<p>I recorded this album in Senegal in my friend's living room on my 10 year old laptop, a 15 year old version of Cubase, and the cheapest drum mics I could find.</p><p></p><p>25 people lived in the compound including screaming babies and goats but despite the settings and resources, I had amazing local musicians join this recording journey. An album is a journey. You write the songs, arrange them, arrive in the studio (or living room), hopefully prepared and the recording is followed by an intense process of mixing, editing and accepting. Often followed by a tour where you get overexcited by the mass printing discounts on CD quantities and end up with boxes of albums left, which you over ambitiously weren't able to shift.</p>

I love recording. Creating something that could last forever gets you completely in the zone during that process. I'm very happy to offer my services to the community. 25 years ago I was a heavy metal playing 14 year old with only attitude and no technique or theory but that year I joined and went on tour with a Zimbabwean Chimurenga and Sungura band. Since then I've been lucky enough to have performed on every continent and worked with masters of so many genres whose guidance has influenced my bass playing. While I'm no longer available for any heavy metal gigs, if you'd like me to record bass on your album, single, or demo, I will take impeccable care and precision to ensure my groove locks tightly in with all other instruments and supports the track to sound the best that it can.
