Versatile audio engineer with a strong understanding of both the technical and creative aspects of recording. Experience includes capturing acoustic guitar, piano, voice, and ensembles across professional studio and live environments, including work with XL Recordings and House of Noise. Skilled in microphone technique, signal flow, and session setup, I take a thoughtful approach to achieving detailed, natural recordings with warmth and clarity. I pride myself on creating calm, collaborative session environments that allow artists to deliver confident and nuanced performances. Alongside recording and editing, I’m methodical in file management and maintain rigorous metadata and session organisation standards. While my specialization is in sound, I’ve also supported live performances and productions with video, lighting, and wider technical duties. I’m a confident trouble shooter and resourceful in client-facing environments. An example of my live work with Ruthven at 180 Studios can be viewed here: _Website not available.
