Monikers fueled by expanding sketch work and differing techniques) I seem to enjoy keeping some projects anonymous. It helps me to keep the projects focused on the art, rather then all the other stuff.

process

Well, my style of production is quite random these days. Although in the past i have had rules and prescribed ways of doing things (I was in training), these days, apart from quality time management, i like to really free up the creative procedure and rely more on the moment. Trying simple techniques in many different ways until one clicks, is where its at.

Love working with passionate musicians who love to experiment with ideas and parts, without getting to serious or rigid. Let's try something that little bit more out there, without that insistent concern of whether people will get it. I'll make sure the final product does hit the spot in today's audio climate, which will allow it to surface and have its chance on the gravy train.

Digital Harshness. Analogue Warmth. Mistakes and rough edits. Everything goes during tracking. Simple decisions during final mix down will help translate the vital parts. Tracking long sessions, 5 to 24hrs.... Mixing short sessions, 1 to 3hrs ... .
