Profile
- How would you categorise your musical output?
- Spoken Word (poems) mixed with a bounty of sounds, melodies and ambiance crossing many genres. The music and words create a visual image for the mind as you listen. At least that is the idea :-).
- What are your favourite pieces of studio hardware?
- My partner uses a mic to orate her poems. Ocassionally she plays piano. I use Acid 6 with loops and tons of different software plugins.
- Which Digital Audio Workstation application do you use?
- Acid 6
- What's your favourite digital instrument?
- I don't play one...yet. So you could say our minds although technically they aren't digital...or are they? Then again you could say the "PC" is my favourite.
- Who are your musical/production influences or heroes?
- David Bowie, Robert Fripp, Depeche Mode, Frank Zappa, Jean Michel Jarre, Gary Wright, Iggy Pop, Brian Eno, Art of Noise, The Cars, Talking Heads, Patti Smith and Emily Carmen to name a few. Anyone using Electronica in a weird and wonderful way.

I've never heard of binaural beats but from what I read was that humans hear sound as it comes to their ears from different sources and flows through and around the head etc as it enters each ear. So a binaural recording is one where the mics are situated where the ears are with dummy head in between (or someone wears the mics near their ears) and you get a very different listening experience. Almost sounds like 3-D. Some people even use them to record FX or natural spaces. Check out this site as it has some binaural recordings http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/whatIsFreesound.php

We got some great photos of the show last night. It rocked!
Just listening to the Crocodile Hunter.Cool. Same vocal.
The theory of binaural beats as I understand it is that two slightly different frequencies played in separate speakers creates a third, implied frequency that becomes the beat.
I've also been listening to music for healing that is recorded specifically for headphones - for example using a 'binaural beat' to reprogramme the brain rhythms to be more effective.
I would love to visit those ancient sites - those mysteries appeal to me, but it's a long swim from Australia! Down here we have places like Uluru.
Still love that disturbing vocal. I can hear that it sits right out in the mix because it's not competing with anything.
Side note: going to see Silverchair and Powderfinger tonight. Have you heard of these great Aussie bands over there?
Daniel Johns from Silverchair is married to Natalie Imbruglia if that's any help - I believe she is known over there...! Maybe that's not your cup of tea, but it will be good to see stadium rock for a change - not something I do often.
My style varies depending on what I feel like and what I have to work with. I like having my own style and not fitting into any one category - but then I don't have to market this for anyone so there is no pressure.
I have been mixing and monitoring on a home stereo - mostly at high volume. i am hoping to replace these over the coming weeks with a pair of HS80m's and a sub-woofer, but we might have to get through Xmas first!
That's a freaky vocal on GLASS (good). Do you also mix on the headphones? You seem to have a very broad stereo lay-out in that song.
I like your style and the reference to Stonehenge. Cool!
that track sounds interesting and the vocal is good, good voice and character.
Nice
