MUSIC PRODUCTION
Albums, EPs, singles. From the first idea to the final master, or anywhere in between.
How we work
The song comes first. The feeling in the room matters almost as much.
We'll be working closely for a while, and the records that hold up are usually made by people who want to be in it together.
It's your record
We're here to help you make the record that's in your head. Not to replace it with our idea of what it should be.
There are two of us. Different strengths, different weaknesses, and enough trust to let the better idea win.
The process
We start by figuring out what the song wants to be, and what you want it to do.
Then we find the sound. Often, that takes longer than recording the take.
We edit and mix from the beginning, so the record keeps moving in one direction.
Every part matters, including knowing when to stop.
The right take
We listen for attitude.
Not perfection, not polish. The thing inside the take that makes you lean in. If it's there, we'll take the time to shape it. Imperfect and memorable beats perfect and forgettable every time.
The right players
If the song needs something we can play, we'll play it. Between us, we can cover most of the instruments a record might need. And when the right part calls for someone else, we know who to call. Nothing gets added just to add it. Only when it serves the record.
The raw stuff
Some of the best records start before anyone is paying attention. We like that moment. When the songs are raw, the band is hungry, and the sound is still finding itself. If there's something real in the room, we'll know what to do with it.
Listen
We also score films.
See scoring
Todd and Adrian are super open to hearing the things we have to say and the direction where we want the music to go. It's a collaboration and it's super fun. They are mentors.
Darren Kaiser. Strawberry Army.
There was good camaraderie with the three of us and they made me feel at ease. We spent every day in the studio and I felt at home in that space.
Andi Zyland. Mad Luck.
Tell us what you're making.
Got it. We'll be in touch.
