The work, and the shape of it

From a single song mixed for release to a debut EP built out of voice memos. Audio references and longer notes on any of these are available on request - tell us what you are working on and we will point you at the closest thing we have done.

Alternative rock

Alternative rock EP

Mix + Mastering

Drums tracked in a live room, doubled guitars and a lead vocal that had to sit above a dense wall without turning brittle. Instrumental versions and stems delivered alongside the masters.

4 songs - 34 to 42 tracks per song

R&B & soul

R&B / soul single

Mixing

Vocal-forward balance with tuning and comping on the lead, live bass kept in front of the beat, and an instrumental for the live set.

1 song - 28 tracks

Acoustic & folk

Singer-songwriter EP

Mix + Mastering

Sparse arrangements where a voice and one guitar carry the song: warmth, natural space, and nothing fighting the lyric.

5 songs - 12 to 16 tracks per song

Hip-hop

Hip-hop single with stem export

Mixing

Low end that stays solid on a phone speaker and in a car, ad-libs glued to the lead, and the finished mix split back out as stems.

1 song - 24 tracks

Indie pop

Debut EP built from demos

Full Song Production - Debut EP

Started as voice memos and one guitar-and-vocal take. Arranged, produced, mixed and mastered, with CD-ready release files and stems.
