Session Guitarist & Oboeist ~ Madison, WI

Studio-Quality Session Work for Guitar & Oboe

A SESSION ARTIST WHO CAN DELIVER

When your project needs a musician who can deliver, not just perform, the difference is in the training. With a Master’s in Music Composition, international touring credits, and decades of recording experience, I bring academic precision and real-world versatility to every session. I’m not a one-trick player — I bring multi-instrumental range, deep music theory knowledge, and the ability to contribute to a project at the arrangement level if needed.

What I Can Offer Your Project

  • Formally trained with a Master's in Music Composition
  • Decades of Professional Recording Experience
  • Composition and arrangement expertise ~ I can contribute beyond a single tracked part
  • Versatile across genres: classical, rock, metal, jazz, blues, neoclassical, video game music, and more
  • Touring and recording credits with Lords of the Trident and Luna Mortis (Century Media Records)
  • Neoclassical technique for complex, technically demanding passages

Serious About the Work. Easy to Work With.

Every session has its own set of variables: the style, the tempo, the direction you want to take it, and what the track actually needs. I’ve been navigating those variables in recording environments for decades. Send me the details of your project and I’ll come back with a straightforward quote and a clear plan.

Let's Talk Details

Studio

I have the equipment necessary to handle the projects I take on. For sessions that call for a formal studio environment, I can record with you in your studio. For remote work that requires a professional studio, I have working relationships with several professional studios in the Madison area and can record on-site when the project requires it.

Gear

I have all of the proper gear for recording guitar, oboe, piano, and ukulele in my home studio. If your project has specific gear requirements, I can source what’s needed. That flexibility is part of working with someone who has been in professional recording environments long enough to know what’s out there and how to get it.

How It Works

Consultation

We start with a conversation about your project — the style, the feel, any reference tracks, and what you need from me specifically. The more context you can provide upfront, the better the result.

Quote & Agreement

Once I understand the scope, I'll provide a quote. [RATE STRUCTURE — day rates, per song, album packages to be added.] A deposit is required before work begins.

Recording

I'll record your parts with the care and attention I'd give my own work. Where helpful, I'll provide multiple takes or options so you have flexibility in the edit.

Delivery

Files are delivered in your preferred format, ready for your mix. Turnaround time is discussed and agreed upon at the time of booking — client projects always take priority.

SESSION RECORDING FAQ

Remote session work is available for most projects. I record my parts and deliver files directly to you, regardless of where you’re located. If you prefer an in-person session, I also have access to professional studio space in Madison.

Guitar is my primary instrument, but I also record oboe, piano, and ukulele. I also bring composition and arrangement expertise, so if your project needs more than a single tracked part, that’s something we can discuss.

My range covers classical, rock, metal, jazz, blues, neoclassical, and video game music, among others. If you have a specific style or reference tracks in mind, send them over, that’s the fastest way to determine whether I’m the right fit for your project.

“There’s no reason for a guitarist to have a big ego. You should love the instrument more than wanting to be a rock star””
