Classically trained.

Forwardly focused.

Whether you’re playing old music in a fresh way, or sharing something new with the world, I make musicians sound and look good in recordings.

As a musician first, I make sure your best performances are preserved intentionally and creatively, whether it’s for a track on your album or a video of your concert.

With a Master’s degree in Audio Sciences from the Peabody Conservatory of Music, two summers working audio at the Tanglewood Music Festival, and years of experience with various clients in the Baltimore/DC area, I know how to record classical and jazz music well.

As a composer myself, I care about making new music happen—and new music can mean contemporary compositions, rediscovered works that were left behind for no good reason, and the tried-and-true classics imbued with new life by skilled, thoughtful performers.

Values

Professionalism

Before I press record, I value your trust and comfort. Communication, punctuality, flexibility, and expediency are my business priorities. As the performer, you shouldn’t have to focus on anything but creating your music.

Quality

To me, a great recording should not just be an accurate capture of an event— it should be a larger-than-life sonic experience. I strive to produce clear recordings that draw listeners into your musical space.

Musicality

As a composer myself, I understand that the music always comes first. I care just as much about fulfilling your artistic vision as you do, and I will do whatever is possible to achieve that goal with you.

Recording Services

I offer the following services as work-for-hire:

High resolution, on-location multitrack audio recording for any genre of music, with a specialization in classical, contemporary classical, and jazz
Single- or multi-camera HD and 4K video production* of live classical or jazz performances and music videos, including video editing and color grading
Single- or multi-camera live streaming services for musical performances
Discreet, undetectable audio editing
Advanced background noise removal
Detailed, thoughtful mixing for single tracks, albums, or entire concerts
Mastering for music mixed by other engineers, or myself
In addition to stereo audio recording, I can record classical music for immersive audio formats

*For smaller projects, I can do the videography work myself, but for larger projects I can assemble a team of video specialists.
It’s always best to have a larger team with each member focusing on what they do best. Assembling that team takes effort and a lot of shopping around. So hire me to do the audio, and I can bring along my trusted, skilled colleagues to do highly professional video work as one team.

I also compose music…

My roots are in music composition, and I haven’t given that up just because my day job is engineering. I still write music, and can employ those skills not only to write original music, but to help bring your music to life through orchestration, scoring, and arrangement.
