See my work!
Starting today, every day you will be able to see my work. Up until — ten days ago — I had never taken the time to organize the thousands of deliverables I have produced over the years, and it has been really exciting to re-discover so many incredible moments that have been captured, and I…
Thank you!
Just a week ago Sunday we had our last concert taping of the ’23-’24 season, and I feel such gratitude to work with such amazing clients and artists. I can’t express my thanks to my special clients this year! I profoundly enjoy capturing the sound, the space, the light, the emotion and the magic of…
Winter Solstice/Fall 2022 Wrap Up
After the slow, slow, slow summer, things got ridiculously busy. So busy, I couldn’t even get two newsletters out. Suddenly I found myself freelancing A/V and production sound jobs, creating content for clients, taping concerts, and live-streaming. I did write-ups on many of these activities, so when you see a link, go ahead and click…
A Very Special Beethoven – October 2022

My folks had always attended St Martin’s when they visited in the past, which is also well known among musicians due to its reverberant acoustics. During Mom’s search, I have…
Musical Discovery – behind the scenes
On Labor Day 2022, the Tonehaus team headed out to Addison Grove to create about 20 music videos for Musical Discovery. The entire shoot went without a hitch, and was pretty chill and fun, quite an achievement for something with so many moving parts. This kind of thing could easily have been a stressful nightmare,…
Liminal Sound Series – Behind the Scenes
In May 2022, pedal steel guitarist and experimental music creator Bob Hoffnar hired us to capture a 3 concert series. Here are some stills from those videos. See the final product below, about 10 minutes.
September 2022 Tonehaus News
More than halfway through September, and our performing arts culture is back in full force! The new season is head spinning and packed! I’ve been compiling a list of performances and wanting to format it into a resource that can be checked daily, including timely interviews and featurettes. I’ve long felt Austin has a depth…
