I
have been involved in the Music industry from as far back as I can
remember in one capacity or another. As a student I can recall
applying for a course at The Welsh College of Music & Drama
and being turned Down. Unperturbed by this failure on their behalf
to recognize my full potential, I suggested where exactly they
could stick there course, promptly joined a punk band
in my home town of Cardiff (at the time) and became a total rebel
by studied Electronics & digital Theory.?
After
many years spent sharing my life between working as a musician,
working as a Test engineer for 'Autophon Telecom' and building
my first 16 track Recording Studio, I found my self not for the
first time, doing, 30 second radio Jingles in Welsh. At this
point I began to realize I could probably combine all my? skills
in a more musical and technical environment, and so, I found my
self in London working as a free-lance tech support engineer for
recording studio? I.M.W. Studios, Whitfield St Studios,
Metropolis, Record-Plant L.A and Soul II Soul Studios? where
upon I quietly set about refurbishing all three rooms with some
nice pro gear (See studio Fixes).
Although
working as a free-lance technician takes up most of my time I
have still found time over the past few years? to involve
myself? with teaching Music Technology and Sound Recording
Techniques. The experience I have gain as a musician/technician
in a Professional environment has help greatly in passing on
what I have learned to others and has helped me in maintaining a
keen interest in the ever change field of studio technology and
practices.?
