Los Angeles based composer and producer Cameron Brooks has the art of crafting vivid soundscapes down to a science. Inspired listeners could spend a fair share of their week trying to crack his formula. You could start by rifling through his classic collection of retrograde instruments and analog recording equipment at his studio in downtown L.A., but listening to Brooks tells me that there's a little more to his productions than setting up a mic and a mixer and hitting record. Brooks has made a name for himself recording with vintage gear while using modern production techniques to form a distinct sounding mix. He has a masterful ability to hijack any genre from any era, and steer it into his own musical direction in a way that just works. He'll mash low-fi garage drumming with moody synths and make you feel relaxed about it. He'll smoothly transition grungey electric guitar into a casual waltz, and make the mosh-ready punk up front gladly grab a dance partner instead.
