Sound Recordist / Mixer

Since 2002 I've been a freelance sound recordist/mixer who specialises in location recording for single camera PSC, 
multi-camera PSC and full De-Rig/flyaway productions.

Everything from the simplest of PSC Vox Pops to a full multi-camera de-rig production to multi-track live music recordings.

I can look after all on-site sound requirements including full gallery comms, playback, line cut mixing, multi-track recording, timecode distribution, grams & cues, etc.

I'm also an experienced studio floor sound technician.

 Bassist

"You can't hold no groove.......
if you ain't got no pocket"
 ......to quote the phenomenal talent that is Victor Wooten.
​
But what does playing "in the Pocket” actually mean? 

To me it's this:

“In the pocket” is where a solid rhythm section lives. It is a place of 'consistency', where the kick drum plays a rhythm or pattern and the bass locks in and plays on (or off) that very same rhythm - keeping the groove consistent and never losing timing.

I love to play bass - it's my guilty pleasure. Been doing it for quite a while now. I first picked up the bass in 1980.

My pocket is slowly getting deeper!
