waves associate founder. grammy. emmy. invented the plug-in GUI. producer-engineer-musican since 1977, from Joe South to Afrika Bambaataa. archived all of Bob Moog's analog tape archive. co-designed 19 plug-ins for Waves. Mixed Dolly's only live concert document. FOH for Seal, Donovan, Kate Pierson, and Ray Manzarek, but not at the same gig.

ask any of my client list why you should work with me. listen to my work. perform due diligence and find out with your ears. when 10 years old, i began taking tape recorders apart and re-assembling them. dad was nervous. at 12, played my first Moog IIIp (1970). by the time i was 14 i owned an EML 101 synth. at 15, wrote first orchestral piece and won statewide contest; it was performed 3 times. all along i was recording music at my dad's college with Ampex AG600-2 (alas, solid state) and two EV666. by 18 was in nashville with API board, 16track MM1000, all at belmont's new music biz program; with chuck ainley, bil vorndick, russ martin, doug howard, kerry kopp, and david cherry. recorded synths with cowboy jack clement, joe south, buryl red, cynthia clausen. mastered over 800 albums, CDs, plus vinyl for NY record pools. i love analog and digital; there's no Ford vs. Chevy bullsh*t here. i serve your project, not my agenda.

    I now truly understand the value of good mastering. Easily exceeded all expectations. Go with Seva and you'll discover just how good your music can sound.

    Seva at Sequoyah Sounds in Knoxville, TN, is a pleasure to work with. He listens well to the customers needs and his abundant experience allows him to make excellent suggestions and to work fast! The building housing Sequoyah Sounds was actually built as a recording studio which makes it a rare commodity in East Tennessee. The facility allows multiple musicians to record at the same time in isolated rooms with enough windows so that the musicians can take advantage of visual cues while also being sonically separated. My band found the experience a real pleasure and we intend to return!

    Worked with Seva in a project for 1-1/2 years. He is the one stop shop. A trained composer, engineer, mastering expert, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who will see your project from beginning to end and with excellent ears. And a swell smart guy.

  • The Jeff Cregger BandOct 06, 2023

    For several days in October 2023, Jeff and his band finished the project started weeks before. Six new songs by Jeff Cregger (guitar), along with Rodney Cash (drums), and Brad Deaton (bass) got vocal overdubs. Absolutely wonderful.

  • Veers pre-tour rehearsalSep 22, 2023

    Veers (Merrill Artists / ECR Music Group) made Sequoyah their first stop before their first show of 52 dates from August to December of 2023.  Here's a verified-true description: "VEERS are an electrifying explosion of pure rock and roll laced with symphonic dreamscapes giving rise to the feeling of floating through the cosmos."  Yeah, they do that. And keep doing it.

  • Completed pre-production with Count PariahSep 22, 2023

    David Ivory visited Sequoyah to work with Count Pariah (Blue Collar Records) on two upcoming singles. Two full days gave David time to tweak song structures and guitar tones.
