Album Cover Design for M13

I've been lucky to be a member of Aaron McEvers M13 ensemble for some time now. It was a pleasure to master the upcoming release One Human, Too Human. As well as performing in the group and mastering the record, Aaron asked with help designing the album artwork. He already had chosen an artist to depict the cover art, so I ran with the image and choose a complimenting color scheme to design a very different looking big band album.

I was asked to master a second tune for the band Gatsby by good friend and engineer Colin Lorne. Haunting melodies, driving bass lines and nice use of delays on the vocals make for a very nice track. Can't wait to hear more from this group. Check out their Facebook page.
