Some live recording last night at @bris_powerhouse. Great facility with super nice staff – thanks for letting me take up some space Adam, Skye and Jo ✌🏻

The non-existent, never released 1176JN compressor.
Almost every vocal clients send me for their productions or mixes ends up going through these units. Even without compression engaged they have a lovely filtering sound.
Built in house by my well-used musician’s hands!

A rack of Neve 1272 and SSL 9000 inspired preamps … doing some maintenance to keep them in tip top shape.

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!).
June 28, 2024
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:

End of a huge week co-writing with a client for her pop album (Sia/Billie vibes) and mixing for some folks based in Nashville.

Wonder what this one does?

A couple of classics reimagined. #1176

Heart transplant – JNP now runs on a Mac Studio.

Acoustic with blue energy.
June 27, 2022
A special audience today with the new Fresh Prince – Anders. Uncle James will only ever play you the good tunes, little guy.

Ain’t no debate – both of them are great! #lespaul #stratocaster

Hey … Number 2 independent album in Australia – Karise Eden just keeps chalking up the Ws with ‘Into the Black’, which happens to rock pretty hard.

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 ✌🏻

Tubes and transformers keeping me warm!

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.

Japanese made guitar, Australian made drums! 🤝

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).

Throwback to 2016 – in Australian Guitar Magazine chatting to @peterzmedia

Dane from Winchester Revival just before smashing his part. Pensive, but knowing.
April 29, 2022
But is the mix done?
April 28, 2022
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!
April 22, 2022
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!
April 20, 2022
Number 1 Independent Single in Australia ✌🏻
Karise Eden, Mark Henman – we did ok!

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. ✌🏻
