J - Rec
I am an emerging sound recordist, fascinated by the possibilities of recording as a documentation process as well as a creative one. My main interests are in recording chamber music ensembles, soloists and outdoor or site-specific works, as well as making field recordings, both using conventional methods rigorously, as well as employing creative and unconventional techniques where the situation calls for it. I also have experience mixing and mastering chamber music and field recordings, having an interest in maintaining the character of the space and environment whilst still allowing for a clear and rich home listening experience.
I'm very happy to record for competitive rates as I grow and diversify my portfolio and the range of equipment I have available. Please contact me at josten [underscore] myburgh [at] hotmail [dot] com if you'd like to arrange a booking.

Portfolio
(live music)
Adam Pultz-Melbye, Emilio Gordoa & Josten Myburgh (Streaming). Improvising trio of vibraphone, double bass and electronics, recorded in a flat in Wedding, Berlin.
The Happy Girls (Streaming). Recording two folk singer/guitarists performing entirely acoustically at Cool Change Contemporary in the Perth CBD. You could record this with many more microphones - this is my more simple documentation setup that I bring to shows I organise, but you can hear that the balance between guitar and voice is very good. The quirks of the room and the space are left in the recording, which I think is how this group would like it.
Breaking Waves (Streaming). Ten-piece new music ensemble of voice, acoustic and electronic instruments, recorded at St Paul's Church, Mt Lawley.
orphans (WAV, unedited / BandCamp Stream or Download). Free jazz trio of trumpet, drums and electric guitar, recorded at Paper Mountain, Northbridge. This one is unedited to exhibit the raw audio, but this could be improved with some mixing!
(interviews)
Interview with Temporary Autonomous Zion (Streaming Video). I did the (phone) video and high quality audio for this interview feature for my label's website.
(field recordings)
Dawn at Wilgadjny (a.k.a. Dryandra woodlands). (Streaming). Beautiful dawn chorus in Wandoo woodlands in the South-West of WA.
Hydrophone recording of the Derbarl Yerrigan (a.k.a. Swan River). (Streaming). A lot of shrimp activity under the water.
