Interview with Coombes Studios

  1. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  2. A: Right after finsihing University, I worked doing sound design and sound mixing for a film called "Incriminating Mary" which went on to win 10 awards and was nominated for 3 more.

  3. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  4. A: Both. Digital for its ease of use, convienece and recallability. But I think alalog still has its place due to each piece of equipments unique sound, and somewhat unpredictability. I like that no other equipment sounds like what I have in my studio, and it helps me to develop my own sound.

  5. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  6. A: Being able to work with such a variety of interesting artists and on differnet styles of music.

  7. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  11. Q: How would you describe your style?

  12. A: Smooth and characterful.

  13. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  14. A: So many, but perhaps Jorja Smith because of her choice of instumentals combines more traditional jazz and soul soul sounds with contempory style vocals.

  16. A: Jazz, Soul, Hip-Hop, Rap and Indie/Rock.
