DNB From Scratch

I tried an experiment recently where I wrote drum n bass with drums, bass, and guitars. I first wrote a song, then slowed it down to track the drums, and then sped it back up, because that's roughly how the genre was created to begin with.

Learning With Covers

I have been teaching myself how to record music for several years. To get started, I figured I should do a bunch of cover songs and I would switch to recording my own music once I got the hang of it. I never shared the covers... until now!

A Guide To Making Good Demos

Here are the steps I use when I'm prototyping a song in Logic. It is based almost entirely on plugins that come builtin with Logic, except for the amp sim. You only need to bring your eyes, your ears, and your guitars.

Finished Tracking 3 EPs

I have been writing and recording three EPs for my solo project, american f00d, and I'm thrilled to report I have finished tracking everything.

The Penny Royalties

I once played drums in a Nirvana cover band for Halloween. We called ourselves The Penny Royalties. We performed Nevermind from start to finish to celebrate the album's 25th anniversary on October 29th, 2016.

  Rodeo Clown, by Lifetime

  Scott Golley. What an animal he is on the drums. He's one of my biggest influences.

  Tire Me, by Rage Against The Machine

  This is my favorite Rage song. It is punk af while retaining Rage's mighty fingerprint.

  The Casket of Roderick Usher, by Finch

  One of my favorite Finch songs on a criminally underrated album. The first time I covered drumming done by a friend.
