Hi! My name is Bryan Appel and StoveTopStuff! is the name of my small project studio in Portland, Oregon. I specialize in digital mixing and editing on the Digidesign Pro Tools platform. Portland is overflowing with awesome independent music, and my rates and services are geared with the independent musician in mind. I will work one-on-one with you to make your musical vision of the mix a reality. Whether you need just four songs mixed for a demo, or fourteen songs for your latest CD, StoveTopStuff! is the place to make your project sound like a record!
I am the guitarist, composer, and bandleader for the Portland jazz/funk band Seven Year Tango, and although I have had formal training and work experience as a electronics technician, as well as a life-long interest in computers and technology, I consider myself an artist first and an engineer second. What this means is that I consider my ears and the stuff in between them to be my most valuable pieces of equipment. So you can be sure that the mix that I create for you will be of the highest artistic and technical quality.
