a screenprinted jacket with a screenprinted b-side • Exclusive Edition of 100x single-sided 12” on white vinyl in a screen printed jacket and slipcase with a screenprinted b-side Mixed by @tad.doyle.music Mastered by @audiosiege Artwork by @enchanting_stranger *starts shipping on / around 10/7* #synth #synthesizer #seattle #sfirecordings #somafreeinstitute #scifi #deepspace #outwardsoundsfortheinwardbeing #screenprinting https://www.instagram.com/p/ChqE-pYPbut/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today’s Drum Recording Tip: Capture a hi-hat mic if for no other reason than to side-chain it out of the snare drum. Then you can bury that hi-hat track with the dead. You’re welcome. 💀🪦⚛️☯️ . . #audiomastering #audiorecording #moog #matriarch #audioprofessional #audioproduction #audiomixing #ableton # flstudio #studiolife #uad #reaperdaw #sm57 #neve #neve1073 #oxide #protools #homestudio #musicproducer #mixingengineer #logicprox #drums #cymbals #beats #LUNA #composer #mastering #nuendo #musicproduction https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgj9i_9rmrK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spring is my absolute favorite time of year. It’s so fun to hang out in the yard with the kids.🐈😺🍀🐈‍⬛😻 https://www.instagram.com/p/CdmOo7iJ9LT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s always a pleasure when somebody you worked with on their music sends you the final product. I did the mastering for this release. I have known David for 30+ years and have witnessed his musical projects evolve over the years and I feel very grateful to have a friendship as well as a working relationship with him for many years. The first time I heard about David was one of his projects called Truck Pitch. I was intrigued by the name and was lucky enough to receive vinyl from him all the way from England. It was a cacophonous collection of noise destruction and a fantastic use of distortion. He was using drum machines and synthesizers in his solo performances that challenged my thought on playing live solo. This man has evolved over the years and has been prolific in his output musically as well as his artwork. We, @sonicbrethren were excited when he agreed to do a tee-shirt design for us in 2006. I wish I still had one of those shirts for the archives. But I am sure there are a few people still out there wearing that design. I feel honored and humbled that he sent me one of 50 pressings of this slab of vinyl. Thank you my long time friend. 🙏🙏🍀⚛️☯️♾ (at Brighton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdjrYTkpnzB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trying out a new snare bottom microphone today. I don’t think I am using for it’s intended use but it’s gonna be pretty good nonetheless. If it’s in the tight spots are and it has good rejection. A cardioid polar pattern. This will be for the Atomic Rust session this weekend. On drums, is an old friend. Dave Brooks from the band Coffin Break. Thanks to my friend and fellow audio professional, Scott Masoner for giving me the microphone. I know good people. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcI7kZZJC-t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
