Jason Carter // Engineer, Producer

Jason Carter spent his childhood years honing his skill as a drummer touring with rock bands and jazz groups alike. He acquired a well deserved reputation in the jazz world playing with such notables as Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck), Tom Grant, Doc Severinsen, Eric Marienthal, Patrick Lamb and many others. After a long successful run of touring and playing jazz, Jason joined up with the Norwegian rooted band Guards of Metropolis and signed a production contract with actor Kiefer Sutherland and his company Ironworks Music. The Guards played shows throughout the U.S. and Europe garnering critical acclaim from journalists and fans alike. In addition to the Guards, Jason was recording and performing with Gospel legend Larry Norman from 2001 up to Norman's passing in 2008.

In 2007, Jason joined Black Francis (of Pixies fame) as his drummer for several tours throughout the U.S., Europe and Australia. They recorded three studio albums, two live albums and several b-sides. In the years following, Jason joined Silver Sorensen, Francis and his wife Violet Clark as a member of Grand Duchy and went on to record two studio albums and tour the U.S.

Engineering and producing...
Jason's passion for capturing music is just as important as playing it. He started cutting his teeth by cutting analog tape during his teen years working in various recording studios throughout the Pacific Northwest. In the early 90s, Jason worked at Musicraft, a world-class studio on the west coast that hosted regular clients like Gus Van Sant and the NBA. Digital recording technology was in its infant stage and Jason was on the ground level learning and using technology like Protools before it was called Protools. In 1996, Jason started Wavelength with his longtime friend Jeff Jewkes and has continued to expand the business to what it is today. Jason has recorded, mixed and mastered hundreds of albums under the Wavelength name for artists and bands from all corners of the globe. His engineering and producing skills have been sought after by many artists, most notably Black Francis, the Will Evans Project, John Fahey, Pete Yorn, Julie Hoy, Grand Duchy, Josh Schroeder, Dangermouse, Jeff Jewkes, Miranda Vettrus, Enkay47, Lisa Landucci, Vandor, and many others.

In addition to music, Jason enjoys cooking, traveling, flying small airplanes, and is involved with the Village School Foundation, a non-profit that builds schools for kids in Vietnam. ​
