I make records.

I started recording at a young age. As a songwriter and musician it seemed the obvious path to constructing more complex ideas. On an old Sony ¼ track reel to reel and a mono cassette deck I quickly found there was more you could do than simply capture performances. As the music got more serious so too did my pursuit of recording. When my focus shifted to the experimental styles of the early 80's, I realized that the act of making music and the act of recording were actually the same thing... a creative doorway to new musical landscapes.

In 1988 I opened The Dutchman Recording Studio to the public. It was in an artsy warehouse recording/rehearsal facility where I lived and made records until 2009. A year later I started The Bani-Love Recording Studio in the Columbia City Theater where I was able to expand my vision of recording in larger spaces through the historic and spacious 2100 sq-ft live room.

Since 2016 I've shifted to a mobile production style, tracking and mixing wherever I can get the vibe happening. Each project has its own life and set of unique tones. My passion is in bringing this out...to guide each record into something that's undeniable.
