The new Argosy desk has been assembled and installed. It’s made working in the studio a much more enjoyable experience. However, the assembly was pretty intense. I doubt I’ll ever assemble another piece of furniture as elaborate as this console desk… but damn does it look awesome.

New Studio Desk
Ball State Recording with Apsara

David Letterman Studios @ Ball State University
One of the advantages that comes with attending Ball State University is the fact that I get to take advantage of the studio facilities of the David Letterman Building’s studios. This last semester I worked with a team composed of five individuals (myself included) to record a 5-song demo for a band of our choosing. The band we chose was “Apsara” with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with beforehand.
Each of the team members was responsible for one of the five tracks to be recorded. I was assigned a song titled “Boredom Breeds Chaos” which also happens to be the title of the Demo EP. I spent my sweet-ass time crafting my assigned song to the liking of Apsara in addition to the standards set by professor Stan Sollars.
The file below is my final 44.1 – 24 bit Pro Tools bounce in WAV format.

Studio Desk Upgrade
I spent the majority of today transporting and assembling my new Argosy 70-DM4800-R Console Desk which will be replacing the old wooden Ponderosa table that I’ve been using up until this point. The desk came in 13 separate boxes! Putting it all together was quite a task. To this day, this is the most elaborate piece of furniture that I’ve ever pieced together.
Although the old Ponderosa table has served me well over the years, I’m glad to see it go. Despite it’s sturdy and rugged nature, it just doesn’t look professional. That, and it was a tad on the small side. It’s going to be awesome to work on such a large console desk.
Woodlands – Black Friday Sessions
My friend Arrah and her band, Woodlands, were kind enough to come into my studio to perform an exclusive live set so that I could record it and share the tunes. The recording took place in the early morning hours of Black Friday, 2009. Good times, good tunes, and a gigantic bag of Doritos.

Woodlands Studio Video
I was going through my phone and realized that I took a video of the Woodlands session. Just thought I’d share it with everyone.
