'Success'!

Northampton College contacted me to see if I was interested in appearing in an article on their website, as I have been successful throughout my education. I was happy to be involved and wanted to give their current music technology students an incentive to continue their higher education like I did. It was great to go back and see all the improvements they've made to the college, and meet up with my old teachers and let them know how I was getting on at University.

Showreel

I've finished my first attempt at a professional showreel. I'm pleased with how I've put it all together and think the music and imagery tie in well with each other. It's just a taster of film I'm pleased with so far, accompanied by a song that I mastered.  

Here it is!...

(Or alternatively, the Showreel can be viewed here.)

Soundcloud and Showreel

Over the past few months, I've been accumulating pieces that I have produced or worked on. This is a selection that I am most proud of and hope to show to prospective employers.

I am also currently putting the finishing touches to my Showreel and Portfolio and hope to post examples of these ASAP.

Interactive DVD and ADR

This is a small extract taken from an Interactive DVD I created. The DVD was an instructional piece aimed at college A level students hoping to begin a career in the recording industry. 

I filmed the DVD, appeared as a presenter, recorded the ADR using ADR Studio and edited it all in to the footage. I also created the packaging for the DVD. I'm not entirely happy with the quality of this video, as it was taken from the DVD itself and needed to be converted, resulting in some compression. However, this is something I will know how to avoid in the future!

It's official...

Degree Show

The degree show was brilliant, to see what everybody in the faculty of technology had been producing was lovely! I was proud to be a part of it all and to have the chance to display everything I had been working so hard on for the past year. It was an important part of the graduation process for me, and I put a lot of care into the presentation of my product. 

It wasn't just a celebration of finishing my studies, but a chance to gain experience at networking with other people from the industry and talking at length about products I have created. During the show, someone bought one of my EP's, which I wasn't expecting, so that was a lovely surprise! I also met some great people that I have kept in touch with and will hopefully work with in the future. 

Recording Finished!

Finally the recordings are all finished and now I have plenty of time to mix before I have to press the CDs! The last recording session went better than all of the others, we managed to get one great take after one great take and I came home feeling very positive about the end result.


This meant that I had a final track list to give to Milli, the graphic designer, to work with ready for the CD stencils. Today, I have also ordered the CD sleeves ready for the designs to go on - can't wait!
