This post is just to let people know that I will no longer be taking on new mixing clients for a while. I will still be available to record bands, in a very limited capacity. But until further notice my focus will be on recording and mixing projects I am involved in. Thanks!
New demo from QAALM released
My doom band, QAALM, has just released their first demo. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Dark Vision Media. I also played synths on the song.
Tracking drums with Qaalm
I recently recorded drums with the doom/sludge band I’m in, Qaalm.
FS: Pair of Blue Hummingbird SDC microphones
EDIT: Now up on Reverb.com: https://reverb.com/item/21818821-blue-hummingbird-microphone-pair
Mint condition, barely used. They sound clear and detailed, but are just too bright for my room and the kind of music I record. $400 + shipping. I’ll stick ‘em on Reverb in a couple days if there are no bites.

Recording Qaalm
I’ve spent the last week recording with a new band that I am playing keys/synths in, Qaalm.
Here are some pics from our session:
Android Lust – “Shores Unknown” music video from Agony
Agony Main Theme – “Shores Unknown” – by Android Lust.
The critically acclaimed Survival-Horror game Agony will launch on PlayStation® 4, Xbox One – the all in one entertainment system from Microsoft – as well as PC on May 29th 2018.
Agony is a first-person survival horror game currently in development.
Players will begin their journey as tormented soul within the depths of hell without any memories about his past.
The special ability to control people on their path, and even possess simple minded demons,
gives the player the necessary measures to survive in the extreme conditions they are in.
By exploring hostile environment and interacting with the other weary souls of the hellscape,
the hero will soon understand that there is only one way to escape from Hell, and it will require a meeting of the mystical Red Goddess.

New video for “Sunset Hangover” by Vanessa Bley
Woohoo! Premiere of “Sunset Hangover” music video starring water warrior David Braun & fly girls Callie Gleason & Rebecca Nuss.
Once settled in LA, which was deep drought at the time, I wrote “Sunset Hangover.” After growing up in lush, upstate NY and Miami, the absence of water hit me harder than expected. I was conflicted about the need for wheels after walking everywhere in NYC. This music video was shot in Santa Ynez, CA, where I live now. It features my anti-fracking, water warrior friend, David Braun who I met in 2011 after watching the HBO documentary, GASLAND.
