Ken Scott- Producer/Engineer Feature
This was a full circle project for me: I was intent on using as much material connected to my Alma Mater (Capital University)'s hosting of Ken Scott as Keynote speaker of the Sound and Media Workshop in 2025 as possible. I got ahold of the interview their radio station, WXCU, did with Ken from the head of the station as well as permission to use it in the feature. She was as excited about this project as I was. I'm particularly proud of how seamless the transitions are, and the little surprise at the end that reprises something from earlier in the feature. Hour 7 of my final editing session yielded that little gem.

Colorado Borderline by Moksha
This mix was a fun challenge for me to shape into something I felt was successful. It helped that Moksha gave an incredible, gelled performance despite being an only recently formed band. They had insisted on having a "lead" and "backing" electric guitar (both amps and DI). Harmonizing the same guitar with itself is trickier than you'd think: but I managed to fold the two together nicely through automation in a way that they don't compete with one another.

The Three Bears and the Wizard- Sound Design
Tad Jackson, the illustrator of The Three Bears and the Wizard, just so happens to be my partner. And my copy of the book is signed, of course. Thus, this was an experimental project that I was very determined to "get right". I had not ventured into foley work before (though I'd had a long time interest from my background in film) and I had a blast exploring the space of the foley studio I had access to. My favorite little easter egg, is you can hear some giggling from me and my assistant in one of the wind sound effects from me accidentally slamming a garden hose into the light fixture.
