Posing in studio with The Refuseniks

• I’m about to start developing my sounds with the official endorsement of Emu Systems, the world’s longest established developer of sampling instruments. They sound so good in fact, that I’m still using an Emu ESI4000 hardware sampler. They’re upgrading me to the Emulator X soft sampler. First out will be the upright pianos, to be followed by my extensive library of original material. So this means I’ll be using the Windows machine a lot more often!

• I’m producing a couple of singles for Seeing Red Records. First band up is True Delusion.

• Finished audio post for Rebel Underground from Frameworks Films, documenting the campaign for a skateboard/ BMX/ rollerblade park in Cork city. Some amazing talent there. No web presence to show you though.
• Femepop mixing and mastering has been completed. Sounds great.
• I updated the mic list, I have the Shure PG series for toms and bass drum, and some more SD condensers. I have an agreement with a few other engineers to pool our mic collections. So if you need a specific mic, let me know, we probably have it.
