New live video from the incredibly talented Adrianne Lenker, which I had the pleasure of mixing. She writes beautiful songs.
I love working with these guys so much. They’re great musicians, funny guys, and just genuinely good people. I have the pleasure of working on the new record and this track is going to be on there. Check it out!
Emiliana Torrini - Fisherman’s Woman
This record is so incredibly beautiful. You need to hear it.

Funny short film, especially for you audio nerds out there.
Hoodie Allen’s All American is currently the #1 record on iTunes in the US. I never thought I’d be able to say I engineered a #1 album at this point in my life, but his incredible hard work and dedicated fan base made it possible. Check out this track that I worked on, and check out the record! http://smarturl.it/AllAmerican-EP
Their return cannot come soon enough.
Julia Easterlin - Eyes On The Prize
If you love music, then you have to hear this. A truly incredible piece of music by a truly incredible artist. The accompanying videos are really top notch too.
Got to work on the upcoming EP All American from Hoodie Allen. Really cool stuff. Check out the first single that dropped today!
Alan Lomax was a folklorist and ethnomusicologist, whose work helped bring together the cultures of the world (especially musically) throughout the 20th century. His entire collection of recordings has been made digital and uploaded online:
The Sound Recordings catalog comprises over 17,400 digital audio files, beginning with Lomax’s first recordings onto (newly invented) tape in 1946 and tracing his career into the 1990s. In addition to a wide spectrum of musical performances from around the world, it includes stories, jokes, sermons, personal narratives, interviews conducted by Lomax and his associates, and unique ambient artifacts captured in transit from radio broadcasts, sometimes inadvertently, when Alan left the tape machine running. Not a single piece of recorded sound in Lomax’s audio archive has been omitted: meaning that microphone checks, partial performances, and false starts are also included.
Erroll Garner, “She’s Funny That Way”, live in London, 1964. Phenomenal piano playing aside, just look at how much he’s enjoying himself. I’m always into musicians (and people in general) who don’t fall into the trap of taking themselves too seriously.
Midnight After Noon
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard. Honestly, I don’t think Becca Stevens could do anything that wasn’t beautiful.
The second is from Anna Talpe - a wonderful musician and friend. We recorded this in a dance studio at Boston Conservatory back in December. This video, like the Yesberger Band video (and also Hannah Read’s live video from last Summer) was directed by the brilliant KJ Wang.
Two videos that I worked on came out today. This first one, by the Yesberger Band, is from 3 30am on Monday night/Tuesday morning. These guys are such amazing musicians and people. Always a pleasure to work with them. Check it out!
