What I do
Technical direction is the job. The rest are roles I can step into when the show needs it: front of house, video lead, RF, Dante, comms, visuals, the DJ set. One person who understands the whole room.
Can do some lighting. Not an L1. I will tell you that before you ask.

It started on a bridge
A portable sound system on the Williamsburg Bridge in the summer of 2023. Then a bookstore, a tattoo shop, a theater, a warehouse, a museum, the Hall at Elsewhere and a train in Amsterdam. The idea never changed: build a room people don't want to leave, and run every piece of it ourselves.
ConceptThe theme, the name, the artwork, the story people tell the next day.
Productiond&b or Funktion-One audio, projection mapping, TouchDesigner visuals, multi-camera documentation of every night.
BookingDam Swindle, Sam Divine, LAMMER, UNIIQU3, Fred P, Daniel Bell, Young Marco, Bedouin. Contracts read line by line.
ContentEvery night filmed multi-camera. Recaps, collab posts and full sets.
The musicMoving Company parties are built around Moving Company residents. The night is a vibe first, not a headliner show, though guests and headliners join us often.

05 · Verdant Sound
The quiet job
Verdant Sound is a private recording studio and residence on a lake in the Catskills, New York. Six acres, five years in the making, built so invited artists can live and record in one place. I am the head engineer and technical director.
What I built. The studio's technical core: a 32-channel SSL console at the center, calibrated Genelec monitoring, and a Dante audio network that connects every room so a take in the live room, the lounge or the loft lands on the same console. I specified and installed the gear, rebuilt the headphone system so each artist gets a private mix, and wrote the studio handbook the house runs on.
What I do there. Run recording, mix and writing sessions for visiting artists. Keep the rooms calibrated and the network up. Handle upgrades, troubleshooting and whatever it takes to get the take.
