Rad day hanging with Dylan from and
Really amazing line of Turkish made cymbals that Dylan has
Love the attitude of bringing people together to play

Sibilance
Can be hard to deal with right
Sure there are de essers soothe etc or singing across or above the diaphragm which sometimes are all that’s needed to tame or reduce

Other solutions if your recording the Vocal is to change the mic for that phrase word or verse chorus etc which when you thibk about it can add a different flavour and tone a production element

Another overlooked option is to change the word if the artist is down with that
Keep a thesaurus on hand again it can totally fix the problem and create a new vibe phrasing option

I definitely use these options on a regular basis rather than letting it go to fix in the mix

Another example of turning a problem or mistake into something creative and a feature
Always 2 sides to the coin

Messing about with some tools lately
I’m generally a little sceptical about automatic processes but thought I’d give auto align and Evintide Precision Time align a go
I’m generally pretty manual with phase and time and always trying to get it sounding good wity mics and or using stock p tools time adjustment but I must say this is pretty good and does save time

Another interesting tool is forte again for saving time on repeated tasks like routing colour coding etc
Crazy times

Posted • Abandoned Work of Art! OUT NOW 💫


Abandoned Work of Art is the first taste of music and the opening track of my long gestating rock opera, a deathbed fairytale… ‘A Dreamer’s Eyes’.

“This song is a mission statement. It’s a culmination of years spent following and distancing myself from my creative journey, but carving my own path through poetry, music journalism, theatre, hospitality and parenthood - and re-languaging my creative process as a spiritual practice that is my foundation to live upon’.

Long story short… this is the beginning.

.au New Album out soon

Posted • .au My second album Transistor is coming out on May 16th! Super keen to share this one. I’ve been a big fan of Dreampop for a while and spent a long time trying to get the right vibe, although there’s still some moments where the Psych rock came through.

My main mission for this one was to not worry about what it should or shouldn’t be, to just let the songs evolve into whatever they wanted to be. It’s all about the vibe & the atmosphere.

Recorded at home

Stay tuned! 📡
