About Us

In the beginning...

There were two blokes who fancied themselves as musicians. They didn't know each other, but they both had been playing their axes for awhile and were obsessed with recording themselves and their friends, and their friends' friends.. As time passed, they gathered more gear and gadgets and tried to figure out how to use them. In order to regain a taste of structured learning they enrolled in some audio classes at a local college. It was there that they met and realized that each others gear was compatible (sort of like the Brady Bunch) and a friendship was struck.

No, this is how it really happened...

"Tom and I did some projects together at Shoreline Community College. I was getting some work at my place and asked him if he wanted to help out. I've always been thinking about doing this with other people rather than alone. I think its another example of the sum being greater than all of the parts. Tom and I work together well as a team, we share a similar vision about where we want to take it. Our musical tastes are diverse enough to give us a broad range of musical sensibilities, though there's enough common ground to keep us on the same page most of the time." Chris Spencer

Collectively, Tom and Chris have about 30 years of recording experience. They have recorded rock projects, big band jazz, classical chamber music, country, blues,R&B, techno, dance and pop projects. In addition to recording bands, they have fallen into several sound for video , documentary, and web audio projects.
