Produce your own record

Learn to compose, arrange and record a fully produced, professional-sounding album of your own music. Kevin has worked in recording studios for more than 30 years, from 24-track analog tape to modern digital audio workstations, including classic gear like Neumann U67 microphones and the Fairchild 670 compressor.

Sound design from a synth pioneer

Kevin’s synthesizer and programming skills earned him an endorsement deal with Moog. He went on to program commercial sample libraries with names like Gary Garritan, Kirk Hunter and Ilio, and worked as a programmer on Miroslav Vitous’s groundbreaking virtual orchestra. His own project, Analog Meltdown, blended the synthesis techniques of its day into a critically acclaimed sound library.

Composing for real-world use

In 1989 Kevin became music director and audio engineer for National Music Service. In 2002 he started his own library company, SpiritFlow Music, whose compositions have been used in thousands of video productions and broadcast programs.
