“I’ve been playing with microphones and tape recorders since I was eleven years old. Capturing my ideas and layering the possibilities while multi tracking has always been equally loved with playing guitar & writing songs. My whole life, having a way to record was as important as having a kitchen. I have always loved recording equipment, and building a sweet hybrid studio setup has been a lovely pursuit. I love gear, and buttons, and switches, and knobs. I love the recording work of Glyn Johns, Geoff Emerick, Ken Scott, Dave O’Donnell, Elliot Scheiner, Al Schmidt, Bob Clearmountain, Tchad Blake, Mitchell Froom, Dan Lanois, (the list keeps going).
