BACKGROUND
I live in the Bronx, playing gigs in the Lower East Side, Brooklyn and Queens with my two indie rock / punk bands Pacer and Faculty.
I have over ten years of experience producing, mostly with Ableton Live (though I am proficient also in Logic Pro and FL). I have extensive works in genres as disparate as EDM, hip hop and rock - whose lineage extends back to such pioneers of experimentalism eclecticism as Steve Reich, Chuck Berry, Brian Eno, Kate Bush, and Jimi Hendrix.
OVERVIEW OF EXPERTISE
As the work on my portfolio will showcase, my ability to produce and play in a way that brings forth the strongest elements in a song unites my creative endeavors. The eponymous Faculty album was a project I engineered purposefully to have a great deal of “room” sound, as banter and movement in the recording space during the 1 week session lent itself to the album’s loose, DIY feel, while the production still adheres to standards of compression that are mandatory for the modern listener. My rock albums under Faculty and Staff (on soundcloud and bandcamp) are engineered, by contrast, very claustrophobically. Across my instrumental works can be heard a great breadth of auditory landscapes and innovative production techniques.
HOW WE CAN WORK
I can give you access to a DIY recording space here in my apartment in the Bronx, near Rose Hill’s Fordham campus, though the daily rate for that will be higher, because this makeshift studio will have access to a variety of in-studio musicians other than me, including a drummer, a keyboardist, and a mandolin player / lap steel guitarist. I will of course be willing to provide session work as a guitarist/ bassist/ vocalist/ songwriter no matter where or how we convene.
I often prefer midi controlled drums, because, despite the tedium of inputting drum-hits one at a time, I find that the precision achieved in the end result is well worth it, while the organic intensity of a live drummer can be emulated through note velocity and strategic placement of drum hits. Nevertheless, Ben Miraglia, drummer of Pacer (the finest rock percussionist I’ve had the pleasure of playing with) can be enlisted if we want a reliable session drummer. To write, record and produce a rock song in a single session with me is very doable.
My help will be as hands on as you’d like. I can lay down all the tracks if you have a song idea, I can help you write lyrics, or I can simply set up the hardware, mic you up and let you rip.
