One year ago, I released my second record Calliope 💿🎹🐦❤️‍🔥

After having existed only as ideas and demos, then across different versions and in different DAWs, with purposes and distinctions that only really had landing in my own imagination, Calliope was somehow crystallized. I am forever grateful to every person who put time and work and energy into helping me complete this body of work.

The way the songs still resonate in me today feel like how an echo sounds off a canyon wall. I recognize my own voice, and though she feels faint and far away, I can hear what she's saying perfectly.

Here's a video from a live recording of Wormwood with big thanks to @therecordingcenter for making this beautiful video happen

Just TWO MORE DAYS until we drop the new @milkmademt music video for their song “Kissin and Cussin!”

If you weren’t already excited, here’s some fun BTS content from the making of this adorable puppet show video! It’s been a weird challenge but a fun one that taught us lots. We’re very proud of the final product and excited for you all to see!

@renesanchez.jpg put in hours of puppet and prop crafting, @mckennamundendesign put in hours of graphic design and animating, and @mr.chrisshields put in hours of planning, shooting, and editing. Also, a big shoutout to @bubs4192 for helping puppeteer!

September 4th. Mark your calendars.

We’re one of Montana’s oldest studios, of course I’m going to film on tape during live video sessions (and digital angles too haha)! Lots of great vintage mics and gear involved in this session.

Follow-up of first looks/listens to the Matt Axton sound. Transfer and audio mix start, behind the scenes. Too good not to share! 📻 🎥 🎙️ 🎸 @mattaxtonmusic

Blast from the past! Went through Rick’s stack of business cards in the archives of the studio here. Still finding cool things 2yrs after taking the studio over!

Wonder who else is still around? There’s the obvious ones @rockinrudys @rockinrudysrecordheaven, etc.

Some great cards of the Missoula music scene and far beyond in here. Even found one from my own Great Uncle Larry! And a clipping “for customers that haven’t heard of my mic”. “A potentially famous photographer”, “The best f-ing drummer since the dawn of mankind - God”, etc.

Congratulations to our two winners of Reel Weird, our first ever Missoula music video competition! Skadget and Katels deservingly split the vote and each received 4 hours of recording time at Treasure State Studios! We are incredibly thankful to have such a grand prize donated for these artists who put a lot of work into their videos. Both submissions are available on YouTube. Check them out!

Katels "Calliope"

Skadget "MAGAt Fest"

Thanks to everybody who submitted and came out on a wildly sunny day to sit in the dark and listen to some local music. Special thanks to Andy Smetanka for putting together some incredible old videos and sitting through a Q&A with us. Thank you to the staff at the Roxy for helping us set up early. Big thanks to Scott at The Recording Center for coming out for our awards ceremony and to Jules Jensen for playing a great set. We had a very low turnout, because the sunny weather that made the block party amazing conspired to keep everyone outside on a Sunday afternoon, so thanks to everybody who was a good sport about it. We love and appreciate you! We've thought about making this a yearly event. Comment below if you think it's a good idea 😘
