Blog 1


Here is a little video automation project I did a couple years ago, from when I took a course in electronic music at University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee. We were given a video and told to make all the sounds for it. Since then, I've done a few other video / music collaborations, and would be very interested in making more in the future.


Here's something a little different.


Legendary LA audio engineer Chris Lord-Alge has produced for acts such as Prince, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, Rise Against, Bon Jovi, and hundreds more. Here we see him in the studio mixing Matt Bellamy's guitar for the song "Survival," off Muse's album, The Second Law. His decisions for audio aspects such as tone and what plugins to use are immediate and confident. His several-decades-long experience equips him with the instinct he needs to quickly and masterfully mix the guitar solo and figure out what sound qualities compliment the arc of the song as it progresses. In my opinion, The Second Law was not a terrifically written album, and is one of my least favorite in the band's discography. Still, it's packed with explosive and riveting sounds, thanks in no small degree to this man sitting at the boards.
