A Roach Without It's Head
My debut EP and thesis for CalArts, this album aims to connect themes of dissociation to ambient music using only guitar looping as a creative restriction. Inspired by Reich, Glass, and Eno, this project tries to encapsulate the experience of dissociating, making the project a meditation on the concept.
Ray Kim's Emergence
Jazz Fusion album by saxophonist and CalArts alum Ray Kim. Recorded, mixed, and mastered over the course of two years, this project showcases my input at all stages of production.
Taran's BFA Animation, Solstice
My first film score composition work, Taran and I brainstormed a theme and aesthetic texture for the music to match their experimental hand-drawn style.
Ghouls of Today, Comet Dolly
Debut album from the experimental rock group, I assisted in the mixing and mastering process alongside Ian Pagan.
Teaching Assistant for Studio Recording classes at CalArts with John Baffa
Throughout my time at CalArts, my most transformative experience has been working for John Baffa's studio recording and live sound mixing classes. Not only did I learn industry-standard recording techniques and practices, but also the teaching methods Baffa has perfected over 25 years in the industry.
Studio Recording and Live Sound Mixing
Alongside working as a Teachers Assistant, I spent a majority of my time at CalArts working recording sessions in the school's ROD and DRS studio spaces, as well as working live sound through the school's concert crew program. Collaborating with my classmates has given me a foundation of work to solidify my skill-set as an audio engineer.
