Signal Chains (beta)
Matt and I have been working on Signal Chains for a few months, and are finally somewhat ready for the public to see it. I’m going to create a crisis here to make what we did seem so much cooler:
The Problem: Audio gear is expensive. Few brick and mortar stores carry expensive audio gear and will let you get your grubby little hands all over it before purchasing. Conversely, when people post audio samples online, you’re not always sure what is involved. Is it really that mic that sounds that way? Or is the preamp they’re using coloring the sound?
The Solution: Signal Chains is essentially a way for audio engineers (or those who call themselves audio engineers) to share their signal flows through audio samples, documenting each piece and process involved. It does this by providing a somewhat standardized method of doing so.
“Salt” Remix
A remix I did of “Salt” by The Sailor Sequence. Enjoy the headroom.
I was planning on sharing the Live set as well, but it’s pretty large. I’m holding out to see if Ableton’s Share feature can handle stuff like this.

everyday/everynight - Moon Phases
This has been finished for a while but just recently released. It’s the debut release of a band several friends are in, everyday/everynight, and it’s called Moon Phases. I recorded, mixed, mastered, and played bass on this thing. I also painted the first moon on the cover art. All tracking was done within three days at my house. Mixing and mastering was done at The Punch in Lenexa, KS.
The main challenge throughout the whole process was not an uncommon one: retaining the dynamics of the songs without isolating you to a quiet room and an awesome stereo system. It’s definitely on average “quieter” than a lot of albums, but we all agreed it was an appropriate album for that sort of thing.
Pick one of these up and support your local working band. * rimshot *
“Twenty Two” and “Lila Rasa”
Two new releases from friends on Orchid Collective have been released and are available for purchase. Both Doby Watson’s Twenty Two and Matt Dill’s Lila Rasa are available as physical copies or digital downloads.
I recorded, mixed, mastered, and sang background vocals on a couple tracks on Twenty Two1. I co-mixed and mastered Lila Rasa. Both of these guys are touring together right now, so catch a show if they come near you and pick up a copy of each.
1 I might post on this soon. It was quite an adventure.
Little Chip Ringtones, Vol. 1
Little-Chip-Ringtones-Vol-1.zip
I’ve been sitting on these for a while, and now they’ll finally see the light of day. I present to you Little Chip Ringtones, Vol. 1. This implies that there will probably be a volume two. This download is a zipped directory of the following nuggets of aural delight:
“Asia”
I’ve never been to Asia. This is proof.
“Going Up?”
Working title was “Rossa Bossa”.
“Skills”
You’ve got them.
“Arpegginator”
Highly audible synth ringtone. Bring sexy back.
“Sunbrella”
Leftovers from a school project.
The first four ringtones use the same synths. They were created in Ableton Live. I might post the .als file if anyone is interested.
Enjoy. Feedback might encourage more.
