The debut LP by Brooklyn-based singer and songwriter Nicole Rodriguez. I produced this album with her over the course of 2019 and 2020 at Thump Studios and at home. Our band was:

Charlie Culbert - drums, percussion

Jack McGloughlin - guitar, pedal steel

Julian Smith - bass

Jack Sasner - guitar, lapsteel, sounds

Nicole played a variety of guitars, omnichord, and a cheerio box among other things.

I played some guitars, some bass, drums on two tracks (!), the keys and messed around with synths for a long time.

In 2021, we travelled to Spacebomb Studios in Richmond, VA where we recruited Trey Pollard to arrange and record live string and horn sections.

The album was mixed in 2022 at home.

Sarah Register mastered the album.

The album was released February 10th, 2023 on Spacebomb. Listen to it below:

A Time In the Light is the second LP and 4th overall release in my series of experimental and ambient explorations. A follow up to 2019’s Flee to Parts Unknown, this record expands on the lofi textures to include more defined synthesizer lines and intricate compositions.

I call this one my "Anti-Ambient" album because as someone with a cripplingly short attention span, I wanted to make something that uses the textures and atmospheres associated with the genre but package them in compositions that are always evolving and have a narrative arc.

The record is an exploration of how we try to understand our past in a way that reflects who we want to see ourselves as in the present. Memories and experiences fade into the background of our minds, leaving behind distorted reflections that we project our emotions onto. Fitting with this theme, each tracks tells its own story through wavering synthesizers, distorted pianos, and abstract ambient textures.

A Time In the Light is accompanied by a full length "ambient" music video as well, for those who need something to distract their eyes so their ears can listen.

“If I Could Change Your Mind” is a single from indie folk singer/songwriter Ghostcamp. Sydney’s songs are heartfelt and deeply personal. It’s always an honor to be involved in the recording process for them. We recorded guitar, vocals, and omnichord in one night at Thump Recording. I overdubbed some subtle synths at my home studio and mixed it the next day.

The Dawn Age is my 5th long-form project under the Rektagon pseudonym. Inspired by the early era of digital music making, when digital and analog instruments lived in harmony together; the calm before a storm of ones and zeros overtook the world and life as we know it.

In conjunction, I created a music video (my first foray into the format) for the 7th track ‘Crystaline’.

The record is available for streaming and download on all major services.

Quilting & Other Activities is the debut EP from Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Pearla (Nicole Rodriguez). Woven from sonic and lyrical fabrics diverse and disparate, the EP is a self-reflective exploration in song. In her own words:

“This collection of songs is about attachment, illusion, and acceptance. It is my attempt to take pieces from my past and use them kind of like patches of a quilt; weaving them together as an activity meant for distraction, but also for comfort and healing, and eventually, a transformation into something bigger than the sum of the parts.” - Pearla

All songs written and performed by Nicole Rodriquez

Produced and arranged with additional instrumentation by Tyler Postiglione

Mixed by Phil Joly

Mastered by Sarah Register

Quilting & Other Activities was on September 6th, 2019 via Egghunt Records.

On occasion, the wind is kind and tho I’ve never sailed, I’ve set my sails proper and run aground half way out the bay. Perhaps some sails and are never meant for wind, not hungry or interested in the kindest offerings of the open ocean. I fear the trap of that freedom, even as I embrace it peeing into the water I still doubt its depths, dangerous or otherwise. I sense this signals not the inherent danger of the sea to my side, but the accuracy to which my instruments inquire. 

an exploration into the realm of analog mediums and reductive composition 

produced during the spring of 2019 using Ableton Live and a Tascam Portastudio 414mkII, along with various cassettes, instruments, samples, and found sounds

A double single by Pearla. In her own words:

Forgive Yourself - “I’ve always been really hard on myself so I wrote this song to help practice a little more self-compassion. The song’s a personal mantra of sorts. Writing it made me feel a thousand times lighter.”

Pumpkin - “…the dizziness and anxiety caused by loss and changes, and accepting it, knowing that some things, like love, and the sun, and pumpkins in the fall, will always re-appear in some form.”
