And that was September! From the release of Ian Pillow’s 3 Songs for Mary (not pictured, but on Spotify 😉) through guest appearing on (not pictured, but on Spotify 😉), filming 2 epic concerts ( and ), and plenty of .recording.days sessions, it was definitely a month 😅

October doesn’t let up - catching up on post-production, off to Norway and Birmingham to deliver workshops, LRD; then November will see some exciting filming and a trip to Spain… Life is busy, life is good ☺️

Out today! I had the privilege of producing the 3 Songs of Mary for this disc of new works by Ian Pillow.

This was such a fun recording to make and features the phenomenal talents of .gregg.soprano and bringing Ian’s songs to life. The album also features orchestral works with soloists Joseph Skypala and Rosalie Curlett, which were recorded in Belfast by Richard Campbell and Christopher Gough. The album was then mastered by who did an amazing job bringing the separate recordings into a cohesive soundworld.

The music is lyrical, challenging, madcap, bluesy, cinematic… it has everything 😂 Give it a listen!

And there goes August!

Lots of wonderful .recording.days sessions, as always :) but the highlight was going to Oslo for the 🤩

From attending the semifinal, through talking to some of the amazing jurors, being on a panel of industry leaders, delivering a lecture and Q&A to the and cohorts… it was a phenomenal experience and left me with a real fire in my belly to do more work in the area of developing singers’ performance skills specifically for the medium of video. There’s a big gap in training, but more importantly a huge opportunity to empower singers to show off more of their personality and artistry within the confines of an audition tape.

Oh, and obviously I watched the final of the competition on .eu - what a phenomenal initiative that is! I believe you can watch some of my favourite young singers on there right now in the RCM production of Le nozze di Figaro 😉 as well as the QSSC final.

A look back at July 👀

Alongside my .recording.days work, I got to produce videos for the Alvarez Emerging Artists at their stunning new facilities (Garsington Studios), as well as for the Young Artists of . There is SO MUCH vocal talent in the UK, and I can’t express how much I love being immersed in it 😊

I also recorded and filmed an operatic double-bill for in the RCM Britten Theatre. A pretty large undertaking, so I enlisted the help of my LRD partner-in-crime - to bounce ideas off of and operate one of the cameras. Excited to get stuck into the edit of the show 🤓💻

I also got to spend a day at Champs Hill filming 🎥 some fly-on-the-wall footage to (eventually) promote the upcoming EP of new works by Lee Bradshaw performed by and 💿

Oh, and we also managed to fit in a week away in Cornwall with family and the doggie 💪🗺️

A look back at June. Recitals, .recording.days , making ‘a YouTube’, and catching up on some larger editing projects. Oh, and Instagram said I should add music to my post, so I picked something from the and .mourier.piano EP we recorded a while ago that you should definitely check out!

Hidden in a pew out of view 😉

Kicking off 2025 with a recording of Eugene Onegin highlights with

The cast sounds epic, the orchestra is on point, and I managed to ‘fix’ one of the church lights, so the soloists will be illuminated on film. Should be a great evening!

A brief look back at the last audition tape session of 2024, bringing the running total of singers who recorded demos with me this year to 283!

The editing never ceases, of course, but for the next few weeks that’s all I’ll be doing other than recharging batteries (both actual and metaphorical).

Bookings for 2025 are open, be it through .recording.days or directly with me. A couple of CD/streaming releases are in the pipeline, some exciting projects already in the diary for next year, so bring on the new year, I say 🥳

Donizetti, Mozart, Puccini, Korngold, Liszt - all one apiece btw

Ok, so I forgot to take a session photo, the day ran away from me, but WAIT! First up is the obligatory somehow-related-to-work photo, and seeing as I’m out recording again tomorrow, first order of business is to charge batteries and offload data.

But as a thank you for putting up with such a rubbish photo, I’ve added a photo of our new (almost 11-year-old, though) doggie. You’re welcome!
