Last night I got to watch these 4 legends launch the Anna Smyrk album after a long and emotional journey.
Incredibly grateful to have been trusted with the roles of Producer / Engineer / Mixer.
Anyway…here’s the end of ‘Garden Variety Grief’ from studio to stage ⭐️
Thank you @apraamcos for such an incredible 100 year celebration last night. Congrats to all involved including @francoistetaz and the incredible house band.
Involuntarily jumped out of my seat when @peterrgarrett came out on stage 🖤 🥁 #apras

Coming up to breathe to make special mention of the 3rd MPEG (@mpeguild ) Awards which took place last week in Sydney.
In a mammoth effort from the MPEG team we managed to pull together a pretty great awards ceremony.
All of the winners were so deserved and I was proud as anything to see Annika (Alice Ivy) take home the coveted PRODUCER OF THE YEAR award. The first woman to ever do so.
Thank you to the wonderful members who made it such a great vibe on the night and the industry reps who got a small insight into what I see - an incredible community full of exceptionally talented people.
Thank you! 🖤

Happy New Year folks!
In 2026 I’m ’slow reading’ War and Peace with some of my dearest friends. A chapter a day, every day for 361 days.
I hope you have dreams as big as mine 🩶
Congratulations to all involved in every record that won or was nominated for ARIA Award last night.
Especially to @missyhigginsmusic who took out Best Adult Contemporary Album for the record I helped produce and had the absolute class to thank the producers, engineers and mixers who worked on the album with her. 🙏🏽 @bbbadlove@nao24db love + respect ✊🏼
I feel like I’ve only been mixing lately and photos of that are really boring, but actually there’s been a lot of bushwalking, running, gardening, tobogganing, traveling and avoiding international politics in there too. Some select cuts included…
