After building my recording studio in Jackson, Wyoming in 2000, I had the opportunity to record a wide array of artists and genres. Here are some samples of what I think is my best audio work. Of course, it's easy when you are lucky enough to work with amazing musicians! (I also apologize if I've missed names for credits in this - you can let me know and I'll fix it!)

Comments: Nicole Madison singing the vocals on this. Wow. Not a great acoustic

a live club recording, which is essentially what it was.

Kyrie, from Schubert's “Mass in G”
Description: Presbyterian Church Chancel Choir, conducted, produced and engineered by Bill
Hungate. Recorded at the church, mixed in my office studio, March 21, 2010.
Comments: Another case of hitting record, and then running on stage to conduct this great
piece. We had 4 musicians from the Grand Teton Music Festival accompanying us – they
were fantastic. I love Schubert.
O Weisheit, from Arvo Pärt's “Sieben Magnificat Antiphonen”
Description: Presbyterian Church Chancel Choir, conducted, produced and engineered by Bill
Hungate. Recorded at the church, mixed in my office studio, December 13, 2009.
Comments: And now for something completely different! Very dissonant piece, recorded to
sound like we were in a large cathedral. With the house sound, I put two speakers in the
back with a slight delay and only the reverb wash coming back, completely blacked out the
house except for candles on the stage. The congregation really enjoyed and responded to
the effect. So, if it sounds like “too much” on the recording, “You had to be there!”
