Before and After
Maria Constantine - Red Brick Wall
Demo fades into Final
Red Brick Wall is a song which I co-wrote with my friend Maria Constantine for her debut EP, Walk With Me. She came to me with the melody and lyrics, and I then wrote chords to accompany her. After the song was written, I arranged a full band of my favorite studio musicians to come and lay down some basic tracks. Acoustic, electric, and percussion were later overdubbed so their parts could be carefully orchestrated to best fit what the song needed. The song most notably features angelic harmonies arranged by myself and performed by Maria.

Steel Mill Rising - Something To Believe In
Demo fades into Final
Something To Believe In is a song written by Matthew Kamenicky and his band Steel Mill Rising. It was also the second single released for their second studio album, Highway Traveler. He wrote the entire song, and the band worked out their parts. When I got involved, I suggested that they make form revisions and then rewrote the guitar parts. In addition to recording, mixing, and mastering, my job was to capture the band's performance and bring out the best of every member.
