Music

I absolutely love listening to electronic music, and I always wanted to produce my own. Unfortunately, the learning curve is steep, and I had to spend many hours to make the tracks below. I’m glad I made them, but it wasn’t a very fun process. I hope that someday I can get good enough at music production to enjoy the process. Until then, I’m at least happy to have these tracks, which I made with Ableton Live.

Singing is the form of art most connected to my soul. Below is a collection of cover songs I made when I was working at BARS+TONE, a video production and editing company. We had a sound isolation booth and a nice microphone that were perfect for recording music. By using high-quality karaoke tracks instead of recording the music from scratch, I was able to focus on the vocals, which was what I cared about. This allowed me to produce a song with 4–6 hours of effort, which is a fraction of the time it would have taken. I had the pleasure of recording my dear friend Ryan on a couple of the tracks, and also my wife Kerry!
