Hello! Welcome to my site. This is the place for all things Derick. Here you will find updates on my life and times, resume items, portfolio and listening sections, and links to all the wonderful people I know and work with. Please come in, look around, maybe sit and stay awhile. As you can see I'm building, and it will continue to be a work in progress, so please check back. You may discover I have interesting things to offer.
A little about me. My name of course is Derick Disterhoft. I was born in Geneseo, Illinois, but have lived in Colorado long enough to consider myself a native. I did middle school, high school, and college all while living in Boulder. I currently reside in Thornton, though that will be changing soon as my lease is up.
I attended university for audio engineering and that is my primary field of expertise. I have worked in the Denver metro area and performed many of the functions I can think of in the music business. I am foremost a recording and live sound engineer. I have also been heavily into DJing and electronic music production and marketing. I worked with studio recording, live sound, mixing, mastering, composing, promotions, performance, piano musicianship (though I'm not well practiced lately!), sales, marketing, talent scouting, staging, a little lighting, web design, and graphic design. Whew! What a list!
Look through this site and you will see who I currently work for, and you may get a picture of my current projects. Any way I can help you, or you can help me, would be greatly appreciated. I offer my services, detailed on the services section. The short of it is that I'm an audio freelance, a gun for hire in the Colorado Front Range area.
Let me know how we can help each other!
