I had the pleasure of recording, mixing and mastering some live performances for the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival’s digital programme, which were released last month. A pleasure to work with incredible emerging talent in the Scottish Jazz scene.
Here are a couple of the live sets, the rest can be found online.
Half Formed Things Live from Leith Theatre
In December I had the pleasure of working with Half Formed Things on their latest live video, shot in one of my dearest venues, the legendary Leith Theatre. I handled their live in-ear mixes, playback programming, and tracked the performance.
Edwin Maclachlan handled the post mix & master, in addition to his drumming duties, Sam Jones the lighting design, Sandy Butler the video capture and edit and Lewis Milne on photographs.
TPI did an article on the production
SHHE mini Scottish tour
Last week we went out on a mini tour of Scotland to celebrate Su Shaw’s debut album ‘SHHE’ released on One Little Independent records. At our Edinburgh and Dundee shows we built a quadrophonic set up, experimenting with creating an immersive live experience to which Su’s dreamy synths lend themselves well.

A MAZE Berlin
This week we took a research trip to the a-maze-ing (ha) International Games & Palyful Media Festival situated between Friedrichshain & Kreuzberg at the incredible Urban Spree.
Researching interactive and playful media disciplines and how they can engage the user/audience for the Immerse project with Luci Holland and Absolute Classics.
There were so many fascinating nooks and crannies to explore and a full programme of industry speakers and live music.
