Sound, effects, music and video

In 2022 I built a 25 square-metre professional home studio called The Fuzbox. It has an acoustically treated mixing room and an isolated booth for voiceovers and other recordings.

My experience of working professionally with sound and video since 1999 includes composing original music cues in a variety of styles, recording session musicians, sound design, tracklaying foley and effects, spacialisation, and mixing and mastering to broadcast standards.

The Fuzbox contains a Kube isolation booth, Dynaudio monitoring, Focusrite Scarlett audio interfaces, Røde and Audio Technica condenser microphones, and GIK acoustic treatment. In terms of software I use Logic Pro, Ableton Live Suite and iZotope Music Production Suite. I compose via a Novation SL master keyboard and Launchpad Pro and additionally I play drums, percussion and guitars.

Working with Ammonite Films and Wordsalad, my role was to compose original music cues, perform them myself with contracted session musicians, and mix and master stereo audio files as deliverables.

My work for the BBC includes a CD release as a featured artist for Radio 3 Late Junction Records, 2002. A 19-date UK tour showcased nine musicians from Senegal and UK and made live broadcasts for the World Service and Radio 3. My role was producer, composer, arranger, sound engineer, mix engineer, tour manager and performer.
