Obsidian Sound v2 is (re)open for business after some major upgrades!

New website is up! obsidiansound.net/ Thanks to the many clients and groups for their business this past year: Hainbach, Ivo Ivanov, anthéne, Gerald Fjord, San Francisco Boys Chorus, the estate of Allen Ginsberg, ArenaNet, and more! #mastering

Nathan will be both speaking on mixing electronic music (with a focus on #modularsynth) and performing live on October 5 in Seattle. Details at velocityseattle.com!

After many months of constant #podcast editing and album #mastering, Obsidian Sound will be closed Oct 1-10. Emails returned but no production work happening. Cheers!

I’m hopping between #mastering a Radigue-style harmonic drone project and a full-on techno compilation. I love them both, but my body isn’t sure quite what to feel anymore...

Sometimes just the tiniest kiss is all it takes. (No audio because it’s client work) #mastering #compression #musicproduction

It was an honor to have mastered Mousy Magazine’s epic and elegiac album “Life of a Leaf,” an ode to a lost loved one. Made with #guitar and #Eurorack. Check it out at mousymagazine.bandcamp.com/

Working on the first #mastering project all year that just needed a single EQ and a limiter in the signal chain. That’s it. It feels so good to need to do so little to a song!

I didn’t know that lending my ear to friends would turn into a whole new business. Thanks to everyone for the first year of Obsidian Sound but especially my clients and the trust they’ve placed in me. Let’s all make each other work’s better. #mastering #mixing
