Sound really swell on drums. And everything else.
Rhythm Mantis
Drums. Records. Writes.
SOUP Theme
I composed & recorded a short theme song for Charlottesville SOUP (website link). SOUP is a great place to learn about and support artists with creative projects in the Charlottesville area. SOUP generates crowd-sourced funding on the local level as people come together over an affordable meal.
As for the music… fuzzy sounds, clean sounds. tiny sounds, big sounds.
Vevlo Eel
The Vevlo Eel record I recently mixed is out on Circuit Breaker Records. Check out the video for The End of Don’t and listen to the album here.
Mantis Soundcloud
Finally live on Soundcloud. I’ll be posting rough drafts, excerpts, and beats from studio experimentation here in the near future. If you are on Soundcloud, please contact me that way as well. Follow this link to go there now.

Just finished mixing and mastering the Vevlo Eel record. Heavy sound. I really enjoyed working with that music… up energy, punch you in the gut style. On another tone, Humberto Sales is coming out to the studio next week to track some solo classical guitar music. Humberto’s solo repertoire consists of works by numerous South American classical composers. I’m excited to record with him. Otherwise, I’m turning inward for a moment to work on some new Rhythm Mantis material. Experimenting with rhythm generated approaches to composition framed on some poems & short stories I’ve written over the past year. I’ll post updates and samples of this music as it develops. Stay tuned.
Studio news
A few studio projects recently completed: in early spring songwriter Dana Radcliffe will release his third album recorded, mixed, and mastered at Rhythm Mantis Sound. Anthony Childs, a great songwriter with a leaning toward open guitar tunings and powerful lyrics, brought in some archival recordings he had made on four track cassette that we mixed digitally in Ableton Live. Also mixing the next Vevlo Eel record. Shred rock. I will post links to the music as it is released.
