What is CHiTT Productions?

CHITT Productions was started by a couple of bad motor scooters tired of the glossy finished mainstream media machine. We produce underground music, films & graphic design projects guerrilla style: on the cheap, on the fly, and on the run. Our goal is to produce quality art while supporting the local scene that makes creative collaboration possible, fresh and exciting.

CHiTT helps artists take their work to the next level, whether it's out of the basement and onto a stage, or recording a multitrack demo complete with graphic design and online promotion. CHiTT grows as an ideology when we hear more collective voices telling the tale of the world through artists' eyes.

Art is not a commodity. Art is a way of living and a vehicle for creative activity and a seed for social change. Art is a form of expression that separates the magi from the masses, and every artistic act that occurs outside of the capitalistic marketplace is inherently a political statement and a defiant challenge to the powers that be.

CHiTT Productions is a testament to the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) ethic in the bittersweet postmodern age of digital living. While we might arguably be more happy sitting under a tree strumming homemade instruments, we're going to use the technological tools at our disposal to spread our messages until the day this whole mess comes crashing down. When it does, we'll meet you by the aspens, and we'll trade stories of all the fun things we created while it lasted.

As digital technology becomes even more accessible to common people, artists have access to more creative devices than ever before, at a fraction of what it would have cost previous generations. While CHiTT Productions feels we produce a quality body of work given the tools at our disposal, we're not greedy and we're not in it for status. We strongly believe that it's more valuable to impart the DIY ideology to others rather than horde the means of production to ourselves. Consequently we plan on sharing all the useful insights, tools, tricks and tips that we discover on our journey in hopes that others can benefit and draw the inspiration it takes to make a habit of being creative.

Contact us if you live in the Laramie/Casper WY region. We currently do music/speech recording, live sound engineering, graphic design projects and video production if the cause is right. We don't care if our sound ain't bourgeois, it's still da CHiTT.
