April 08 Part 2

Ok, this weeks project was a chap named Ioan Davies. I ve known Ioan a while, in fact me and him wrote a piece of music together that was adopted by Oxjam as an unoffical anthem back in 2006. Any how, back fresh from a trip to France, IOAN has begun recording tracks with me for up and coming releases. We haven't finished anything yet, so I can't send you any copies, but if you are curious about IOAN's music, you can usually catch playing at the Gate in Cathays on their thursday Open Mic night.

The next few days I will be engineering some songs for Len Westbrook. LEN is a jazz singer, who specialises in RAT PACK hits. He is available for hire for functions. Give me a bell if you need him.

Other than that I have been lucky enough to work on some more atmospheric hip hop for a future SOUTH GIRL PRODUCTION MUSIC LTD compilation.

That, I have permission to e-mail to people as a showreel, but be aware!!! SOUTH GIRL have a music lawyer and are a publishing company, so be careful what you do with it!

Peace

April 2008 Projects

OK so here are some of the projects I ve been working on so far this month.

Last week I recorded more material for the up and coming EP by Cardiff rock band Audio Alibi . I think I ve know the guys about two years now, so its cool to listen to the latest stuff and see how far we ve come together.

Check the guys out on http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=95342600

Last weekend I recorded and produced a track with Along came Man. I hadn't met they guys before, even though they are playing shows with The Automatic and Viva Machine, both of whom I ve recorded in the past. Back to Along Came Man. The tracks called INVINCIBLE, it's pretty tasty and I believe its being played to some London based management companys later this month.

Finally, I produced a track for a new Cardiff funk band called The Incredible Me Band. The guys have yet to play a show, but they are definately ready to tear things up when they do.

All three of the bands were pretty stoked with the results and I ll be working with them again in the next few months.

If you would like to hear the quality of any of these tracks you can E-mail me on

warwickhallofsound@hotmail.com

and I ll send you MP3's.

Studio Upgrade 2008

As you may know I am one of the In-House producers at Warwick Hall Recording Studio, Cardiff, and I have good news.
Produced Richard Jackson has just finished recording material towards The Automatics much anticipated follow-up album (due for release later this year), at Warwick Hall. Due to the high profile of these sessions, we have up-graded the studio. We are now running Pro-Tools 7 on a brand new Macintosh computer. We have also invested in BFD Drum software. (Check it out, it will become more and more common in studios).
These changes are all about speeding up the sessions to save our clients money.
If you want a full spec. list for the studio get in touch.

New Blog

OK, This is my new Blog. Its just a place for me to display my production history to date. I m 27, I live in Cardiff, UK. I ve been very lucky since I started producing and have landed some pretty sweet projects (as are listed on the right). Its given me a degree of financial fredom, which I am hoping to use to work on the music projects that I want to work on. If you live in Cardiff and you are looking for a producer to help to shift from the "demo recordings" quality up to the level of recording music for commercial release then by all means get in touch. I m a full time producer, so I don't tend to work for free, but I m open to all kinds of different payment arrangments depending on the project.
