Song: We’re America Too

Performer: Squeakie feat. Mya Byrne

My Role: Recording/Mix Engineer

Recorded: April 24, 2025

What an honor to record this talented band and their guest artist, queer Americana icon Mya Byrne, performing this incredibly powerful protest song. This was my first solo engineering experience at the legendary Hyde Street Studios. Recorded on a vintage Neve 8038 console in Hyde Street’s Studio A, this session included electric guitars, bass, drums, fiddle, pedal steel, vocals, harmonica and hand percussion. This single was mastered by Piper Payne.

Podcast: This Is The Way (Episode 20)

Hosts: Richard Kim and Justin Tiwald

My Role: Recording Engineer

Recorded: April 17, 2025

This podcast episode was recorded live in a small, untreated conference room at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco’s Union Square. This Is The Way, a Hong Kong-based podcast, came to San Francisco for an American Philosophical Association conference and received a sponsorship from the Hong Kong Ethics Lab to record their first-ever episode with a guest speaker and live audience, including a wireless mic for Q&A. This episode was mixed and edited by Lena Li in Hong Kong.

Song: Queen of Cups

Performer: Side Pony

My Role: Lead Engineer/Mix Engineer

Recorded: November 18, 2023

My first experience as lead engineer on a recording session, including coordinating with the band, choosing the mics and supervising their placement, running the Trident 88 console and mixing the song in Pro Tools. It was a joy to work with this sweet, fierce, queerpunk band from Oakland, CA. 

Song: 2045

Performer: Renee Harcourt

My Role: Mix Engineer

This recording session was given to me to mix as a class project, and I fell in love with the eclectic variety of sounds and with the lyrical musings of a woman beginning to suspect that all is not well with her charmed life. The assignment was to add MIDI instrument content to the project, which I did using Pro Tools Xpand!2 during the solo and outro.
