My old band is playing two shows this week, one at in Boston on Thursday with a bunch of friends bands and then the other is on Saturday at in Toronto. I supposed my “nah I’m not in a band, I quit music” bit is no longer relevant… at least for the rest of the month... See ya there? 🧐 (📸 by )

Busted out the MAJESTIC SEMI PRO snare (not quite “professional”, just sort of) for recording this weekend. Made in Japan in the 1960s (probably by Star, which is now ) with maple re-rings like an old Slingerland. I bought this at a thrift store and was actually slightly disappointed at how good it is because I was hoping it would sound “worse.” A+ quintessential dry “indie rock” sound. Also the MEGA DISTORTION is the best bad pedal ever. You win some, you win some (???)

The building currently occupied by Howling Wolf Taqueria here in Salem was once Hytron Radio and Electronics Co., which is likely where this particular tube was manufactured 80 to 90 years ago. Really happy to have found this piece for a couple bucks from while placing an order for other repairs! Obviously, it is very relevant to my interests knowing that there was once a vacuum tube factory right around the corner from

CBS bought out Hytron in the 1950s and built a large manufacturing plant on Endicott Street in Danvers, which is now the empty field next to MGH directly across from the Market Basket/Savers plaza. Bizarrely, that lot is also the location of the very first pear tree ever cultivated in North America. It dates all the way back to 1630 and is still alive almost four hundred years later. Alright word.

Old dog, new tricks.

Today is the 10th anniversary of my old band ’s first show so we put out a new album called Cowboy Music. I engineered this record between 2019 and 2020 and then co-mixed it together with for a much-needed second set of ears.

created an amazing album cover and took fantastic photos. did an incredible job mastering, as always. .c.___ helped out with the tune "Pink Rose" and our friends and Adam V. from put some crucial additional layers on "Fate.” It is currently only available on Bandcamp because messed up digital distribution and hasn’t responded to our emails but should be sorted out on Spotify and elsewhere soon, I hope.

While many of these songs are brand new, a few were almost a decade old and it is cool to have finally finished them up. Cerce introduced me to so many friends and opportunities and I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for this little ol’ band we started when we were 19. I am eternally grateful for all of it.

ULTRAPOP LIVE AT THE MASONIC by THE ARMED.

40+ people were grinding day and night on this MOTION PICTURE… I’m extremely proud of and what they have accomplished in what is likely their most insane and largest-scale endeavor to date. I thought that mixing their last album was going to be the craziest project I’d encounter for a while — turns out I was very, very wrong. Thanks for bringing me along for the ride.

Watch the trailer to hear a sneak peak of the cinematic version of “Ultrapop” — produced & arranged by me featuring , , and .

Really incredible electronic record by my friend is out now. I mastered the EP and ALSO co-produced the song “Ciervo” — one of my first creative musical endeavors in years! Very proud of this piece and how it came out! I am super grateful to still be working with Matt as a musical partner after many years in many different capacities. (IDM stuff for fans of Bjork, u-Ziq, Boards of Canada, etc)

ULTRAPOP, the album I mixed for THE ARMED, is finally here. This was hands-down the most intense project I had ever worked on and I am incredibly proud to have been a part of the team behind it. This album IS future music.

I mixed the record in a seven day marathon session, often working for 14+ hours straight with no breaks. For those who do not know, The Armed is a genre-bending "band" shrouded in secrecy, so I never spoke with the band members directly and all communication came through their “representative.”

The Pro Tools sessions had a minimum of 100 tracks per song. The representative would email me five-paragraph essays and call me from a restricted number multiple times a day to discuss “notes.” I was instructed to record strange overdubs such as my own voice (I don’t sing) and play the intro riff from “Today” by the Smashing Pumpkins and hide it in low the mix for multiple songs. In the early hours of the morning on the due date, I was still being emailed new tracks to add.

Several of my amazing friends make appearances on ULTRAPOP. .c.___ remotely co-produced the record and was only allowed to communicate with the band by mailing a USB flash drive back and forth to Detroit until they finally approved his tracks. When tracked drums, the band instructed him to drink boiling water steeped with raw garlic several times a day, insisting that it would allow him to keep up with the inhuman MIDI drums they had programmed. came through God City to sing all over the record at midnight quite literally the day final mixes were due. And of course, ULTRAPOP couldn't have happened without legend as executive producer.

Once the work was complete on my end, contact with the band turned to radio silence until I received an email months later: “Congratulations Zach, in return for all of your hard work, we are pleased to announce that you are now a member of The Armed. All future fame and fortune awaits.” Attached was an image file of Adam V. (The Armed's vocalist) and myself crudely photoshopped onto Billie Eilish and Finneas at the 2020 Grammy Awards. I haven’t heard a word since.
