Location Sound Recording

Trained in both composition & audio technology, I can offer superb and transparent recordings of live concerts, as well as on-location audio for interviews, podcasts, theatre and dance shows, installations or other creative and experimental projects. I particularly enjoy recording outdoors and my equipment is built to work in rain, humidity and strong temperatures.

I use world class equipment by Neumann, Sennheiser, DPA, Rycote and Sound Devices as part of my portable kit.

Rates & Contact

I am able to offer competitive rates as I build my portfolio.

Mixing & Editing
With great microphones in the right place, not much post-processing is needed - but some styles of music or audio will call for it, and sometimes a little love and attention goes a long way. I've got the skills and equipment to do simple editing and mixing jobs, but would otherwise recommend getting in touch with Dan at Encoder Sound who has great ears and equipment for exceptional mixing work on your project.

About Me
I became interested in sound recording on-location through working on my own music, both collecting field recordings & improvising in-situ. I consider the recording process as a composition process, rather than simply one of documentation, and am fascinated by the challenge of capturing the atmosphere, energy and spatial elements of performances.

As well as having studied Composition & Music Technology at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, I've accumulated experience over the last 4 years making documentation for the experimental music scene: the record label Tone List, as well as events by Outcome Unknown and Tura New Music. I have worked on projects presented at Perth Festival, Wild Freo, Summer Nights, and Cool Change Contemporary, and released on labels Tone List and Edition Wandelweiser Records as well as self-releases. My field recordings of Dryandra Woodlands are  exhibited in the conservation space within the park, Barna Mia.
