Hi, I’m Nathan, welcome to Lot 4! I collaborate with artists, musicians, filmmakers, and storytellers to shape their sound. Whether I’m mixing a song, restoring a damaged recording, crafting a custom score, or designing immersive audio, every project receives the same level of care and creativity tailored to your vision. From mixing and mastering to sound design, restoration and custom production, I'm here to help artists and creators shape and share audio that resonates. At Lot 4, I bring your sound to life!

I produce audio deliverables for a variety of content mediums functioning as a remote mixing and mastering engineer, polishing your recordings (in any condition) to make them shine and ready for distribution. The scope of my focuses encompass audio production as a whole, composition, restoration, live audio systems, sound design, audio and dialogue editing, soundtrack and SFX engineering, and much more. My goal is to help you sound like you and for your project to reflect your vision - let's make it happen together!

Formally, I’m a graduate of Illinois State University with a Bachelor’s of Science in audio and music production. Informally, I love making music and helping others achieve the sound they’re looking for. There’s an abundance of untapped artistic expression brimming atop the proverbial glass, waiting to be released upon the world - I’m here to help with that. To me, art represents a fine line between a gray and gloomy world and one of emotional conviction and social interconnectivity. Art is ephemeral in its creation, it must be finished and shared to the world if it’s ever to be seen or heard in the artist’s voice. If your favorite artist never wrote and performed that song exactly when they did, it would never exist. Ever. Could you imagine? In my experience, what you hear is as compelling and important as what you see. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what of a sound?

The Audio and Music Production (AMP) sequence at ISU taught me how to produce exceptional audio deliverables for a variety of content mediums. I functioned as a recording, mixing and mastering engineer and collaborated with other students in recording studios to produce professional-grade audio deliverables and music. The scope of my studies was focused on audio engineering, audio restoration, live audio systems, sound design, sound and dialogue editing, soundtrack and sound effects engineering, recording, mixing, and mastering engineering.

Since graduating I have recorded, mixed, mastered and released a demo and six-track EP for my band, Miley Cypress Hill, have begun work at WTVP PBS in Peoria, IL, working as a crew member, camera operator and audio engineer, and work for the Arts & Entertainment department of the city of Bloomington, IL in various audio, visual and lighting capacities for public events at venues like the Bloomington Center for Performing Arts and Grossinger Motor Arena.

My education and experience thereafter has provided me with the experience and confidence necessary to succeed in the development and execution of future career endeavors in audio and beyond. My goal is to help you sound like you and for your projects to reflect your vision!
