About Me



I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

I am an audio engineer based in Scotland who specialises in taking a creative approach to producing and developing other peoples music and discovering new ways to capture sound. I take great interest in the theory that surrounds cultural production and consumption and i am always willing to help upcoming artists get their music recorded and promoted. I often spend time recording audio in experimental ways and researching great recordings and how the engineers, producers and musicians achieved the results. This way I am always finding new techniques and improving my knowledge and skills as an audio engineer. Recent clients include Martin Taylor, Alison Burns, Eddi Reader, Julie Fowlis, Maggie MacInnes, Mor Media, diAgusto, Kieran Docherty and Allan Henderson.
