Michael Simms - Music Producer

About Me

"Music producer, engineer, and programmer Michael Simms is a formidable triple-threat in the recording studio. His output reveals an artist very much at home across an impressively wide range of sonic and musical styles, from (to suggest just a few examples) slinky & atmospheric electronica to big-hearted jangly acoustic rock to tight, polished, hook-laden radio pop. Think Imogen Heap to Wilco to Weezer. The mastering engineer in me loves working on audio tracks of this caliber, and the music fan in me can't wait to hear what he does next."
- Tom Durack
(Producer/Mastering Engineer, NYC - Ulrich Schnauss, Mike Doughty, Lou Reed, Howard Shore, They Might Be Giants, The B-52s)
"Michael Simms is definetly a talented Producer/Musician with the potential to live long and prosper. I've played in bands with him and have also played keys on many projects he's produced for other artists. He approaches all musical genres from a uniquely fresh, yet educated angle."
- Ian Peres (Keyboard/Bass player for Wolfmother) Overseas Mastering by Tom Durack available to "EP and Album" production and mixing clients upon request!
Tom Durack is a mastering engineer from New York City. Tom's impressive CV in both production and music mastering includes work with international recording artists such as Ulrich Schnauss, Mike Doughty, They Might Be Giants, Lou Reed, the B-52s and many more.

"Tom Durack has worked with some of my favourite artists, as well as some great independent talent doing awesome things at the moment not only in the US, but all over the world. Having his skilled ears on board to master the work I produce will be of great benefit to my clients who are serious about taking their music a world-class level" - Michael Simms (Producer/Engineer/Programmer - Australia)
