  • Instrumental rock/fusion influenced by the likes of Allan Holdsworth, Vangelis, and Joe Satriani. I tackled all of the composition, guitars, and synthesizers on this track. Matt MacLennan, who also works at the Halifax store, is on fretless bass, and Andrew Wiseman is on drums and mixes. For gear I used my 2017 Gibson SG Standard into an Xotic BB Preamp into a Traynor Ironhorse head, through a reactive load box, into Two Notes impulse responses. I then ran a Great River ME-1NV on an insert to complete the tone. Clean guitars are an Eric Johnson Strat through a Digitech Whammy V on the 5th up harmony setting into an old Yamaha Magicstomp stereo with volume swells. Synthesizers are all Arturia and Native Instruments. To complete to track, I got a great master done by none other than John Cuniberti – known for producing Surfing with the Alien, Flying in a Blue Dream, and and many other Joe Satriani albums. This is part of a full album, also called Voyages, that is coming out on April 11, 2023.

  • I’m a guitarist and home recording enthusiast. Here’s a new tune from a roots reggae band that I’ve been playing with for about 15 years. Andru Branch & Halfway Tree. The group just completed a new album which you can check out online if you like. The tracks were recorded in Pro Tools using UAD Plugins. A fave piece of gear on the recording was the AEA N22 ribbon mic. Song Video

  • I am a drummer and composer and I work in Accounts at the Halifax store. Previously, I taught drums at the Oshawa, ON location. I recorded this track with a Steinberg UR 44 and Apex mics. I recorded my Practice kit with a Zoom H4 and cut out a sample of a decent groove to use. I played my Yamaha Bass, Squire Strat, and Novation X Station Synth directly in with some of the standard Reaper plugins. I also played a Value Village Guiro, Gon Bops and Mountain Rhythm Congas, and some Dollar store Squeaking Pig toys. My new project is called “Nomad Homestead” and all my social media can be found through the website link. Thanks for Listening!
