Licensing
- I currently have 107 songs available for easy licensing here in FirstCom's catalog. I also have an extensive instrumental library available for projects as well as many songs not among the 107 listed in the above catalog.
Music composition
- For film, TV, advertising, games, or personalized custom songs for private use. See portfolio page for some examples. Custom song examples are at the bottom of the portfolio page. Further credits are listed here. Prices vary wildly depending on scope and budget of project.
Production
- The ideal client is a singer/songwriter. No need to play an instrument. You send me your vocal tracks and I build the music around that. If you are in the Austin area I can record your vocals at my studio.
Bass Playing
• I sideline as a session bass player on AirGigs. Click here to peruse my profile, see my reviews, etc.
Technical Audio
- Between 2011 and 2016 I was part of a 3 person team who mastered every single line of dialog for the biggest voice recording project on the planet, Star Wars: The Old Republic as a contractor for Bioware. Over a quarter of a million lines of dialog came to us in Austin from dozens of studios in LA, New York and London. Each studio had a different sound and each of the hundreds of characters had a different sound as well. Our job was to make all lines sound consistent in volume and equalization as well as to attenuate sibilance and fricatives, and remove mouth smacks and clicks and ambient noises and hums and rumbles.
- If you are an author or publisher and need an audio book recorded and edited I have that capability, as well as access to world-class narrators.
Private lessons for kids
- If you are in Austin and would like to learn how to write, record and produce songs and/or score for picture in a relaxed, low-pressure environment I sometimes have room for a few students. The ideal candidate is age 11-18 and has already had piano or guitar lessons. Ability and willingness to sing are helpful. Extremely shy people are especially welcome.
