Portable setup getting the job done today in #Brisbane.
Knocked over takes of acoustic guitars and vocals for two tunes. Made the rest of the music remotely from video demos and got some help from @stevenpope on the kit from sunny #Melbourne.

A classic that I don’t play enough.
Great to smash the unmistakable tones of the Strat today in a session.
Love the large 70s headstock!

Good times all this week and next with Roy’s super weird and epic tunes. He’s tuning in from Brisbane, Steve Pope – Drummer is working out drum parts from Melbourne, and I’m in the mountains making all the jokes.
All of us can hear studio quality audio as well, which makes it feel like we’re in the same room (for better or worse!).

Yesterday in Ballarat with my great friend Ric Formosa. Love this guy – one of Australia’s best composers and players with a million great stories from Italy, Canada and his time in the early days of Little River Band. Hopefully we can spend much more time together in the near future!

Not everything about working on tunes is black and white … but this photo is.

Always a great pleasure to put some music down for Lix North Artist’s process videos.
Her new works are amazing as always!

Car session yesterday – dropped in some tracks from a session player in America, did some backing vocals on a couple of songs (@seelectronics DCM8 shoved into the steering wheel!).

First time all three of us have been in the same space at the same time … a LOT of records made between us.
A lot of stories and knowledge shared that I’m grateful for.
Thanks Caleb and Steve ✌🏻❤️

Asked @stevenpope to keep the same vibe in a song at 3:08 … Siri decided it was worth setting a reminder for at 3:08pm.

Had a chat with these cool cats recently about whether pop music has an algorithm!

Working on some tunes for a songwriter down in Tasmania with a ‘pyschadelic / spaghetti western’ direction. Heaps of fun leaning into stuff like this with the aim to be creative and super vibey.

One of the best records I’ve ever worked on. Give it a listen!
Adelaide’s Kahl Wallis (of The Medics) is releasing tracks from his album we made together a few years ago:

Complete! Two more SSL 9000k preamps to add to the collection. These two will probably sit on the mix bus for the foreseeable future and print into every project when it comes to the final mix. They include a really nice HPF on the bottom Grayhill knob too!

Knocking over two more SSL 9000 style preamps designed by @seventhcircleaudio. Great to use on acoustic instruments and also as a fantastic summing option to tighten up low end.

Cool to see the new Ruler of Sweden – one of Adelaide’s deadliest @simiv1music at #eurovision with @electricfields_music.

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
