Building things worth keeping.

Apps, music, and partnerships built in the Bay Area with respect for the road. Five apps in flight on the Build-a-Concert platform, ongoing collaborations with Pete Schieck, and a growing portfolio of work that won't be confused with anyone else's.

§01 · Apps

Five apps. One platform.

All five live inside the Build-a-Concert platform - independent ownership, shared spine. Some are shipping, some are still in the woodshed. None are vaporware.

Other things in the woodshed.

Voice-pack series, smaller utilities, side cuts. Some get loud; some stay quiet. Ask if you want a look.

§02 · Projects

Other work.

A few collaborations and credits worth naming. Text-only by design - names live in the work, not in logos.

Metamorpho Archive
- the one we still talk about. Music video, produced with Pete Schieck.
Bay Area session work
Long-running production circles. References on request.
Long Beach sessions
Studio time with a couple of the West Coast's heaviest. Names belong to them.

Score and cue work for a comic's screen project. Off the marquee, on the cut.
Megadeth Zombie Game - ongoing
Licensing conversation in motion. The story is the game; the game is the story.

All names referenced on this page belong to their owners; mention here is acknowledgement of collaboration, not endorsement.

§03 · Music

Music.

Kept low-key on purpose. No players, no logos - the apps are the front page. The music's in the work.

Original work, ongoing
- singles + production credits across the Bay Area and beyond.
Song / Song 2 / Tour Notes 2023
- archive working files; collaboration history with Pete on file.
Voice-pack source material

Score + cue work

If you're looking for a track or want to talk a collaboration, the contact section is at the bottom.

§04 · Build-a-Concert

Built with Pete on Build-a-Concert.

What the partnership is.

Pete Schieck and I have been collaborating on the Build-a-Concert platform since long before either of us called it that. Five of my apps ship inside the platform. The platform also ships inside the world Pete built. The partnership is a partnership - independent ownership of my apps, independent ownership of his platform, revenue share on the things that compose.

Why this works.

Pete builds the engine. I build the apps the engine makes possible. Neither of us is trying to be the other. The respect runs both ways. The platform stays his. The apps stay mine. The work ships because both of those things are true.

Build the thing. Keep the thing. Ship the thing.

Apps and projects on this page ride on the Build-a-Concert platform - ShowServe routing · Showtime composition · Showbox deployment.

§05 · Contact

Get in touch.

Music collaborations, app partnerships, voice-pack ideas for Pinche Waze, distribution conversations - all welcome. I read every message that's not a scam.
