Happy Birthday to Dad, who wouldโve been 71 today. He passed away surrounded by his family on March 11, exactly 10 years after his mom did.
Lately, heโs been showing up in my dreams at full strength, giving me a spiritual opportunity to spend more time with the role model who raised me: a problem-solver, gentle leader, accomplished engineer, diligent visionary, obsessive artist, bastion for goofiness, and unapologetically authentic soul.
When his dad was in his final days, he stressed the importance of legacy to me. Now itโs time to fully appreciate his. For anyone interested, I spent the past few months cutting together a tribute that celebrates the terrific story of Tom Barito, featuring a 2026 remaster of, I think we can officially say, the best bluegrass song about climate change of all time. Link in bio.
we are thrilled to share that our upcoming album, RUSTY GRAND AM, will be available on 10/25
album art by our own @baritobobb ๐๐

Here are some of my favorite sound moments from @hundredsofbeavers , which is finally available to rent and own today on Apple TV + Amazon Prime
I spent 9 months pouring my DNA into every square inch of this movie and itโs my best work to date as a sound designer. Thank you to beaver boys @rylandtews and @mikeches for providing a trampoline of a film, to @the_foley_artist for laying the lush groundwork, and to @chrisryanmusic for making music that mixes like butter

3. Drying the log - wood bonks thru tape ๐ค๐ป
4. Crate vs Ryland - feat. a rare appearance by production sound
5. Pole slide - ball bearings thermal reaction slowed down 60%
6. The wind DJ - pitch shifting the breeze
7. X-wing icicle drop - baby elephant scream morphed with a jet engine & car driving on a wet road
8. Wolf fight - swords, cannons, horses. Things you wouldnโt expect to hear in a wolf fight
