Track 1 from my university professional project. Desolate Destiny utilises binaural recording techniques with a 3Dio Free Space dummy head positioned and capturing all rhythm and lead guitar parts. The results provide a greater depth and locality of guitar parts within the mix creating and defining a space for the bass guitar to operate within the track.

Track 2 of my professional project at university exploring the use of binaural recording techniques and the perception of guitar tones. Marc Bolan's Darjeeling Dinosaur was heavily influenced by T. Rex and Marc Bolan. Again, the rhythm and lead guitar parts were captured with dummy head recordings captured from a 3Dio Free Space.

Track 3 of my EP created for my university professional project. Featuring the use of binaural recording techniques, Three For A Girl was captured with dummy head recordings for all rhythm and lead guitar parts for this piece.

During my first year at university I was lucky enough to have worked and recorded Josh Cook for the first release of Avenue Music. Josh is heavily inspired and was even taught some techniques by Jon Gomm and the incredible melodic and rhythmic percussion is performed simultaneously in a live manner.

During my first year at university, I was asked by Jay Brook of OhBoy! to record a live session to be featured on BBC Introducing for BBC Radio Northampton. Ever since then, I have continued to work and record for OhBoy! and it is very gratifying to see the direction they are taking from being signed with AlcoPop Records and playing the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury.

Whilst I was working as an in house sound engineer at The NN Cafe during my final year at university, I discovered an electronic band called SANE at the October Future Sound event. After being sent an extensive tech rider for a small venue, I knew this was going to be something special. I was transfixed by the dense layers and structures happening in their music and the really unique aspect was that a traditional band format was in place, however each member doubled up with a synthesiser. 

As part of being on the student run record label Avenue Music for the University of Northampton, I was really excited to release some of their material through the label. Presenting them to the other members of the label, I was determined to release a single through the label and I engineered all of the tracking sessions needed and assisted with the mixing process of Born Lever Puller.
