Credits, QUOTES & Press
Selected projects, mentions, and kind words — not a complete archive, but a look at work that made a difference.
I’ve worked on podcasts, records, archival releases, restorations, and unusual audio projects in a lot of different forms. Rather than list everything, this page collects a few moments where the work was noticed, trusted, or helped a project become more fully itself.

Mastering and spatial audio problem-solving for a large-scale installation built around handmade vinyl compositions and rotating speaker stacks.
Saviours - 3 × 7-inch Singles
“The demos we did with Scott Ecklein in Oakland… came out so good that we thought [we] should do something with them.”
— Scott Batiste of Saviours, quoted by Blabbermouth
What started as quick demos became a limited vinyl 7-inch series — a reminder that the right ears can help a rough recording become more than the original plan.
