Awesome to spend some time this week on this glorious Japanese version of a Gretsch – the ‘Country Artist’ from 1978.

Huge couple of weeks since returning from Melbourne – producing a handful of singles, mixing and mastering an EP, composing for an album.

Interface + mic packs going out to clients singing at home. Sing on your tunes when you’re feeling good, rather than however you’re feeling when you’ve booked studio time. #musicproducer #musicproduction #recording #recordingstudio #mixing #mastering #remoterecording

If any level of the Australian Government cared about culture, the operating costs for live music venues like rent, insurance and legally required minimums of security at would be subsidised, capped or classed differently.
People owning and running these venues are not property developers or people pocketing money/equity from increased land value … they aren’t even running a traditional business – they’re spending their life/time contributing to the good of society.
Venues like this are regularly closing down across the whole country and nothing has been implemented to reverse it in my lifetime.
Now music festivals can barely operate either.
We are destined for mediocrity in this country and will never have anything similar to the vibrant cultures of Europe, Asia or the Americas if all levels of Government keep insisting on listening to lobbyists from insurance groups, property developers, car manufacturers, mining companies etc etc etc and allowing them to influence laws that impact our lives.

Great to be working with these cats again (with Mark Henman on the drums).
Cool shot of the portable rig with Universal Audio Apollo X4, Genelec The Ones, IK Multimedia’s insanely good ToneX for guitar tones and the drag and drop glory of PreSonus Studio One!
