About
I’ve been making records in one form or another for most of my life — mobile cassette multitracking as a kid, then tape, ADAT, and the early digital rigs, and eventually my own ProTools setup built to record my own drums, which quickly grew into recording whole bands. A basement became a live room, a closet became a vocal booth, and a spare room upstairs became a control room — the whole thing built by hand, one piece at a time.
For years I also handled live production work on the side — multi-camera, multi-mic shoots recorded and streamed in real time — which kept my hands in the craft and only made me want to make music more. And over the last several years I’ve gone deep on the craft itself: mixing theory, the history of how the great records were actually made, and training my ear to hear why a classic sounds the way it does — the compression, the space, the balance, the small decisions that separate a good take from a great one.
This house was bought with one purpose: to build 1860. A personal, session-ready studio in the woods, made for full bands and solo artists who want real attention on their record. No booking desk, no rotating cast of engineers, no clock on the wall — just one person who cares about your record, focused on it from the first mic to the final master — or anything in between. And when the record’s done, our in-house label, 1860 Records, is right here to help you release it.
Mostly, it’s the studio I wish I’d had when I was starting out. That’s who I built it for.
The studio of my dreams. Here for yours.
