Hey, I’m Dillon. I’m a progressive metal guitarist, songwriter and producer, and I’m here to help you get tight, emotional, mix ready guitar work for your songs.
I write and record for my own band Immateria, where the focus is heavy riffs, big atmosphere and clear low end in modern tunings.

I live inside Logic Pro with Neural DSP (Nolly X, SLO) and high quality cab IRs, so you get polished tones that sit in a dense mix, not just cool sounds in solo.

PRIMARY FOCUS
• Record rhythm guitars
Tight, locked in rhythm tracks for your song. Chugs, riffs, odd time grooves, syncopated low tuned stuff and everything in between. I can deliver both amp tones and clean DI tracks so you or your mix engineer can reamp later.

• Record lead guitars and melodies
Singable leads, harmonies, texture lines and tasteful shred. I lean toward musical phrasing over mindless speed, and I pay attention to how the lead supports the song and the vocal, not just the guitar.

• Add ambience and textures
Clean guitar beds, swells, delays and atmospheric parts to glue your arrangement together. Great for intros, transitions or building tension into a chorus or breakdown.

• Program drums and basic production for heavy music
If you need help getting your demo to “real song” territory, I can program modern metal drums, rough mix your stems and shape the overall vibe so it feels finished and impactful.

OTHER STYLES I CAN COVER
Even though my main lane is modern heavy music, I also play and record in more laid back and melodic styles. If your project is not metal but you like my playing, I can help with:

• Lofi and chill guitar parts for beats
• Smooth, clean tones for RnB and neo soul influenced tracks
• Bluesy leads and classic rock lines
• 80s style hair metal leads and rhythm parts
• Simple, tasteful parts that sit behind hip hop or pop production

For these sessions I focus on tone, feel and pocket so the guitar supports the groove and does not fight with the beat.

GENRES
Best fit: progressive metal, modern metalcore, djent, post metal, cinematic heavy, ambient heavy.

Also available: lofi, chillhop, pop rock, alternative rock, blues rock, softer atmospheric tracks.

MY TONE AND GEAR APPROACH
• 7 string guitar in modern tunings with tight, clear low end
• Neural DSP amps (Nolly X, SLO) and pro level cab IRs
• Logic Pro, professional plugins and careful editing
• Clean DI tracks included on request
I pay a lot of attention to clarity and punch, especially in the low end. If your last mix felt muddy or your riffs got lost once the drums and bass came in, you are exactly the kind of artist I like working with.

WHAT YOU GET
• High quality WAV files of all final guitar tracks
• DI tracks if you want them
• Up to 2 rounds of revisions included
• Clear communication and notes on what I did and why

If you need ideas, I am happy to write parts from scratch. If you already have riffs and melodies, I can refine and record them in a polished, consistent way.
