Slowly but surely, the last of the records made at The Office are coming to light. We did drums for this one at The Bridge Sound & Stage in Cambridge (formerly Fort Apache Studios, where ISIS tracked drums for Oceanic) and a few vocals at Getaway Recording, but the rest was done at my old spot. Check out this first single and stay tuned for more!

It occurred to me that I never posted about this album on here. It’s called At Once by a band called The Most. The band is very good and they let me mix and master it. You’ll like it if you aren’t a boring nerd who only likes dumb shit.

Just-released new track from Monoliths. Recorded mostly live at The Office sometime last year I think. Never mastered I guess.

If you haven't noticed (and you haven't), I've changed this page over from its now-defunct Office branding over to a page for myself as a recording professional. I will continue to post updates on my current and recent projects here. To check out a portfolio of highlights from my work and generally learn more about me, hop over to my new website, of which I am very proud. Thanks for looking.

The Office Recording (2010-2016)

I’ve been sitting on this news for a while, waiting to see how things would play out, but at this point it’s pretty safe to say that after 5+ years, The Office will close permanently in early 2016, as the property on which it sits is being sold to some folks who have other plans for it. As much as this is a huge bummer, it could be worse; there is plenty of time to determine what my next steps will be, specifically where (or even IF) I will open a new recording spot. If you have any leads on that sort of thing in the greater Boston area, please get in touch.

In the meantime, I’m looking to record/mix as much as possible between now and February/March of next year to send this place out in style. So if you’ve ever wanted to make a record here and haven’t had the chance, now would be a great time to make plans with me.

To our friends, family, and fans:

The band known as Native Wildlife will be coming to an end. Nick will be moving to Austin in May, and it is our unanimous belief that this band cannot exist without him. From the start, Nick has been a deeply committed bandmate whom we love like a brother, and his presence is a big part of what makes us the band we are. This split is nothing but amicable, and the rest of us give Nick our best wishes as he starts a brand new life for himself.

Our final release, Native Wildlife, is available for streaming at nativewildlife.bandcamp.com as of right now. Cassette preorders are available via Head2Wall Records here. 

The farewell show will be on May 3, one month from today, in Somerville, MA. We will be sharing the stage with many of our close friends. You can find more information here.

Fortunately, we are all moving forward with other musical endeavors. If you haven’t listened to Tri-State Era, The Most, Tiny Fractures, or Ember Wreath,  now is a great time to do so, since they all have new material coming out. Also, Nick has been extremely active with Heads Up Records. 

This band has given us opportunities we would have otherwise never dreamed of, and for that we are endlessly grateful. We could not have done it alone, so thank you all.

Best wishes,

Native Wildlife 2011-2015

We tracked some of the guitar parts for this final release on a portable tape machine, using the same 1/4″ reel on which we recorded parts of the Blackwood EP back in 2012. As I rewound and rewound so I wouldn’t record over any of that audio, I came across the oldddd (’70s? ‘60s? earlier?) sample you hear at the beginning of the first track. It appears to be an original tune (or at least a very obscure one) performed by some unknown players, but the lyrics struck me right away: “Goodbye / Oh, I loved her so dear / and her love I did not fear / I thought it would always last / but now it’s in the past.” We knew it had to be the first thing anyone heard, to set the tone for the EP. It’s a swan song that will absolutely knock you on your ass and I’m thankful to have been a part of this band’s recorded output (some of my best work IMO) and to be able to call them friends. RIP NW Long Live NW

Serious post-rock jams by my friends. Excellent snow day fare. 

[mikemoschetto]

I’m so glad this is finally out. I was so stressed about this session - most bands I record/mix come from a town over, a state over, maybe a few states over…but these dudes drove like 24 hours each way to come up to Massachusetts from Louisiana. Not even touring their way up + down, just to record. Was very relieved when I didn’t blow it and this EP came out really great.
