Send the demo
A voice memo, phone recording, rough mix—whatever you’ve got. The idea matters more than the fidelity.
Boutique music production
It started as a voice memo.
You bring the song—even if it’s a phone recording or rough demo. Freaksonics turns it into a fully produced, release-ready record.

04 / About
Inside the
control room.
James is a producer, sound designer, audio engineer, and multi-instrumentalist. He plays much of each production himself—trumpet included—and calls in world-class session-player friends when a song needs another voice. A former NYC concert promoter and a production teacher, he’s spent years on both sides of the music: helping artists find the idea, then building the room around it.
Based in southern Maine, working remotely with songwriters everywhere.

05 / Testimonials
Kind words.
Fantastic...musicianship, creativity, and professionalism beyond my expectations. On top of it all, a pleasure to work with, even across the 5,000 miles that separate us physically. Looking forward to more projects that soar.
Absolutely phenomenal. James' attention to detail, craftsmanship, and dedication to quality is everything you'd hope for and more. It was a joy to work with him and I can't recommend him highly enough.
Holy s***, this track sounds SO much better. It's like it went from being two-dimensional to three-dimensional
...gave me TRIPLE what I asked for. Exceeded my expectations and delivered an amazing product. Thank you!
...James [has] a lot of energy...and can actually play too. There is not a trace of disillusionment there.
Best collaborator in years.
Gotta tell ya as I listen to it more…you've done something epic with this. Something unusually beautiful. The song and arrangement just takes my musical heart on a slow winding ear pleasing journey down some euphoric meandering country road in my mind…over the hills down the canyons…outstanding job, thanks!
A Consummate Musician! James is great! He's a multi-instrumentalist who's worked with some big producers and artists across genres, so was well suited instruct me on how I could get started on my music production journey, and how to deepen my intuition so that I can find a stronger voice in my writing. Can talk to him about almost any genre or music topic and he'll have good perspective (he's also taught at college settings so knows how to communicate his ideas well)!
What you did to this song completely blows my mind, no pun
