Music
Introduction
Having played bass and piano with a number of hip beat combos over the years, maturity has brought a more sedate approach to making music. Everything is now solo and produced in my project studio. The studio is centred around an Intel based DAW running Sonar Pro recording software.
Equipment and instruments include:
- Echo Layla 3g digital recording interface
- Samson preamps and microphones
- Shure, SM, and Sennheiser microphones
- Yamaha AW16G mobile 16 track recorder and mixer
- Fender fretless Jazz bass
- Yamaha P-80 stage piano
- Line6 Variax 500
- In-house built monitoring system using AH DAC, EL34 SE amplifier with Ariel6c speakers + tannoy red nearfields
Examples
Some examples from the utility sonar research kitchen :-
taken from the album 'Everybody knows a willy' together with a spiffing shot of that other hip beat combo 'The wee mannies', who incidentally, don't play this kind of music.
And from Battery Thinkers, also variously recorded and produced at the sonar research kitchen :-
And for something completely different :-
I close my eyes and count to ten
Production
If anybody from the Humberside area would like help producing a demo album, budget recording, or even a location recording then please use the contact form for more information.
Alternatively, if you live anywhere and you just can't contain your curiosity regarding the kind of music that the wee mannies play, then again, just send an email via the contact form. Its all about the balsa nova!.
