Studios
I have strong relationships with several studios and can secure great deals, choosing the right room to suit each artist’s sound and workflow. I often record to tape, so working with a well-maintained machine is essential to capturing the depth and character of analog sound.

Interviews
“I often choose to go against current trends. By aiming to be unique, I ensure that there are no substitutes for my sound”
"Don’t sacrifice your friendships, or family or partner for a work. Otherwise you’ll be living on your own with a cat in the middle of nowhere!"
“I don’t want to record anything which sounds too normal, clean or pristine. Everyone else can do that. I like my records to sound dirtier and different.”
