Damon and Rob asleep in Jeff Zeigler's sponge factory studio (pre Uniform Recording between "Cats of the Wild Volume 2" sessions. Philadelphia, August 2001. A very common Swirlie sleeping arrangement from 1990-present, as any current or former band member would know.

A very kind shoutout by bud Chris Forsyth. Gimme a shout if you’re looking to make some records in 2022!

Hey just a Happy New Year recommendation here. This is engineer/producer/musician/100% best dude Jeff Zeigler. If you’re in Philly you definitely know him and there’s an excellent chance that even if you’re not in Philly, you know him. And if you’ve ever heard my music, you’ve heard him, as he’s had a hand in literally everything I’ve done in the last 12-13 years. He’s got big ears, mega chops, excellent ideas. If you’ve got a recording/mixing project coming up, I’m here to suggest his services, remote or in person for your rock, electronic, ambient, free jazz, cool jazz, death jazz, hair metal, shoe gaze, hip hop, post-punk, country funk, or other retro futurist mangling of all sorts. Hit him up! Love ya, JZ!

For the last months, Ive had the pleasure of working with Ricardo Rivera on the newest installation by Klip Collective as the music director, collaborator and sound designer/composer.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with some truly inspiring sound artists on this project such as: Dan Deacon, Mary Lattimore - Harpist, Julianna Barwick and Jeff Zeigler aka Uniform Recording- all of whom had created bespoke pieces for this show. The soundtrack CD package , designed by Anthony Smyrski Studios, is available for purchase ONLY on location at Grounds For Sculpture gift shop and available to stream on Spotify.

So…. if you are in the area, please come and visit, and enjoy some mind-melting.

hey all, here i am, once again a bit wary of sharing this but am on the *final leg* of finishing the studio and way over budget and schedule due to a variety of unfortunate and unexpected circumstances. if you’ve got the means to donate to finishing the space i am eternally grateful, but if not feel free to send this link to your financially well-off aunt or uncle that really like to jam out to some of the records i’ve worked on. thanks again and love to you all.

Hey All, so due to delays and disruptions caused by repeated flooding and personal health issues, i’m somewhat reluctantly setting up a smallish gofundme to help with the financial impact of building out a new space, the inherent loss of work/income over the last four months, and to help with co.....

just wanted to thank everyone whose contributed thus far at any level - your help in getting past these hurdles and completing the studio has been invaluable. so far the test seal i’ve temporarily installed in the leak zone - complete with 3x strength loctite surrounding the grommet, and multiple layers of weight on top - has held, and i’ve got a sump pump on standby if need be until we implement a more permanent solution.

am in the midst of console install and building as we speak, and am starting a few more sessions to keep some level of cash flow, but i’m still hoping to meet the final goal in order to get the studio finished soon, and open for y’all! thanks again for all of your kindness and support. been a helluva few months on a variety of fronts.

So i’m ending this campaign later today and just have to say THANK YOU. i’m completely overwhelmed by the show of support, and can’t properly express how much this campaign has saved this studio and helped me regain some sanity. I’ve always taken pride in helping to connect artists with each other, or with gear that they need in a pinch, or coordinate a show etc. I’ve also always tried to keep my rates low enough for artists to stretch out and make creative records - even on a tight budget - probably part of the reason a lot of the bands i’ve worked with have had our records together become a jumping off point for reaching a larger audience. I strongly believe in the importance of our music community, both in Philly, nationally and internationally, and am beyond grateful to feel that support coming back at me. Love you all and I look forward to producing great records for you from the very special space i’m creating. TLDR; Flooding is a nightmare, as are adverse reactions to Antidepressants and rando Thyroid-induced exhaustion. There’s more but i’ll spare you for now! Thanks again everyone.
