Ulysses Accomplished
Monday, July 21st, 2008Yes, it’s been a long time since my last post. Sorry about that. Life has a way of taking priority over posting random thoughts on the internets. The past few months have been really busy for me both musically and otherwise. Before the Producers Conferences came up I was tied down […]

CD production madness
Thursday, March 20th, 2008The Ulysses project with Goh has been on hold until we can get back into Tiny Telephone, so he decided to print a new run of his first album “Daylight Savings”. Despite being swamped with another major project, I took on the responsibility of trying to deal with the layout for the production run. […]
Goh-ing Analog
Friday, February 1st, 2008I’ve been up in San Francisco for a couple of days working on the mixdowns of Goh’s album - which is now titled “Ulysses”.

Recording Session with Goh Nakamura
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

For over a year now, I’ve been helping my friend, […]

Back to Old School
Thursday, March 29th, 2007For the past month or so, I’ve been helping my friend, Goh Nakamura, work on some stuff for his next album. Bear in mind that Goh and I are probably at the opposite ends of the musical spectrum. These days, my world is pretty much software and he’s an old school singer/songwriter troubadour, […]
Biggest Reason Laptop Jam Yet!
Saturday, March 10th, 2007The last Reason Laptop JAM was bigger than expected which turned out to be a mixed blessing. It was great to have a large turnout, and surprising to see so many Reason users in the Silicon Valley area who were up for the challenge. We even had one fellow Reason user come out […]
