STUDIO PRODUCTION
POWER STATION / THUMB KNUCKLE / GOJO / IMOR AMOTH / COLLABORATIONS
POWER STATION
While working as the Assistant Director of Academic Technology at Power Station at Berklee NYC, I was responsible for the maintenance, repairs, and operations of the acclaimed Studio G, often described by those working there as the “best mix room in the building.” Featuring an SSL G4000+ analog console, a wealth a premium outboard gear, ATC and Westlake monitors, Nemesis cue system, and Pro Tools HD rig, this studio remains one of the most desirable studio spaces in the city.
Aside from being responsible maintenance, repairs, and operations of the studio, I was also able to produce music in there. Most notably, I mixed and mastered the debut THUMB KNUCKLE album in this room, utilizing a wealth of outboard gear, including Power Station’s celebrated Pultec EQP’s, the summing capacity of the SSL G4000+, and of course the famous G-Bus compressor of the console.
THUMB KNUCKLE
Thumb Knuckle is the creative project that I’ve taken the most ownership over throughout my career and am the most proud of. I compose, arrange, and produce all Thumb Knuckle music, based at our Ridgewood based music studio, The Stables.
“With a frenetic disposition best defined as experimental darkness meets obscene whimsy, Thumb Knuckle is the brainchild of Josh Eckert, Sam Rubin, and Will Hunersen. Hailing from the depths of New York City, the Brooklyn-based trio is the amalgamation of countless sonic influences from noise rock, to doom metal, to psychedelic improvisation and beyond.
Thumb Knuckle is as unclassifiable as it is unforgettable.”

GOJO
Aside from guitar music, I produce electronic music under the name GOJO, named after the long gone local video rental store in the town I grew up in. After first entering the world of digital music production in 2013 as a first year music undergraduate, I began spending more time on my electronic music productions in 2022 to further my skills as a sound designer and electronic music creator, producing downtempo electronic music emulating the likes of Four Tet, Bonobo, and Quantic.
Imor Amoth
Imor Amoth is an instrumental, guitar forward, post-rock project. It came to in 2017 with the Colour & Motion EP. I composed and produced the whole project myself at Newcastle University’s state-of-the-art music studio and played every instrument on the record except the drums, which were played by Gavin Christie of Callum Pitt and Lyras. This was the first production project of this level I undertook and remain incredibly proud of it.
Collaborations
Over many years, I’ve collaborated with many other musicians and producers to create music together. One of the more interesting and fruitful collaborations I worked on was with with Blade, The Dragon Mystic, a lo-fi hip hop producer. The two of us recorded a bunch of guitar improvisations and used them to make beats. We manipulated those recordings by reversing them and splicing parts together to create “Church Junkie,” which was released on their 2022 album.
