Pulling out the @seelectronics VR1 for acoustic on an EP … running through SSL 9000 preamps that I built last year from @seventhcircleaudio. #musicproducer #musicproduction #recording #acousticguitar #studio

Built this 1176 about 14 years ago and it was an early DIY project for me so not quite perfect! Doing a few repairs to bring it back to new.

Great to hang out with Orimoto San, the king of 下倉アコースティック Shimokura Acoustic Guitars Ochanomizu.
I’ve bought two ヤイリギター K.Yairi Guitars from him and Lix North Artist has bought one as well.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for an incredible instrument at a great price. EMS postage worldwide is available. #acousticguitar #acoustic #japaneseguitar #ochanomizu

Today’s literal office #musicprodction

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!
