About Me


I make music and pictures for a living.I produce music from my studio, Phonic Studios in Dublin, which I run with fellow music/video guy Paul Byrne. Recently, I produced an album of music written to the words of Ballad of Reading Gaol by Oscar Wilde for an Irish artist called The Homo Erectus (otherwise known as Feargal O'Huiginn). I also recently produced 2 singles for a young artist called Calvin Scully . Also about to start an album with Carl Nelkin, which will be a collection of Jewish songs, many written in Poland during and after World War II. Phew!Before that I produced an album for singer/songwriter Paul Hourican (the latest single from it should be playing right now & the album is out now!), and before that I co-produced an album for chanteuse Jeannette Byrne . I've also produced for Serge Stavila , Una Keane, Paul Hodnett, Rocky De Valera and the Gravediggers , Permafrost and lots of other bits and bobs.When Paul and I aren't makin' music, we're making videos for our new media company, Optophonic . We've made promos and ads for people like Creative Labs, World Vision, SAP and Bord Bia. We even do the odd music video. For example, we edited the last 2 Jack L live DVDs.Website
