I've been on over 50 unique releases now, counting singles, EPs, albums, and compilations. I've learned a staggering amount since I started releasing music, and my stuff sounds lightyears better now. But it all started with this:

Plexamp is the most elegant media player, and you can't convince me otherwise.

I may not be the peak male form but I must be peak enough to just have finished writing an incredible post-metal album that I canโ€™t wait to share with the world ๐Ÿคฉ

I was surprised to learn that my old tape player still works, so Iโ€™m jamming some Theophonos from Ten Plagues Tapes to celebrate ๐Ÿ™Œ

My hand Signosis is booking studio time to record drums for our debut. Hereโ€™s one of my favorite moments from one of the songs that will be on that album. From our last show at 27 Club in Asheville, NC (6-14-25) #deathmetal

There are many alternate timelines in which I lose my battle with depression. I wrote the title track for this project convinced I was going to lose that battle here, now. But it turned into a deeper exploration of the subject. I have my reasons for sticking around. Thank you for listening ๐Ÿ™

The "BlueSky is boring" narrative going around because it's not like Twitter w/the toxic,negative,hateful,and among other factors that people wanted to get away from. Do those people consider that people want to be peaceful and not chaos, Twitter and other social media sites like that ruined minds.

Repent by Gnashing Teeth, Hymns of Precession by WITNESS, Hypnagogic Dayblooms by Teach Them To Weep, and Lamentations by Liminalanimal. As well as a ton of my own projects like Pull The Strings, Signosis, and Snowing In Peru.

Lot of new followers, so a little about me. I'm a musician, and a recording, mixing, and mastering engineer. I'm self-employed, so if anyone needs mixing or mastering, let's talk. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to renew my website with my portfolio, but I've worked on albums such as:

What was your first real instrument? Not counting toy guitars or pots and pans. Mine was an OLP 5-string bass that I got from a family friend in probably 2008. Fun fact, it never had an output jack, the whole time I had it. I never once got to hear it plugged in.

For the record, trans people are amazing. The fact that they exist does nothing to harm anyone else. I have absolutely nothing but respect for those who live life on their terms. This world can try to beat us down and kill us for many reasons. I know because Iโ€™m disabled and fighting every day.

It's depressing as hell, but I do think anti-AI communities will become stronger and stronger. The one that comes to mind first is @ampwall.com's official Discord server. Full of artists who hate AI and support each other and the underground in general.

The tape and album for hymns of precession by witness

The tape and album for hymns of precession by witness

This was here today!

Witness

It was a sort of accident I got the tape and record. I loved this so much when I heard it I bought the tape instantly without scrolling.

A while later I found them on bandcamp and saw the vinyl and went back to ampwall for it too.

Pick up a tape if you can spare the $13 incl. shipping (US.) All proceeds go to Mosh 4 Lives.

For me itโ€™s the augmented bass and barely-there guitar tones. A lot of these mixes use a synth bass or subharmonic generator and it sounds like shit. And the guitar tones are so aggressively EQโ€™d that thereโ€™s not much left. And of course, the hard Autotune.

Every top mastering engineer eventually gets their own personal "mojo box" made with one boutique hardware manufacturer or another. It may never happen for me, but best believe I think about what mine would be ๐Ÿ˜‚

My mastering heroes include Major Applebaum, Brad Boatright, Kris Crummet, and Alan Douches, among many others. If anyone seeing this is a mastering engineer, drop your heroes in the replies ๐Ÿค˜ #mastering

Anyone who knows me well knows I am a huge mastering nerd. The most boring part of making music to some, but a trove of autistic-hyper-fixation-worthy sorcery to me. It just makes me happy, taking something further past the finish line than originally thought possible.

I was one of those sensitive kids who would cry when an adult made fun of me. And you know what? I still vividly remember how humiliating those encounters were. And I remember seeing it happen to other kids and feeling gross then too. Itโ€™s a betraying feeling.

Posted this on threads, thought I'd share here too. I want to play bass on your record/EP/single! Extreme metal, post metal, post hardcore, whatever you've got. I've played for over 15 years, played with two live metal bands, and I'm passionate about it.
