My Interests

I'd like to meet:

We would love to meet other engineers and producers who share a vision in making music that can have a lasting meaning to people. We strive to be more about the music than the gear ( we do like cool toys though )We would love to meet bands, artists, singer songwriters, Who are pushing themselves to create the best music they are capable of. Those are the records we want to be apart of.Those whose legacy is more important than their bottom line.and hopefully that describes us most of the time as well.
