“Manuel’s experience as a drummer, literally leading from behind, informs his engineering and production a great deal. He’s supportive, offering suggestions as they are needed and also staying out of the way of the process. He serves the song at every step, attached only to realizing the vision of the composition (and not to any egoic b.s. or demonstration of his considerable skills). He began working on ‘Do The Math’ as an engineer. He is now a co-producer and mixer of my precious cargo. Intuition and experience influence his every move and challenges never annoy or discourage him. He makes it happen one way or the other. My songs and my voice sound better when I record at Beet Recording Studio with Manuel. Yours probably will too.”
