Music CV
My music experience is wide and varied, with over 14 years of experience in music tech and live instrument scenarios, and with broad cross section of compositions and collaborations. I am fluent in many software based studio environments, and have a good understanding of Cubase, Ableton, Reason, Wavelab, and various other software, vst instruments and plug ins. I find it easy to pick up and learn new applications, and have a confident range of basic teaching experience, through my one to one workshops at New Deal For Musicians, my music educator course, and in my home studios. I enjoy making both live and electronic/dance music, and have a fairly broad understanding of arrangement, composition, recording and production of many genres, Aside from working on my own and with various musicians in my own home studio, I have also played in bands, and have basic keyboard, guitar, bass, percussion and vocal experience. I also use binaurul microphones for location recording and am interested in using what i do to inspire and collaborate with others.
