Hi there, I’m James, a music producer and audio engineer. I am currently developing my practice, continuing to build experience across projects and collaborative creative work. I aim to create sonically polished productions, balancing technical precision with the individuality and vision of the artist.
My approach focuses on creative collaboration, ensuring artists feel supported and involved throughout the process. I place strong emphasis on communication and understanding the direction behind each project, allowing me to make nuanced production and mixing decisions that maintain the authenticity of a performance. Whether I am brought into the late-stage production process, or I am involved from the very start, my goal is to create emotionally impactful work.
As someone who is fully obsessed with music, my musical influences inform a lot of my work. I am particularly drawn to productions that combine 'found sound' textures, focusing on creating atmosphere and texture. Producers such as Liam Howlett, James Blake, Catherine Marks and Yosi Horikawa have influenced my appreciation for space, dynamics and experimental processing within immersive sound design.
I primarily use Ableton Live within my workflow for production, however I am confident in operating most DAWs, alongside a range of high quality plugins and processing tools for sound design. Alongside audio production, I am also developing skills in video editing and digital content creation. I am confident in recording, editing, vocal processing, mastering, arrangement and sound design.
Through both academic and independent projects, I have continued to develop experience across music production and collaborative creative workflows. I have worked with a range of artists and peers on a variety of production-based projects.
