I've been interested in the process of recording music since I was 16. It started with a computer MIDI program I downloaded and eventually I got a Yamaha keyboard and teaching myself how to record, edit and mix sound files and recording songs I wrote. I took a Recording Arts program at NSCC where I got to learn a whole lot more about the recording process and how much I didn't know or realize. This section is dedicated to that aspect of what I like to do. Containing songs I engineered, recorded, mixed, mashed together or wrote and recorded myself both in and out of school.
Recorded Samples
The following are samples of recordings that I engineered while in the Recording Arts program at NSCC. The first one was a recording co-engineered with Kris as a mid-term project with Heart-Shaped Heart. The next two are samples from my final project with songs by Mitchell Hunter. The drums for both songs were by Steven Harris and the guitars in Angi by Kristina Trites.

Monster MegaMix
Being inspired by various mixes of artists' songs, mostly the GHV2 Thunderpuss Megamix of Madonna's 90's material, I decided to make one for some of the songs off of The Fame and The Fame Monster by Lady GaGa. The end result is the Monster MegaMix. The original version was 12 and a half minutes so I had to make a slightly shorter version to upload to YouTube so that's the 7 and a quarter minute version. I think it's a fun mix.

My own songs
These are songs I've recorded both in and out of the studio. Mostly recorded with my keyboard at home and brought into the studio where I recorded vocals and mixed the songs, all with the exception of Professional Years which is the most recent one I've made and completely at home.
