New EP by Alive In The End is out today! This is another one recorded and mixed by one of my original VÁNAGANDR band mates, Kevin. Featuring not one, but two guitar virtuosos, it features some really sick guitar solos and riffs and it was a real fun one to work on! Mastered here at Ted Whitten Media!

Went to an presentation by on the use of infrasound in music and got to experience his new speaker setup. This new rig, called the Terror Generator, has a 1x15 for a tweeter, driven by a Crown amplifier, and a 1x30 Powersoft M-Force driver housed in a custom built enclosure and driven by a 14kW M-Drive amplifier. Check out Matthew's Instagram page to see build photos!

New single by Helion Prime out today. Mixed by Michael Goodrich at Hypnotic Audio and mastered here!

♾️OUT TODAY♾️

Helion Prime has a "new" single out today. A reimagining of our song "Spectrum" from our second album. This time we are bringing things down with this acoustic version.

This song has always been important to me. It might be the most important song I think I've ever done. Like most things you pull from your own experiences and knowledge and at the time of the second albums release I was working at a private school for autistic children. I worked with very severe cases. Before working at this school my knowledge and experience to all of it was zero to none. It really hit me that so many people really weren't aware and I wanted to do my small part to help bring that awareness to the community I helped.

When we first released Spectrum it unfortunately didn't land how I originally had hoped and I actually got push back from the very community I was wanting to help and that stung more than any negative comment I could read about how "this band sucks" because I felt like I had failed. I spent a good amount of time reaching out to people and I soon learned that I STILL had so far to go in understanding this wonderful community.

I approached Sozos about the idea of doing an acoustic version of this song and he was into the idea! We both agreed it would be a good opportunity to redo the lyrics and have a less bleak approach. As that was never the intent to begin with.

The story of "Spectrum" is told through the eyes of a parent with an autistic child on the severe side of the spectrum and the learning, patience and understanding that comes with it. Again, pulling from the experience I had at my former job. The parents unconditional love and also worry that they themselves aren't doing enough and failing their child but still understanding the beautiful person they are.

This song might not be for everyone and it's a bit on the softer side that we normally do but this song means a lot to me and if it can do right by the community it aims to help then that's enough. I hope you enjoy this new version of Spectrum!

Incredibly honored to have the opportunity to work on this album. Jurre writes some of the most hauntingly beautiful folk music you will ever hear and it was an absolute pleasure to have his music cross my desk! I'd encourage everyone to go check out his Bandcamp page! (link in the comments)

Today I reveal to you a very special project and a first single!

(All links are in the comments)

10 years ago I found myself in a very remote cabin in the woods.
It is in that isolation that I wrote my wrote my first coherent release, it was a 30 minute acoustic piece that had all the flaws and shortcomings you might expect from a first release
A mostly acoustic and piano based instrumental album, inspired by melancholy and aspiring to bring back the same musical essence and nostalgia as soundtracks to games such as Final Fantasy, Zelda, Chrono Trigger
I guess I could describe this as acoustic metal, or ambient folk, but this genre picking has always seemed irrelevant to the actual music
Never had I given this album much of a second thought until recently, when I decided that this is a very unique experience musically that I'd like to share with people on its 10 year anniversary
I've spend the last months rewriting, recording and reworking this entire release from scratch and even adding 2 completely new songs.
It is now, after 10 years hopefully a release worthy of your time and attention.

I present to you, Fragmented
This is 44 minutes of melodic ambient melancholy over 10 songs.
It is a release that I'll be presenting under my own name due to the age of this album and the very different ambience that I've set out to create with Thurnin.
Yet I hope this is a release all Thurnin fans will want to experience (maybe even enjoy it!)

This album will release on May 3rd and a single is available as of right now on bandcamp and youtube.
It will be available on all streaming services as well as a physical copy in the near future

The cover art has been done by the immensely talented André Simões and I could not be happier with his contribution

Thank you all, Be well

New single by BroadWing is out today, mastered here! Give it a spin and let me know what you think!

New single is finally OUT with & !

We met Lea during a live twitch on music video show and was stoked to connect with her on loving her new ep and maybe collabing sometime. After shooting some voice memos and ideas back and forth and her connecting in Grant seeing a vision for him in the track we hit it off on this concept together and got to work. As artists and people I think it’s a little in our blood to be a little crazy and for there to always be some type of inner battle and reoccurring friction themes in our lives and each of us told a story personal to us in some way in here on how we can be a little psycho and how repetitive those character flaws can show up in life as we get older.

We absolutely couldn’t have made this track happen without a STACKED team we are infinitely grateful and lucky to have had.

It was so fun to watch three young bands get up on stage and rock their hearts out! Glue The Band, .band, and , it's reassuring to know that the future of rock and roll is in very good hands with each and every one of you. Grateful to .memorial for hosting this event, it was good for my soul!

Quick reminder, this got moved to the 14th due to the snow storm, and I'll be there as one of the judges! Can't wait to watch these bands kill it on stage! 🤘

Had a fun one come across the desk this week. I can't wait for you all to hear it!

Took a break from room construction for a little side project. Couldn't bring myself to drop thousands on Sound Anchors or similar, so I decided to build my own stands instead! Got a little bit of helpful advice from Matt Davis over at Hacienda Mastering, and just made the rest up as I went. Tomorrow I'll be adding about a hundred pounds of sand to each, then I'll let them sit and see if they hold up to the weight! Wish me luck... 😂

A while back Jesse Zuretti offered music consultations and used it as a way to raise money for a local charity called Art From the Streets, which supports the artist community in Austin. Ever since our chat, I've been trying to find a way to support that scene in my own neighborhood.

It's discouraging to see how little emphasis is being placed on music and the arts in school these days. But for so many of us, art is such a crucial part of our lives. Art can be our companion, our outlet, our therapist, our lifeline. So many of us might not even be here today if it wasn't for the outlet that art gave us.

Music has more meaning to me than I could ever hope to convey with this clumsy keyboard. So when I discovered Jason R Flood Memorial, I knew I'd found a cause worthy of my support. I'd encourage you all to go follow them on social media and read about their story. I'll put more links in the comments. Doug and his crew put a lot of work into giving local musicians great supportive venues to play at, it feels like the spiritual successor to The Sad Cafe for those of you who remember Linda and the work she did.

Anyways, the Jason R Flood Memorial is holding their annual battle of the bands this upcoming January 7th, and I'd encourage everyone local to Southern NH come out and see these bands play!

I missed the first day but Soundtoys is having a sale today (August 3rd), and 100 percent of the SALES are being donated to Vermont relief organizations. If you've been eyeballing any of their incredible tools, now's the day to shop!

Local guitar guru Dave Cohen (of Equilibrium Guitars), who was on the Dreamsonic tour as a guitar tech for Animals As Leaders, passed away last week in a freak accident at a show in Montana. Dave Sweet has set up a Gofundme for his wife Mariann at the link in the comments... My thoughts are with her during this impossibly difficult time.

Work took me to Detroit so I finally got to meet a friend of mine, Michael of Hypnotic Audio. We've been working together remotely for a few years now, he as a mixing engineer, and I as a mastering engineer, with bands like Runway 11, Planeswalker, Of Romulus, Rebel's Ghost and more. It was good to finally meet in person!
