Recording

I'm always interested in new recording projects. I have a wide variety of playing experience which I can bring to the table. In a recording situation, my main ambitions are:

  • Achieve the goal of the project by being the most solidly supportive I can be
  • Meet the producer's needs by being flexible in my playing and attitude
  • Provide a good sound by being prepared for the project and knowledgeable of my own and other equipment
  • Maintain a comfortable working environment by staying relaxed, friendly and as always, supportive

I look at recording as an opportunity to hone and clarify my playing, expand my creativity and explore new music. I offer very competitive rates for recording in your studio or can provide a great, clean sound at a discounted rate by recording in my own home studio. For samples of my playing, please visit my Audio page. If you're at all interested in working together, don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your project and set up a meeting.
