Description

I am looking to relocate to Berlin, from Belfast, N.Ireland

I am a music producer with over twenty years experience writing and performing in a variety of music styles. Currently I work as a freelance composer and sound designer for theatre. By night, I am the sound engineer for Cabaret Supper Club, Belfast. Creating original music is my true passion. Over the last ten years I have gained experience and worked in a variety of creative roles, from composer, music producer, sound designer, to more technical roles, such as post-production editor, audio programmer, musical director, sound technician and sound engineer. I was recently awarded a Masters with Distinction in Sonic Arts and previous to this I received a BSc First Honours Degree in Music Technology at Queens University Belfast. In 2003 I gained an Audio Engineering Diploma at SAE London.

On January 1st 2011 I started "Song A Day For A Year", this was a completely self-motivated project where I wrote an original piece of music every day for a year. Along with all the experience I gained, honing my production and songwriting skills, as well as the technical skills of engineering and mixing, I was also working to strict deadlines, time managing, organising and directing recording sessions with a variety of Northern Irish musicians and songwriters. In 2012 I expanded on this project, with Song A Week For A Year, which was funded by the NI Arts Council's Artist Career Enhancement Scheme and mentored by Moving On Music.

Since completing these projects I have worked with a number of professional companies, such as Warp & Woof, Score Draw Music, Accidental Theatre, Primecut Productions, DU Dance and UTV.
