Well versed in everything from stonerrock to post-metal to death metal. I excel at natural & realistic tones with modern punch & impact.
My forte is doing productions that sound like they were performed by actual humans with real instruments, yet still having all the qualities that one associates with "a professional sounding record".
I've done albums tracked entirely live & unedited with huge, roomy Bonham sounding drums and vintage guitar tones and I've done records with meticulously edited drums and ridiculously tight walls of high gain guitars - and everything in between.
No two records/bands are the same and I do my utmost to create albums that have their own identity. The sound should of course fit the music & vibe and at the same time sound professional (as subjective of a term as that is).
I've also been playing drums in bands for almost 30 years, recording several albums, ep's & singles as well as touring worldwide, so I am intimately familiar with the amount of energy, time & passion that goes into creating songs, which is why I take all work that comes my way equally serious no matter how big or small. I always put 110% effort in as I want both the band and myself to be grinning from ear to ear once it is done.
Lastly - for mixing, mastering is included in the price without additional cost.
