Super stoked to discover today that my new album was featured on the always excellent Stadiums & Shrines website. Dave Sutton had many nice words to share and I’m quite honored to say the least.

I recently had the joy of mastering the new Widesky release for the FutureSequence label. It’s a richly dense listening experience from an artist as genuine as they come. Get it digitally from the label. Highly recommended!
Check out a sample:
If you are interested in having me master a future release of yours, please contact me. I love all styles of music. As an artist myself, I know that money is not a commodity most of us have in abundance. But, that doesn’t mean the end product of your work should suffer. I’ve got quality gear and lower than average rates. Let’s talk. =)

I had the proud privilege to be included on the recent SEQUENCE3 compilation from the FUTURESEQUENCE label out of the UK. My contribution is a new piece titled “Yours Mine Ours.” It’s the first unveiling from a new body of work inspired by the rhythms of human breathing. If you like the track, there’s much more of this to come.
There’s an amazing roster of artists on it and I’m extremely honored to be along side them. Other artists included are: Machinefabriek, Field Rotation, Black Eagle Child, The Oo-ray, Wolf Maps, Tone Color, Heinali, Sun Hammer, Birds of Passage, Maps and Diagrams, and many more. Best of all? It’s all FREE. Yes, you can download it for free from the label. Get it here.
I recently had the honor of mastering the latest release by Windy & Carl for the Kranky label. It’s a fantastic album from a couple who have been masters of their craft for years. Get it digitally, on CD or Vinyl from the label, iTunes, Amazon or elsewhere. You won’t be disappointed.

All corners of the music world unloaded their top 10 lists right before Christmas it seems. I have a hard time really saying what is the best in any genre because it’s so subjective. But I do know what gets a lot of milage in my house, car or recording studio.
I had the honor of being featured as SoundCloud’s artist of the day. They featured my track “Night Ships.”

Here’s a little something I do for all my friends and family every year around this time. I take some of the fun or interesting stuff I’ve heard during the year and put together a few mixes that have a something for everyone. Experimental stuff, folksy chill stuff and some fun stuff for the hipster kids and their holiday sweater parties. My gift to you. Download, enjoy and I hope you discover something new that you like.

Yes! Back into some real content. Been putting my own words into action this year as my wife and I saw the birth of twin daughters at the beginning of the year. I’ve had to be more focused and intentional with my time than ever before. And so, the subject of living a creative life is even more dear to my heart than ever.
Previously, I’ve discussed ways to open up more time to be creative as well as some practical ways to declutter our lives. Now it’s time to delve inward and break down some of the mental roadblocks that can cripple the creative process.
