Equal Education: Education Summit radio spot

This is a snippet of the song Where To From Here by We Set Sail taken from their EP Something About The Moon, on which I did additional recording, additional production and final mix. Apart from the mix, my contribution was suggesting the leslie sound when we overdubbed the piano. I love that sound :)

We Set Sail - Where To From Here - Snippet

A piece I wrote very quickly for a short documentary by Lara Cuna, entered into the GE Focus Forward Filmmaker competition. She went on to be a semifinalist. 

"Palesa's Fruit is a story about a young South African girl who discovers the nuts of discarded Marula fruit can be used as charcoal. This renewable energy source could prove revolutionary for her rural community."

Palesa's Fruit Theme

I produced the title theme for the ENCA tv channel's show Tech Report.

An instrumental segue-way piece I wrote and recorded for The Sleepers album A Signal Path. It was based on a melodic theme repeated throughout the album.

Awoken by Waves

Covered In Noise started as a studio project between Nicolai Roos (The Sleepers) and George van der Spuy (Taxi Violence, Crawling King Snake), later involving Adam Hill (The Sleepers, Echo Beach) and Chris De Wet Bornman (Stoker). This was the first of an album batch written quickly over a period of a few days. More songs to follow soon.
The song was recorded by Nic and George at Kill City Blues Studios and Nic mixed it in Canada.
