Atoms For Peace

I've been continuing my work as Nigel Godrich's engineer this time with Thom Yorke's new band Atoms For Peace.

I helped the guys with programming for their live set-up and have been looking after the sound at their shows in Europe and the US.

Here's a clip from the New York Show:
I started the year with more work with Ultraísta in January when the band travelled to the US to perform on the Jimmy Fallon Show. We also went to LA where I recorded them at the legendary Village studios in LA for their session with KCRW.

You can see the whole session here or watch one of the tracks "Bad Insect" below at the bottom of this post.

Currently I've been working with Atoms For Peace in preparation for the Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich's duo sets that are due to take place in London, Berlin and New York.

I've also started pre-production for Lisbee Stainton's new album "Word Games" which should be out in the Autumn and am finishing tracks for Femme's first release which will be out in May this year.

Abram Wilson

I was very much looking forward to heading in to the studio in the beginning of July to produce and mix and album for the multi-award winning New Orleans trumpeter, vocalist and composer, Abram Wilson. Sadly he passed on the 9th June 2012, aged 38 after being diagnosed with cancer three days earlier.

Abram was an amazing guy with great positivity and boundless energy and he will be missed. Please see this link to the Abram Wilson Foundation that has been set up in his memory.


Saint Saviour - I Call This Home (Mixing & Guitar)

Saint Saviour’s fantastic new single I Call This Home from her forthcoming debut album Union is available to stream now. I mixed most of the album as well as playing bass and guitar on a few of the tracks.

The album will be released on 25th June, but for now you can listen to I Call This Home on the Soundcloud widget below.
