Dedicated, nuanced mixing engineer with a decade of experience and (still) an abundance of curiosity. I specialise in making dynamic & visceral sounding mixes, attempting to eke out the maximum emotional potential of your songs. Recent credits for producing and mixing: Za Noon - Heartdrag Arbes - Counterways
In person I offer a bottom to top service of recording, producing and mixing. Remotely I offer a more in-depth mixing service. I try to bring all my knowledge and ideas from producing and recording into the mix process. If you do need a song turned around in a couple of days I am capable of that, but prefer a more immersive workflow.
I'm also able to remotely produce a song, adding layers or elements utilising my collection of vintage synthesizers (Juno 106,Dx7) or tracking guitar through vintage microphones and outboard gear.
I specialise in mixing and producing music that's been primarily recorded with live instrumentation, (alternative pop/rock/folk, dreampop, shoegaze, art-pop etc.)
I believe every individual song is it's own unique puzzle that needs to be cracked. I love following every impulse through to see where it takes the song, even if it means you end up command Z'ing an hour of work, there could be a single nugget found that makes it's way into the final mix.
I love the process of building out a world of sounds, with every little detail getting it's own send, coalescing into a vast sonic cloud. I also love working with something achingly intimate & small, (a guitar and a voice) & trying to get that to feel as impactful as an orchestra.
I have a hybrid workflow, with a big plugin library (like everyone else) and some choice pieces of outboard gear.
