I will work with you to get the very best recording of vocals and live instruments with an assortment of microphones including tube and ribbon, many guitars, amps, and effects, a piano and a Fender Rhodes, Nord Lead, and Nord Electro 2. A vintage Pearl drum set or realistic programmed drums. Also, I have a vintage Roland Chorus Echo for rich reverb and echo.

My studio is a corner unit with tall ceilings that provide rich, natural acoustics and a great view of downtown Los Angeles from the giant windows. I call my studio the House of Mingus and it has certainly inspired some great music.

I lead a dual musical personality and not ashamed to admit it!
To your advantage actually as I have Folk Rock persona that understands an acoustic guitar as well as why you may choose a Les Paul over a 335 and I maintain a completely separate skill in Electronic Music including, but not limited to, Electro, EDM, and Downtempo.

Take a listen to Dogooder, my electronic music, and Damion Mikol Wagner, my folk rock music, on bandcamp.com and other steam services incuding Apple, Spotify, etc.

Some of my previous Studio Engineering and Production Work

Savishopper

Television commercial for an online retail store, the producer wanted it to sound like Kruder & Dorfmeister, so that’s what Ernest Jow, my partner at the time, and I gave them! I also got to use a hand drum I brought home from a trip Vietnam!

Tragic Clowns

I produced a 10 song album for The Tragic Clowns. I am especially proud of the rich percussion we achieved by drum programming with BFD2 and use of my vast collection of hand drums and odd string instruments.

Flying Gerkin

Voice over recording of Elizabeth McGrath for Nick Donkin’s upcoming animated feature.

LAPD: Life on the Beat

Cleaned up live microphones and dropped in background music for first three seasons of the popular reality television show about the Los Angeles Police Department.
