About Me

Self Confessed Music Freak Who Writes, Records, Produces, Plays and listens! I also enjoy taking photographs. ............................................................ ............................................................ ...........I have been working professionally in the music industry for over 20yrs now as an engineer, producer and designer and builder of musical contraptions, as well as the places to listen to and record them in. I have recorded an amazing array of Australian talent from Jim Keays, Paul kelly and Stephen Cummings through to Pollyanna, Dave Graney and The Living End and have a long list of credits and achievments including National and International Airplay, Hottest 100's and messages of congratulations from people with good taste in music. ............................................................ ............................................................ .......Check out The Mercy Kills, Axes of Ken Eavel, The Roys, Dan Sultan, The Frowning Clouds, Fisker and The Vasco Era for some recent examples..........................................(past projects will be included on a new website, www.bigskyaudio.biz, presently under construction.) ............................................................ ................................................. I can currently be found leaning over a hot mixing console in my new studio "Big Sky Audio Productions" on the rural outskirts of Melbourne. Yes, I still record and mix using a 72 input analogue mixing console connected by cables to a plethora of rackmounted outboard devices, all which add their own individual colours and characters to the electricity, that is the music, which passes through them. ............................................................ ............................................................ ...........On other days I can be found exploring one of the many other desks scattered across this Great Southern Land as well as the chain of devices, ending as speakers in a room, attached to said desk. (See The Vasco Era, The Fumes, John Steel Singers, The Whiskey Go Go's, The Mercy Kills, Little Red and Dash And Will for upcoming shows. ........................................................
