Music Production

By the age of 14 I was studying classical piano for almost 10 years, playing guitar in bands, developing my drum set abilities more and more, along with regularly seeing live music of all kinds in New York. Since then, my compositional voice has brought power chords and drum set grooves to the orchestra as well as a symphonic approach and academic mindset in the recording studio.

For music production, I cannot emphasize enough how great it was to work with Aaron Walters. His organization and planning is unmatched, creating an efficient process for exercising creativity. If you work with Aaron, all of the unforeseen project barriers will be identified and preemptive solutions will be presented. In addition to his ability to lead the project in studio and in production, his compositional knowledge is unparalleled. Aaron helped bring our songs to life with wonderful string quartet arrangements, as well as thoughtful notes on song and lyric structure. I contacted Aaron for a professional, high quality product and I would encourage any level of musical artist to do the same.

Upcoming Projects

Basic Printer - Fantastic Wrist

I'm co-producing and doing compositional advising for Basic Printer's upcoming full-length record going. He's going to a darker place than he's been in a while but it will remain a robust, sensational record.

  • Bassist in Modern Instincts
His expertise in maximizing both efficient use of studio time and creative experimentation was very helpful as I was afraid that those things would be in tension with one another. I experienced him as both a disciplined professional and a curious, enthusiastic musician. He was willing to do everything from facilitate creative decisions about harmony and timbre to make sure that we ate lunch. He also wrote the string parts for the record that included a long instrumental interlude where the strings, playing without the rest of the band, captured the mood of the record and the melancholy of the lyrical themes. It is a highlight of the record in my opinion. I would highly recommend Aaron's expertise, professionalism, musicianship, and general attitude.

I write concert music as well.
