    uniE603 Darcey Smurfit. Perfect
    Darcy is the most amazing talent. Our work together is a classic example of remote working working really well. All of the music you hear was created by me around Darcey's original vocal.
    uniE603 Southy
    This is a mix from stems sent to me by the artist
    uniE603 Ramona: Pending release in 2025
    Here is a track I have pending for release in 2025 by a band called The Jacques. The Jacques are a band in the UK and represent the traditional studio based music that would normally be best served in a commercial recording studio, although in this case all but the drums were recorded remotely using home set ups. They are a good indicator of what is possible outside of the traditional and expensive commercial studios.It is a blend of real and virtual instruments. I produced recorded and mixed these songs. master music beat
    paper Sound design for Cosmic Wisdom

    I balanced and created the sound for this video. The voice was poor quality and had to be rescued. The bed music has some enhancements by me as well as all the FX.
