This site carries examples of my recording work over the last 40 years. I did my first professional recording in my teens and I have been doing demos of one sort or another ever since. I now have my own 24 track digital recording studio.Band/artist history
I started recording on reel to reel tape in mono in the 1960s, later graduating to overdubs (still in mono) then to 4 track and lastly 8 track tape in the early 90s. In this period I recorded demos exclusively on location, loading the kit into the car, setting up at the venue, recording, putting it all back in the car, home again, unload,set up and ready for mixdown. No wonder I have back trouble.
Five years ago I took early retirement and have managed to build myself a permanent studio based in a 24ft by 12ft brick outbuilding.Have you performed in front of an audience?Only once, I 'guested' for a couple of Stones numbers with the works band.
