developer biography

Developer is the music of Corey Layman. Currently Developer is working on Project 52, an attempt to record and release a song every week for one year.

Developer’s catalogue is a collection of recordings from over the last 15 years. The music covers a number of genres, mostly aligned with indie rock of the last couple of decades, and ranges from lo-fi recordings on a tape deck with a guitar and various junk to higher-fi recordings with a full band.

In 2005 and 2006, Developer existed as a three-piece band that played local shows in Pittsburgh. The line-up with Karl Hendricks on bass and Jake Leger on drums (Karl Hendricks Trio) recorded the LP, Meet the Widget, which has not yet been released. A few of the tracks from Meet the Widget were released on the Season Tics EP in 2006 on Hope Records, which was a collection of older and newer Developer songs. Developer played a few more shows locally with bassist Mac Howison (Barrett Black) before retiring as a band.

Layman’s other music endeavors include playing bass in the Karl Hendricks Trio, and as a partner in Woolslayer & Main, a music production project of Layman and David Bernabo (Boxstep, Vale & Year, David Bernabo + Assembly, and Ninth Ward) that has produced TV and video game soundtracks.

Layman’s former projects include Hovland, a Pittsburgh band from the 90’s, and Half Hour Action Drama.

Just wanted to give you some props. I’m about to take the multitrack daw myself and your stuff has gone a long way towards proving its worth. I’m a big gbv fan as well, so hoping to turn out some mini magic. Keep it up you’re almost there.
