Update

A little note to share that I’m booking recording and production projects for 2026 at an inspiring destination studio in inland northwest. I’ve worked at this space many times over the last 10 years, producing both Cruz Contreras “El Cosmic” and Helen Killer “Grief and High Delight full length LP’s at Cider Mountain and have had intentions of finding more opportunities to share this space with artists and creators for years… that time has come!

I love the scenario of recording music in a destination setting. The projects become immersive with folx staying on site together, adventuring in nature in the off-time, breaking bread together, and finding a fresh perspective to bring back into the studio space.

Spokane International Airport is just an hour from the studio, making travel to and from very easy. Tucked between Montana and Washington, about 100 miles south of British Columbia, this recording destination in Idaho’s panhandle is like no other.

Cider Mountain Recording Studios has all of the accommodations that you need to bring your full team along for the project. With space for video crew, band and collaborators to stay on site in private cabins and rooms, this studio property is ideal for writer’s retreats, recording records, and making live in the studio content.

Take a look through their site to see if this might be the place for your next recording project… I’m available as a producer, session musician, or just a production liaison. Look forward to working with you when the time is right! -MM

[I respectfully acknowledge that we gather on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the Schitsu'umsh (Coeur d'Alene Tribe) when we make music and spend time here at Cider Mountain. It is my intention to honor the Schitsu'umsh people—'Those Who are Found Here'—as the traditional stewards of this land, including the surrounding waters and forests. I recognize their enduring relationship with this territory and pay respects to their elders past and present.]
