Adventures in Foley

I’ve been doing a bit of Foley work with Shane Sattler at Kustom Sound and Media. The editorial side of it, his area of expertise, is nothing less than painstaking. My job is a lot more fun. For this particular film, it has included stomping on a tire, tossing around an old wheel, and hitting Shane with a purse. I’ll have you know it was his purse.

Capturing a Cooper tire in all its intimacy.
The proper technique for micing an eighty-four Ford Ranger. The eighty-five is completely different.

Kustom Sound and Media

My buddy, Shane Sattler, runs Kustom Sound and Media (KS&M), a recording studio in Mohave County, Arizona. It’s pretty much a project studio on steroids. Shane does music, video, editorial, Foley, and a bunch of stuff I know nothing about. The guy is a ninja.

Yesterday we made a demo video for KS&M. I played drums and percussion; he took care of the rest. We had fun. I think that’s evident.

Introducing The Sonny Lamson Project

It’s been busy around here lately, and I haven’t said anything in this space. I thought I’d take a moment to write about my new musical endeavor.

I have been working on a fusion project with pianist Sonny Lamson, guitarist Eric Clemenzi, and bassist Steve Belleville. After a few months of writing and development, a couple of trips across the country, and several mad, reclusive days of rehearsing and recording, we have some material to share.

I’ve made it sound like a lot of work, and it was, but it was also way too much fun. We’re excited about this. Here is “No Parachute,” from The Sonny Lamson Project:

Here is our electronic press kit. Visit my music page and you’ll be able to check out a couple of other tunes. As always, thank you for listening.
