Andy Patterson
By JP [Posted September 29, 2009]
After drumming around the world with the likes of Shelter and Inside Out, Andy Patterson started recording and using some of the same mantras he learned while on the road back in the studio. His near-constant work and resume that reads hundreds of projects long has led to Patterson garnering respect not only in Utah, but all over the world. … read more
Matty Coles
By Weston Colton [Posted September 29, 2009]
Coles doesn’t say a lot—he lets his skating do the talking. He is incredibly humble, yet completely confident in his abilities on a board. I’ve never heard a single complaint or even a curse word come out of his mouth when a spot was hard to skate, or the trick just wasn’t coming, or when I asked him to do a trick that he had never even done before. … read more
Localized
By Bryer Wharton [Posted September 29, 2009]
October’s Localized features two bands that take on characters and personas on a regular basis. Irony Man channel the sound and members of early 70s-era Black Sabbath. Poo Pee D and the Family Jewels take the approach of being larger than life, performing as ingloriously odd characters. Kiss Thiss opens Oct. 16 @ The Urban Lounge. … read more
Jay Henderson
By James Bennett [Posted September 29, 2009]
Jay Henderson knows what it means to pay for studio time. An accomplished musician and member of local roots-rock heroes Band of Annuals, Henderson has spent his share of time both inside and outside the recording booth. “I’ve always been a huge fan of music—writing, recording, producing, the works,” he says. … read more
Scott Selfridge
By Ryan Fedor [Posted September 29, 2009]
I had the opportunity of getting to know Scott Selfridge over a period of two years as he patiently recorded and re-recorded my band’s last album, so it was with great pleasure that I got to pick his brain one night in his bedroom studio for this piece. Instead of attempting to condense our one-hour conversation into a narrative, I’ll just let him speak for himself. … read more
Matt Mateus
By Peekaboo Chadwick [Posted September 29, 2009]
“I think I really started getting interested after I met Herc Ottenheimer. He taught me pretty much everything I know. I was so jealous of his lifestyle–getting to record bands for a living seemed like the best job in the world.” … read more
Salt Lake Recording Service
By Ricky Vigil [Posted September 29, 2009]
From the moment you step inside Salt Lake Recording Service, you know exactly what Brad McCarley and Nathan Tomlinson are going for. The century–old warehouse has a heavy air that only comes with age, and the worn wooden floors root you firmly in the past, but the modern flourishes like the art hanging from the walls, the low hum of electronic equipment and a sleek overall aesthetic fuse the past and the present into something that isn’t quite either. … read more
Hyrum Summerhays

SLUG: What is Audio Space setup like?
Summerhays: You know the scene on Back to the Future with the giant guitar amp? It’s kind of like that. … read more
Herc
By Jesse Hawlish [Posted September 29, 2009]
For a moment, walking into Herc’s home is like walking into anyone’s home, until you empty out into Herc’s Living Room, and the scene changes from cozy to state-of-the-art. Although Herc’s high-end set up spans four rooms of his abode, the comfy furniture, carpeted spaces and secluded backyard garden keep the house that doubles as a recording studio feeling like a home. … read more
Mike Sasich
By Gavin Hoffman [Posted September 29, 2009]
“I was always interested in how the bands I listened to could do separate guitar parts and such.” Initial experiments aside, when Sasich moved back to Salt Lake from California roughly eight years ago, he began doing live sound, which somewhat naturally flowed into studio recordings, initially conducted in his house. … read more
