Hello, my name is Joe Romersa.

I am a Digi-log.

What is a Digi-log? A Sound Engineer Musician and Photographer who has lived to see the changes from the Analog to the now Digital World.

Sound, Music and Voices have been my passion my entire life.  Started with a reel-to-reel tape machine, to now stretching time and pitch on my Mac computer.  I used to use razor blades, now there’s an app for that.

My Music and Sound career has also crossed over into Video Production. And yes, I started as a youth in a darkroom developing photos “old school” style and studied Super 8 film. Now using Final Cut Pro, Digital Cameras, Photoshop, Motion and After Effects.

I call my home studio Shadow Box Studio because my first home studio was in a small apartment where my cat “Shadow” had his “box” near my equipment. Shadow Box Studio Inc., is my production company. I am proficient in working in the following areas ...

Lover of Nature. Even worked with songwriter of "Nature Boy", eden ahbez.

Philosopher of Love and Life.

A proud father and grandfather.

Strive to live an honest life. Have no respect for empty words.

A sense of humor, something one needs in this business.

Ready for anything because anything can happen.

I’m a self admitted workaholic, always looking for work.

A teacher once told me, “Your eyes and ears are inputs, your mouth is output and you can’t listen and talk at the same time.” I have a great thirst for learning and have learned much in this life.

Jammed and recorded with Bob Dylan. Had dinner with Johnny Cash & June Carter during my recording days with Carlene Carter and John Prine. Working as drummer and sound engineer for Heartbreaker bassist Howie Epstein were days I will never forget.

Am proud to have been in the first and only Thai-Western band called “Soy Cowboy”. Along with producing and engineering, this was my first experience being a front man.

With the exception of Soy Cowboy, I’ve toured as a drummer with various rock, blues and funk bands. Engineered and Produced many bands and solo artists. And like many in the music business, advanced to Post Production work. That’s when I found Anime.

In 1993 connected with Les Claypool and Zro Limit Productions at Magnitude 8 Post to record ADR for Japanese Animation called “Anime”. It was here I found myself Directing and Voice Acting many Anime & Video Games. One of those video games was Silent Hill. I wrote lyrics and sang on a couple songs for Silent Hill.

I consider myself an Artist and Digi-log.
Be it a large project or small, I’m always open to new things and putting my all and best into everything I do.

Ears, Eyes and Voice for hire with a creative mind and loving spirit. That’s me in a place called Shadow Box Studio.
