Here's The Music Stuff
As an intern at WXJM Radio, I've worked alongside the booking agent to coordinate live-on-air performances. I've settled into the role of the station's 'sound guy', mixing the performances for the live radio broadcasts. I've also worked with the station's video team to mix and master the recorded performances for WXJM's YouTube channel.
On October 30, 2023, Harrisonburg-based psychedelic rock band Paracosm delivered a memorable performance in WXJM's live studio. Although the video footage of the show was lost, I wanted to share a snippet* of the audio recording I put together, since it's one of my favorite live moments.

Thanks to WXJM, I've been immersed in Harrisonburg's rich music scene, producing and mixing records and demos for local bands and artists. Below are before & after snippets* of some of the projects I've produced, mixed, and mastered.
