My interest in audio production began over 12 years ago when I started recording my own music. My first recordings were live to stereo cassette and then on a Fostex 8-track reel-to-reel. Experimental recording sessions and my own overnight radio show on WMPG led me to the Art Institute of Seattle, where I graduated with a degree in Audio Production. I also worked live sound at the Showbox and Rkcndy in Seattle, while I was an A&R Rep at a record label and recording demos with my band.
In 1999 I moved back to my home state of Maine, and continued to explore digital recording. After many years of extensive home recording, I recently took my skills to Big Sound in Westbrook, where I recorded and mixed many local and regional acts.
There are many great bands in Southern Maine who don't have the means to record at the larger studios. I have long seen the need for an affordable option for musicians without large budgets who still want to achieve a quality product. I built Bipolar to help bridge the gap between home recording and large studio production.As a musician myself, I approach my role as engineer understanding the creative process, and strive to foster a comfortable and stress-free recording environment for musicians of all levels.
My studio setup is simple: microphones, ProTools, Mackies. The signal flow is clean and quiet with a great sounding, heavily isolated live room, and offers bands an affordable option above and beyond the laborious task of recording themselves.
