Recorded at DBS Studios Bangkok and Peking Opera HQ Bangkok. 
Mixed on the Neve Genesys. 

Fwends are an accomplished Thai indie band gearing up to complete their full album in 2018. They contacted me through referrals to work with them in the studio for a couple of tracks, the chemistry was magic and I still continue to work with the band even on their live shows as the FOH engineer.

Petrichor - Fwends

This was a session I engineered and mixed with Grammy Award winning Saxophonist Jakob Dinesen from Denmark and French pianist Jean Sebastian Simonoviez. There was a great spirit of musicianship and sensitivity to sound in the room throughout the whole session and every piece was played out of feeling and was an improvised expression of the moment.

Unnamed - Jakob Dinesen & Jean Sebastian Simonoviez

This was recorded by Al Schmitt at Capitol Studio and was part of a mixing competition by puremix.net 

My rendition is reflective of my nature towards mixing and sound, brash and bright. Irregardless, I tried to remain true to the artist and her genre by keeping the arrangement in the mix as was intended by the composer.

Adagio in E Major - Frank Bridge (Organ)

This was me playing Timpani at a school concert for my final IB Music performance submission. I'm uploading this here on my sound profile in memory of my music teacher, who is playing the piano in this recording and without whom I would probably not be involved in music right now. Thanks for everything Mr. Hopkins.

Sonatina for Timpani by ALEXANDER TCHEREPNIN

Was going through my old files and found this track that I had made about five years ago. It was the only song I made on Cubase and I used samplers on VSTs, an old Roland midi sampler and a Korg Karma keyboard/workstation. I managed to use a speech I had of Martin Luther King Jr. and it fit perfectly, lending it's critical statement to the title of the song.

The Promised Land Feat. Martin Luther King Jr.

I produced, recorded and mixed this song at the SAE Institute in Bangkok. It's very typical of Glenn La Salle compositions and recorded by some of the best studio musicians in Thailand. I wanted to keep the arrangement as simple as possible so we could get right on stage and play the song as it were. 

This Song (Pleng Nee)

Originally by the Twilighters, this version is covered by the now disbanded group 'Pussy and the Learjets'. We recorded 5 songs in one afternoon and to date, it is still one of my most memorable projects. 

Nothing Can Bring Me Down - Twilighters Cover by Pussy and The Learjets

This is an original from the now disbanded 'Pussy and the Learjets'. We recorded in some studio in Bangkok, I don't recall where it was......for a number of reasons. Somehow the sinister crackle in the very aggressive bass always reminds me of when I really fell in love with music. Vasaba Turray who comes from Liberia contributes a rap appearance in the song as well, his story was much longer than any I had heard before. 

Initially intended as a rehearsal and writing session, this ended up as the final and only recorded version of the song. I kept the little mistakes in the intro because I'm one for sentiments. This was never properly mixed and the original files are probably lost in history by now.
