I have lots of experience recording remotely from my own studio - where I can work around the clock to get tracks finalised for your project

 
 

Recently I’ve worked on Film & TV soundtracks (inc. Warner Bros. / BBC Netflix / Amazon / Discovery) from my own studio as well as tracking guitars for Artists (inc. Pixie Lott / John Barrowman / Emma Hatton) and recording for corporate clients (inc. Deutsche Bank / HSBC / Natwest).

I am regularly involved in writing and co-producing Production / Library music from here - these songs are published on labels including Warner Chappell / Universal Music Group / SATV Sky.



Projects recorded in my studio can be heard here

 
 
 

Gear

Over the years I have painstakingly collected over 100 vintage and modern guitars, basses (and other stringed instruments) - over 50 classic and contemporary amplifiers and the majority of effect pedal / unit types.

I like to record with real amplifiers, pedals, mics and speakers where possible and am known for having a comprehensive collection of classic guitar equipment.

If you can imagine an iconic guitar tone from the last century I will likely have more than a digital emulation of the equipment that created that classic sound - indeed I will most likely have options on ‘real deal’ equipment for the genre!
