Location Recording Reel

Cody ChesnuTT emerged on the national musical landscape in 2002 with his appropriately-titled The Headphone Masterpiece. Truly a special record from a unique, soulful voice, it left so many wanting more -- and even moreso when the Roots covered/collaborated with ChesnuTT on their version of the single, "The Seed."

Genevieve performs her song "Colors" live in The Barbarian Group's Waterless Hot Tub. Recorded and mixed by Hansdale Hsu.

SXSW 2016

I recorded and mixed these BTR House Sessions: CocoRosie, Pearl Charles, Mise En Scene, Lucy Dacus, Guts Club, Dreamers.

CocoRosie is the eccentric and fascinating musical project of sisters Bianca and Sierra Casady. The duo first gained notoriety in the 00's scene of Brooklyn musicians and artists experimenting with pop, rock, and other genres, and has since continued to evolve their sonic perversions.

Pearl Charles is a young songwriter from Los Angeles. At just 23 years old, she already has about five years of touring experience under her belt from her time with The Driftwood Singers and The Blank Tapes (which is where we met her, when they visited BTR Live Studio a while back).

Lucy Dacus is a young musician based out of Richmond, Virginia, who came out of nowhere and immediately caught our attention. In a similar vein as other recent favorites Courtney Barnett and Julien Baker, Dacus has a clear and honest style of storytelling and perspective through song that we just can't get enough of.

Dreamers is telling it like it is, singing about what they know. This Brooklyn-originating trio bashes around with punk ethos in a power pop cosmic state, making super accessible music that still has a coat of grit. The guys stopped by for an intimate, stripped-down session on the porch of the BTRhouse in Austin, Texas, during SXSW 2016.

SXSW 2015

I went down to Austin, TX with BreakThruRadio for SXSW 2015. I recorded and mixed sessions for Son Little, Summer Heart, Kabaka Pyramid, The Last Bison, Fred Thomas, Orenda Fink, Zydeco Radio, and Remi.
