The Process

I absolutely love my job (if you could even call it that!). I look forward to stepping into this studio and cranking up the equipment and just being creative. Whether it be all by myself or with a group of 20 people, the process of creating music gives me an indescribable rush.

I'm often amazed at how intimidated some people are by this place. Not just the complicated equipment, but by the prcoess of creating a song itself. Some people are under the impression that if they don't have a band, or a chord chart, or an ability to play an instrument, they can't record. Of course they can! In fact, most people come in here with nothing but a melody in their head. It's my job to translate their vision into a recording. The process is a blast for all involved.

I bet there are a lot of people out there who never end up recording because they never feel like they're "ready." I hope some of them are reading this!

alimento de conforte

You know the feeling. Nothing can come close to the way you feel when you bite into what you call your "comfort food." You've had a long day, received some sad news, argued with someone close to you... and all you want is your comfort food. We know that in this crazy world of fleeting relationships and overwhelming choices, there is at least this one thing that will always stay the same. Comfort food grounds us, in a way, and reminds us that there are some things out there that won't betray us.

That said, I'm hungry.
