<p>My name is Brian Deck and I am, among other things, a music producer. That can mean many things. For me, it means I’m a collaborator and co-conspirator who helps artists sharpen their vision and achieve it in a recording studio. I typically join the effort during the writing phase, helping through rehearsal and pre-production, continue through recording, and all the way to final mixes. I’ve been doing this for quite a while and have had the honor of working with some truly amazing musicians! That’s not hyperbole. In my discography, you’ll see records by Modest Mouse, Counting Crows, Iron and Wine, Ms. Ezra Furman, Nathaniel Rateliff, and others. With many of them I’ve made multiple records. I think that’s because I make it my mission to help the artist level up their craft and expand their perspective. I help make their music compelling and emotionally resonant. I help them achieve their best performances. I help them craft their sound to be unique, inventive, and powerfully evocative. And I love doing it!</p>

Wanna make an amazing record with me?

Unforgetting FLUBBER!

This is a song by song account of the writing and recording of Souled American's second full length LP, Flubber. Written by long time fan and rock and roll biographer Camden Joy. This is the first record I ever worked on from start to finish. I was a wee tot of 24 years. Souled was my favorite Chicago band and making this record at Chicago Trax was a privilege and quite literally a dream come true. I was not fast or reliable at engineering yet and this was real seat of the pants work. But the band had such confidence in their very unique approach that I was thrilled to search for the ways to help realize their vision. And finding the solutions to the musical puzzles helped me find my creative voice.
