I encourage anyone who is or has worked in the Australian music industry to complete this survey.
It will help give a more accurate picture of some of the working environments, expectations and situations workers have found themselves in, and be part of helping to improve things for everyone ✌🏻

A few of the cats from Winchester Revival after they finished up their latest single today. For good rock and roll times, catch one of their live shows.

Release day for Karise Eden’s EP – a few hours in and it’s #18 in Australia on iTunes.. 🚀
Southern Rock with the power of a thousand fires 🔥
Produced, recorded, mixed, mastered here at JNP with Mark Henman on the kit, and me on the rest (but ahh …not the singing bit).

I built these Seventh Circle Audio preamps around 10 years ago – Neve, API, Melennia, Hardy style for some vibe and recently built their newer SSL9000 which is gloriously clean. Great tones!

End of another week – this one full of mixing. This week also marked another year since Prince left and it’s cool having a little version of him watching on and keeping my standards high!

After over 20 years with Cubase, I have made the switch to PreSonus Audio Electronics Studio One and I can’t wait to use it with everyone!
It’s super inspiring and obviously made to enhance creative flow, where others inhibit it.
Refreshed and ready for the next 20. ✌🏻

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!
