Been working with @neverthebridle.bsky.social on an album and an EP for months and realized I hadn’t posted any work in progress videos until now! Anyway please enjoy this potato cam footage. It’s wobbly as usual, I like to think that’s just my phone dancing along
Still buzzing from this show honestly!
Gardening pro tip: check on your zucchini once a day
It’s a good day to hang out in the shade with your dog
Would you like to update today or tomorrow? NO
🫧 The bubble that I post from:
Got to see Bit Brigade perform Mega Man X tonight (hell yeah)
Still a good deal, but the seller telling me "what do you mean, they work" rather than "oh shit sorry I had no idea" left a bad taste in my mouth
Anyway there are my new bandmates
Had they done a little more research, they’d learn that Remo makes drum heads, not drums lol
I can’t change the world, but I can change my workspace

Thanks Elizabeth McCorvey for the kind words! Listen to the track we worked on together: elizabethmccorvey.bandcamp.com/track/aint-g...
Now that it's the new year already — wait what month is it?! Anyway shout out to everyone who chose to work with me last year. I think the only active accounts on here are @cloudblood.music and @sparralimb.bsky.social, they're worth a follow!
Buying more mic stands: 🙅♂️ Buying a clamp that turns one mic stand into two mic stands: 👍
I think the guys in @thewelcoming.bsky.social are starting to like that A Perfect Circle band
Lefty Carmean is a talented Asheville NC singer/songwriter who assembled a talented group of engineers and guest musicians to bring his debut EP to life. In my role as mastering engineer, I had the relatively easy job of making already good sounding mixes sound great.
I wish I had seen this earlier today, @heather-nicole-l.bsky.social and I just went there as a once in a decade thing, it’s worse than I remember. Like low tier fast food level. Also we were sat down next to two tables full of cops and I was wearing this shirt lmao
Another banger by Asheville NC alt rock band Drowning Leo! The band tracked live at the studio, and then we overdubbed guitars and vocals. The band brought me on as a producer for this song, and we worked together to trim the fat and give the choruses maximum impact.
Took a few weeks but I finished this puzzle that @heather-nicole-l.bsky.social got me because she wants me to suffer
Shoutout to @neverthebridle.bsky.social for giving me a good excuse to mic up the vintage kit for the first time
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
Found out why one of my condenser mics stopped working 🙈
Ran sound for a band last night and I wouldn’t describe the location of the beer line in relation to the stage as optimal 😅
