A new project I’ve been involved in, Wages, just finished up the first round of mixes. Another project with Hank Sulivant producing. I’m the engineer, bass player, and even have a song that I wrote and co-sing (Nick Campbell lends his voice to make me sound legit). James Dedakis on the drum kit. Check out all of the tunes here.

I had the pleasure of engineering the Colour Revolt’s upcoming release with Hank Sulivant producing. Everyone involved where such pro’s, we really had a well oiled machine running in the Church at Echo Mountain. 7-days , all of the basics live to 2″ tape, tracking done.

What’s more astounding is that we weren’t rushed, and there was a good deal of creative decision making going on despite the tight timeline. My favorite kind of session. I can’t wait for the release date so that I can share the finished product.

The kind folks over at Daytrotter put up a nice post about Arizona. Sean Moeller was in Asheville for HatchFest earlier this year, and I had the pleasure of recording some great musicians live to 1/4″ tape, daytrotter style. It’s so awesome to work with folks that have a real sense of style, principle, craft and detail. I mean, hand drawn illustrations, thoughtful writing, and a commitment to quality old school recording methods. Good dudes for sure.
