Let's Exchange The Experience
Dustin Ragland works in the borderlands of music technology, education, and performance, with a focus on connections between philosophy and contemporary music.
Working as a touring + session drummer for 12 years, with a background in ancient languages, Dustin has built up connective tissue between the hands-on act of music creation and textual explorations into sound and technology. He has presented sound installations and lectures at the OK Contemporary Gallery, Science Museum Oklahoma, MAINSITE Norman, and the OKC Museum of Art. He writes and performs music as Young Weather.
Dustin has been a professor of music production at the Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma since 2010, an Ableton Certified Trainer since 2014, and is an active studio engineer, live, and session musician. He is currently working on a Masters of Music Technology, and doing research and composition with Max/MSP to provide pitched ambient dimension to traditional acoustic percussion via real-time granular synthesis.

In addition to my original music as Young Weather,
I produce, engineer, mix, and play instruments on many projects throughout the year.
I own and operate Mir Studio, a small but mighty space on the west-central side of OKC. I am always happy to schedule and plan booking for individual songwriters, session musicians, and bands. I also enjoy helping artists to plan their project financially, product-wise, and get ready for live performance, as part of the production process.
I am also an Ableton Certified Trainer, and am happy to explore private lessons, training,
and custom Max For Live device development with you.
To set up any of these please contact me HERE
