This is another example of a recital recording I did while at OSU. This project was a great example of working while under constraints; the person letting us into the venue was late meaning I had less than 45 minutes to set up three microphones and get the computer set up. I'm not as happy with how these came out. There are certain things I would do differently given more time to set up and a do over.

recordings I got from this opportunity. Jon Sharp played beautifully in this performance.
I also enjoy producing my own music on the side. Here are three songs from a short ep I produced this past year. The picture here is of my buddy Gabe Abas playing drums for one of the songs.
