Making, recording, and collecting music in Portland, OR.

Working out of Jackpot! Recording Studio, 

The Hallowed Halls, and his home studio.




As a producer, I am always my clients'

and collaborators' number one fan.


I will judge you for how good your good ideas are,

not how bad your bad ideas are.


It's all about getting the best sounds for an excited crowd,

or giving everyone what they need in the studio

to feel artistically safe and inspired to be

the best version of themselves for the project.


I take having fun very seriously -

balancing hard work with happiness is so important.

There is nowhere I would ever rather be than your show or session,

and nothing I would rather be doing... 

 

Whether keeping it classic or creating something unique, 

you will always get what you're looking for with quality.

Are you ready to finally start your podcast,

looking for someone to handle the audio for it?

Or do you need music, sound effects, editing,

or writing/ideas for the show you already have?


(discounted if you want royalty-free music)

(as hands-on or held-back as you'd like)

(Spoken word, rock, hip hop, jazz, ambient, folk, experimental, lo-fi, hi-fi... i love it all!)



Studio Tracking/Overdubbing/Mixing




And much more!



Available for audio work, 

project/event needs,

or studio time.


$15-25/hour
Sometimes the rate is per
song/podcast/session/event/etc.
Let's talk!

Happy to work with any budget.
Please get in touch if there's anything I can do,

and we will make it happen, especially if
you know your song is good enough...
then send me a demo now and pay me back

with a shoutout in your Grammy speech later :)

Art and love are how his life has any meaning.
Being it, making it, constantly consuming it,
almost never good enough, always growing,
always learning...  


Most of the released Rain Dares music as of now

is unfinished (both by choice and tragically),
though both can get pretty cringe the further back you go.
The books are definitely worth buying though!
