Life and career

Early years

Randy Slaugh grew up in the suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania playing music in alternative rock and post-hardcore bands. He began teaching himself audio production in 2004 and later went on to study communication and advertising at Brigham Young University - Idaho. While in Idaho, Slaugh connected with audio engineer Ken Dudley and started learning more professional levels of production.

2010-Present

In 2010, Slaugh connected with the band Periphery at some of their early shows. After hearing a demo of their song "Have a Blast," he reached out to lead guitarist and producer Misha Mansoor, and offered to record real violin and cello to replace the midi strings in the demo. In 2013, Slaugh worked with Misery Signals, who were recording their album Absent Light in Idaho and were looking for more extensive string arrangements to feature on the album. Later that year, he went on to work with I Killed the Prom Queen, Devin Townsend, Architects, We Shot the Moon, and Intervals. In 2015, Slaugh joined progressive pop group White Moth Black Butterfly after working with Daniel Tompkins and Keshav Dhar on Skyharbor's Guiding Lights album the previous year. He co-wrote and co-produced the group's album Atone, as well as their Rising Sun , which were released via Kscope.
with Devin Townsend in 2014
