OtherHand Recording
My tracking room, OtherHand Recording, remains a hub of creative activity. It’s where I write, produce, record, mix and master records for independent artists, and where I make my own.
For singer-songwriters and bands who want a record that sounds like them: honest, uncluttered and finished properly.
What I can do for your songs
Book one part, or bring the whole project from the first line to the final master.
-
Songwriting
Bring a verse, a hook or a voice memo. We sit down and write until it is a finished song with a shape you are proud of.
-
Production
Arrangements built around the song: vocals out front and only what the song needs. When a tune calls for more, I have a large and wonderful network of players to call on.
-
Recording
Vocals and instruments tracked in my own room, OtherHand Recording, with a dedicated vocal booth and a full control room.
-
Mixing
Mixes that give every part room to breathe, so the voice and the song carry the record.
-
Mastering
The final pass that makes a record sound finished on every speaker. If you’re making a record, don’t skimp on this part.
Services are being updated. Please get in touch.

How a project starts
Write to me
Use the contact form or email me. Tell me about the songs, where they are now and what you hear in your head.
Send the songs
A demo, a voice memo or a lyric sheet is plenty. A link to your SoundCloud or a shared folder works well.
Plan the record
We talk through what the songs need, from writing help to mixing and mastering, and decide where to start.
“Songs must breathe to be truly great.”
The ears after the ears
On my own records, Alf Rodenas mixed and Marc DeSisto mastered, and they made the music better than I could have on my own. As I said of Marc’s mastering: if you’re making a record, do not skimp on this part.
