full-stack web development.

Music Services - Production and Performance

I started playing guitar at 14 with the goal of writing original music and have pursued that dream relentlessly since. I released two EPs and performed a dozen shows with my high school band, then later went on to form Perlin Noise in 2017. We've released three albums, an EP, and play monthly shows in the greater Philadelphia area. In the band I've performed on vocals, guitar, synth, and bass.

In 2021 I built a proper studio for recording my music. I've since become passionate about recording and mixing, using a blend of vintage and modern techniques to create a sound inspired by European studios in the late 70s and early 80s.

My Philadelphia studio is open to clients. Previous clients have used it as a one-stop recording and mixing shop, while others have used it to workshop ideas and record tracks before taking their music on to larger studios.
