As Producer of Incense I also tracked and mixed
all the live drum samples used within the album. A major
aspect of arranging the live pieces involved extensive
editing, shaping, and retexturing of the songs. This
was achieved through cuts, placement, and extreme uses
of equalization and effects processing.
For Janies album we wrote the the songs as a team.
I arranged all of the additional instrument parts beyond
the basic chord structure of the songs. The full length
album will be complete in Fall of 2005. Following the
completion of her album, Janie will begin touring.
Bits and Pieces came together through sequencing, live
instrumentation and drum machine programming. Much of
the album was tracked live in stereo to a minidisk recorder.
Burn came in and blew the roof off the studio. They
brought their exciting live performance vibe, and we
translated that beautifully into a great party and dance
album.
THATEOTR is one of the first versions of the cuisNart
in action alongside the studio explorations of yours
truly. This album was really no holds barred and we
explored every aspect of the recording facility we were
using at that time. I utilized squeaky box lids, broken
door handles, and analog synths as percussion instruments.
The Sandman is an interactive film done in FLASH. The
pacing of the movie depends on the viewer as each new
scene begins by clicking on the blue square. That's
Anton Patzner on the violin and my good friend Peter
Chester helped with all the fancy FLASH coding.
