I’ve been producing music and audio under the roof of Welterweight Sound for nearly a decade. The studio began as a self-designed “garden studio” in New Paltz in 2017, where I honed my craft and slowly assembled a collection of rare and vintage production gear. During that time, I built a growing list of credits working with artists from both New York City and the Hudson Valley.

As the work expanded, so did the vision. In October 2025, Welterweight Sound opened the doors to a new, purpose-built recording facility in Marlboro—designed to support deeper collaboration, longer stays, and a wider range of creative projects.

Whether I’m producing, engineering, mixing, or mastering, every project that passes through the studio carries a tailored sonic identity. That stems not only from a deep understanding of the tools at hand, but in close attention to each artist’s voice, intent, and creative instincts. I see the studio as a space for exploration, collaboration, and alchemy— it’s my job to create the conditions where great work can happen.

My work has been positively reviewed across the critical landscape, including Pitchfork, Stereogum, Paste, and CMG. I’ve worked across a range of genres, including experimental, Americana, and indie rock, and I specialize in imaginative, carefully engineered productions with emotional weight and clarity.

In recent years, the studio has also become a destination for narrative and voice-driven projects. I serve as chief engineer for the Don’t Listen To Us podcast with Mandy Patinkin & Kathryn Grody, and regularly host authors from around the world who come to Marlboro to record high-quality audiobooks for Ayin Press, Penguin Random House, and other publishers.

Studio Pup

Marcy has been an ardent and dedicated studio dog since 2015, when she first lay down under a studio desk. She specializes in a “soft touch” approach - always available for pets, but mostly interested in going outside, especially when it gets too loud. Other skills include letting us know when it is 3:30pm, when she will begin to beg for dinner. A good reminder that we too need to eventually eat.
