I am a graduate of the UK University of Surrey “Tonmeister” degree course in Music and Sound Recording. This institution represents worlds best practice in sound recording training and provides unique opportunity for musicians and engineers that are passionate about sound recording to kick-start their careers.
After completing the course, I went on to work as a freelance engineer and editor based at Euphonia/Chop ‘Em Out in Notting Hill, London. I worked on numerous projects for Collins Classics, ASV, IMP and my recording of the John Casken ‘Cello concerto was nominated for a Gramophone award. In 1999 I emigrated to Melbourne, Australia where I have made my home ever since.
I have also been involved with the Audio Engineering Society here in Melbourne where a group of us have re-formed the section in order to try and breathe new life into its activities.
I am currently spending my time working on film and media projects in a Location Sound and Audio Post capacity. I have a huge passion for sound on film and will consider working on any project – large or small. Please feel free to approach me with any project ideas or proposals – I would be happy to discuss them and to share my thoughts on how to progress them.
