This is my current band. The instrumentation is piano, bass, drums, and string quartet, which makes performing a blast. The single, Just an Echo, is available below, along with two of the string quartet scores. ’

This record was recorded in Washington, D.C. in a basement and at Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty’s personal studio. It was then mixed in four days by the songwriter and me with grammy winning engineer Brian Thorn, and mastered by Joe Lambert (Animal Collective, The National, Deerhunter). It was released to critical praise from Stereogum, Brightest Young Things, and many others in January 2013.

For this record, I wrote and arranged parts for Hannah’s beautiful compositions, which we recorded in the Duderstadt Audio Studio at the University of Michigan and at my home studio in Ann Arbor, MI. Below I’ve included the string quartet score for Away From You. Please enjoy!

This was composed during my time as a freelance sound designer at MotherNY. This was my fourth demo composition in a three day period for this spot. It was a pleasure working through references and direction changes with the client to find something that worked well with their vision.

This was my personal project growing up – Butterfly Assassins was my Chicago-based “Chicago rock” band, which went on multiple midwestern and east coast tours, playing Chicago venues such as House of Blues, Metro, and Shubas Tavern with bands including Hanson, Girl Talk, Company of Thieves, Wax on Radio, Plain White T’s, This is me Smiling, etc. Fuuuu-uuunnn! Learned a ton, worked with amazing engineers at Gravity Studios, Shirk Music and Sound, and United Technique Studios, and mixing engineer Ed Stasium (The Ramones, Mick Jagger, Freddy Mercury).
This project involved a fair amount of arranging for strings, tenor sax, vocals, and trumpet.
