I could only post 4 songs on myspace. To listen to more audio samples please visit my Studio Website
My recording career began back in high school when I received my first cassette 4 track. I recorded tons of demos of my own songs as well as silly projects I worked on with friends. Even though the Tascam Porta 02 was nothing special it allowed me express my musical ideas. I had it for years and even in college was my best friend. After getting accepted into the Music Production and Engineering major at Berklee College of Music I was thrown into a world I knew virtually nothing about. Four years later I left school with a head full of knowledge and almost no hands on experience aside from school projects and the limited amount of interning I did at a small studio by school. My first project outside of school was recording a local punk band in their basement on a couple of ADATs. My payment was enough cash to buy the mics, cables and stands we needed to get the job done. Slowly I started purchasing the gear I needed to build a studio.
In 2000 I moved into a House in Allston, MA with some of the guys in Big D. My bedroom in the basement was the control room and the open area at the bottom of the stairs became the live tracking space. The first Fork In Hand Studio was born. We had a 24 track ADAT setup in this shitty punk rock house. After a year of living there I moved to another shitty punk rock house in Lower Allston, which bred Fork In Hand Studios v2. My roommate Joe and I built a studio in the basement with a control room, 2 isolation booths and a tracking room. Luckily musicians had already lived there and the tracking room was completed already. I recorded a lot of cool bands down there and it was a great place to make DIY records. We upgraded to an Alesis hard disk recorder because the ADATs were not that reliable.
I lasted about 2 years in that space before moving out. That ended the physical location of Fork In Hand Studios. I’ve converted my studio into a “portable†setup so the gear can travel where I need it. It mainly exists in the Big D rehearsal space or where ever I have my laptop at the moment. The majority of the work I do in Boston is out of The Moontower in Cambridge, MA however I’ll work anywhere across the globe. I can also bring my gear and setup a studio anywhere with electricity.
