I'm fortunate to spend my days producing, engineering and mixing music. I have my own studio called 'the Brewery Recording Co.' and also work in other studios from time to time.
I have been in the band trespassers william for over ten years playing guitar, bass, keyboards and most recently - lap steel. I also make ambient post/rock music under the name 'disinterested'. I often play on the records I produce and sometimes get the pleasure of joining my friends on stage, including: Brian Ledford, Coulter and the band Altspeak.

Hey Matt - Good to connect. Best of luck with the new name. (Did you consider The Emerson Brewery?) You sure brewed up some good suds on the Democracy For Lovers record.
