I’ve been playing guitar from the age of six, but took up one-to-one lessons at eleven and passed my grade 8 last year. Since 2010 I have been applying my musical knowledge to a range of other instruments:
Piano
Accordion
Violin
Mandolin
Saxophone
Bass + double bass
Diatonic harp
While working on recording and producing music, I also play live sets using a loop pedal, guitar and a violin - the pickup of which I also use percussively.
For recording I use a Stagg shotgun mic and an SM57 for vocals and acoustic instruments, use Garage Band as a means of recording clean takes, before putting the track together in FL Studio 9. I love to experiment with LFOs, distorition and glitching/chopping different sounds together. The majority of synths sounds I make are results of toying with the Wasp plugin and some of them are simply results of playing a guitar riff though a heavy sequence of effects from a live pedal system.

Rough work - recording stuff before I leave tomorrow, mixing on the train.
Really really haunting, I love it
Though you’re going to want to mess with that one thumping percussive element a bit, it sits over the mix a bit way too much and I honestly thought it was clipping when it first came in.
yeah these are literally just straight recordings with a bit of reverb, ain’t nothin’ near put together properly yet, just exported while I was doing the same with the clean stems
Rough work - recording stuff before I leave tomorrow, mixing on the train.
Experimenting with typography, which I’ll most likely apply to later album covers (as well as a well-needed blog redesign).
Here I’m trying to reduce letters to their main signifying traits - stripping back what I can whilst still keeping each character identifiable, all the while restricting myself to a set of rules to create a sense of uniform amongst the scattered, segmented letterforms. Still experimenting with the rest of the alphabet.
Not designed for quick, accessable readability, but created as an observation of how each letter is constructed - analysing what exactly makes each one unique.
What would people feel about seeing a sort of video diary as I put some of this EP together?
Making more breakcore - tons of fun. Gonna layer in some organic instruments later, just did this much on the train home.
potential album cover in progress
not really levelled properly or anything yet so enjoy the crackly sounds. Just having fun at the end of a stressful week.
sorry i spent so long to get back to this but thank you!! I’m glad you found it too. peace
Weird + cool method to create ambient/noise sounds using air travelling through though a tiny gap to fill a compressed space. Using this to stock up my glitch sample library at the moment.
Unfinished track - still got to add vocals, guitars and get the whole thing levelled properly, but at the moment I’m just having fun making some house.
