This past weekend saw the release of the incredible new @bunnybloodband EP, “Big House”, which I had the absolute pleasure of mastering not too long ago. For a three-piece, they sound gargantuan and somehow can convey amazing depth and emotion across these songs, spanning sludge/doom metal at times, and the kind of eerie dread that bands like Deftones built a career on. I really can’t wait to see what they do next and how they build on their simple yet powerful sound. Honored to have been trusted once again to be a part.

Here’s a project that I recently worked on that I wanted to highlight: @mayanassibian ’s new record, “I’m not afraid of the dark”. This is a bold, totally unapologetic record that showcases Maya’s chameleon-like quality for adapting and expressing their voice in amazing ways, coupled with diverse production and genre-hopping that I think could derail certain folks, but not them! The focus is on-point here. This record has massive pop, swanky jazz, Latin, punk rock, and country tunes all over it - and yet it still feels cohesive and put together. There’s really something for everyone on it, and it was such a blast to work on. Thankful to have been trusted with it.

Happy Tuesday! This week, I’m stoked to have music to master from @gracenwynn , @terrainofficial , @stonecreeksparrows , and more. It may be rainy and dreary in DFW today, but the room is cozy and the music is lovely. Hope y’all have a great week! The background music is “All” by @kadeometer , which was recently released and mastered by me. #mastering #masteringstudio #commonwealthmastering #masteringengineer #audiomastering

Happy release day to the debut full-length record by my band, @adornband , “Let Love Remain”. There is so much to say about it but to keep it from being a novel—despite the hundreds of hours of prep, revisions, editing, and engineering, it was all worth it. I couldn’t be prouder of how it turned out, and to have done it almost entirely in-house was another success in its own right. I spent more time on the writing/singing, (as well as the masters) than anything else, ever, but I wouldn’t trade it. I hope you enjoy it, and if you like your loud, late 2000’s rock/post-hardcore, please give it a spin. I think you’ll be glad you did.

I’m a little bit late, but wanted to post about this recently released new song by the one and only @arynmichelle that I had the pleasure of mastering, “Glory Days (Jedidah)”. Aryn is in such a fun, creative, and freeing season of her career trying on all kinds of different sounds/genres/feelings, and this one captures the essence of 80’s pop, à la INXS and Tears for Fears, in such a great way. It’s endless catchy and engaging, while storytelling in the way that only she does. Proud to have been apart of it. Go listen!

Happy Monday, I’m excited to have lots of music to master this week, including a new great tune from @joylissamusic and a new EP from local DFW noise artist Peasant Mind! I’ve been making a concerted effort to be less active on social media lately (trying to avoid burnout), but I’m very much here and working on new music all of the time. I’m booking now for April/May, so if you have a project that you’re ready to finish, reach out and let’s get you taken care of. Hope you all are hanging in there out there, life is strange and overwhelming, but I’m trying to remain inspired and engaged all the same. The background music is “KICK BACK” by local producer/DJ-extraordinaire @hellospcmn , recently released and mastered by me. Go spin it. #mastering #masteringstudio #commonwealthmastering #masteringengineer #audiomastering

Happy release day to this beautiful and heavenly piece of indie pop by @gracenwynn , “Hurricane”! This song makes you feel like it lifts you from the ground and keeps you airborne for its whole runtime, and the production and performance have such a weightless quality to them that I really adore. Honored to have been a part of this one, it’s special. Out now!
