Values
Professionalism
Before I press record, I value your trust and comfort. Communication, punctuality, flexibility, and expediency are my business priorities. As the client, you shouldn’t have to worry about anything but nailing the performance.
Sound 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.
About
I’m a Baltimore-based audio engineer specializing in classical and jazz music recording. I am a Graduate Assistant for the Recording Arts & Sciences program at the Peabody Conservatory, where I’ve studied under the tutelage of Scott Metcalfe and Ed Tetreault for the last six years. My education at Peabody has provided me with a strong foundation in all things audio engineering.
For two summers I worked as a recording engineer at the Tanglewood Music Center under the supervision of Grammy award-winning producer and engineer Tim Martyn, and Carl Talbot of Musicom Productions. It was here that I really learned to hone in on the craft of classical recording.
At Tanglewood, I’ve served as lead recording engineer on concerts by some of the top artists in the classical industry, including the Emerson String Quartet, Jeremy Denk, Thomas Adès, Paul Lewis, the JACK Quartet, Stefan Jackiw, Igor Levit, Kirill Gerstein, members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and numerous fellows of the Tanglewood Music Center. I have assisted on recordings for many other excellent artists, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra itself.
As a freelancer in Baltimore, I’ve recorded and streamed dozens of concerts, recitals, and audition tapes for professionals and students alike. I currently co-run livestream concerts at the jazz venue An die Musik on Charles Street and co-produce the Candelight Concert Series by Community Concerts at Second Presbyterian.
