it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.”

“I’ve recorded in this studio as a studio musician and an artist recording his own music, and I’ve really enjoyed my time working with Jesse Rundle. He has a plethora of knowledge in musicianship, and technical skill, that will have you pointed in whatever direction you want to go with your music. Highly recommend for anybody looking to create well thought out or just figuring it out music.”

“Recording my first ever song with Jesse exceeded every expectation I could've imagined. His studio is an extremely welcoming and cozy space. With Jesse, ideas flow naturally and curiosity is always explored. He gave me the creative space to really hone a vision for my song, and helped me fine-tune every single detail (thanks Jesse for your infinite patience with me haha). He inspires me, as he himself is an artist, and I can't wait to work with him again!”

We offer flat-rate recording packages to allow for the kind of creative experience your songs deserve.
More time in the recording studio at a more relaxed pace
Having a flat rate for projects not only gives you time to chase a new idea when it comes, it gives us time to sweat the details and make sure we’re capturing your sound in a way that serves your songs, even if it takes a little bit longer.
Production assistance to help achieve your vision, not just access to microphones and a quiet room
Recording isn’t a passive process. Every microphone choice and placement affects the sound of your record and influences subsequent decisions. Because of that, it’s incredibly important to have a recording engineer who understands the sound you’re going for and who can capture your intent.
Included mixing and mastering
Having your recording engineer mix your record is the best way to make sure your record ends up sounding the way you hear it in your head, and having your record mastered gets it ready for distribution to streaming services and physical copies. At Mixed Metaphor, engineering, mixing, and mastering are all included in the standard rate.
“After a few goes at trying to find a producer who matched the energy I was looking for, I was THRILLED to see that Jesse had availability. I appreciate that he makes room for the vision and sound you're looking for while also adding his touch that Mixed Metaphor is quickly becoming known for. I always look forward to studio time and I'm so proud of the album work we're doing.”
— Vibeka Amador
“I worked with Jesse this past year getting my first two songs recorded. I was really anxious and unsure about the process and he made me feel so at ease with it all. I had no clue what I wanted my songs to sound like, but he was patient and meticulous and we worked until we got something I was happy with. He also got some great studio videos for me to use. Ever since recording, he’s continued reaching out to give advice, and help with all things I needed, including album art, getting set up with Spotify, etc. He’s always happy to give feedback on new songs I write too. I highly recommend recording here whether you’re brand new to music, or been doing it for years! He’s guaranteed to offer a really unique approach to your songs and will hear things in them you never even imagined!”
