The first time I sound engineered a gig was just over a year ago. Was a very happy mistake, the week before I met Joel, drummer of Papa Nui. I was very new, but very interested in the world of live sound engineering; I had both motorsport engineering and classical music skills, however I didn't know which way to go. I expressed to him live sound engineering seems like something that interests me. Before that day, (aside from orchestral music) I had been to at most 5 live gigs in my life, and seen one sound check. I asked Joel if I could come watch the sound check and see how thing's are set up. I think a game of Chinese Whispers occured, and by the time I got there the rest of the band assumed I was THE sound engineer. I knew the faders make things loud and quiet, and the gain makes things even more loud, but that was it. The rest I had to figure out on the fly. I made it work, and fell in love. As someone with engineering tendencies, a musical ear, eldest of 4 and love making things happen, I think I was tailor made for this role Between April & August I only had 3 other sound engineering opportunities, however from August I met the promotor for Its All About The Music, and the gypsy jazz musicians at the Isis Farmhouse. They gave me regular experience and from then I've always had atleast 2 gigs a week, the regular experience I needed. I'd say Port Mahon & Isis Farmhouse are the venues that gave me the most invaluable experience In between live sound engineering, I've also started foraying in studio sound, playing weird and not so weird music, sound recording for film, event organising etc. I feel whilst I see myself a few years down the line as a full time sound engineer, I have other skills which I think is important to continue nurturing. I'd also like to get back to looking at my previous engineering skills, which for me are using CAD software and the fabrication of parts using composite materials. I felt the urge to post as I feel like this opening chapter is coming to an end, and I'm transitioning into the next. What the next chapter entails, I have no clue. But I'm really looking forward to the ride. Thanks to everyone who helped/watched me grow 🌱

Collapsing Shelf 02 out now! Continuing the zine-like sibling label with the raw, anti-perfectionist bent, this is a wonderful room recording of Imperceptible Clouds live at @improvsgreatesthits ’s show at Café Kino in Bristol last year… Imperceptible clouds are a weather dependant improv collective riding the line between Bristol, Oxford and London. Their unpredictable live sets bring in elements of quantum physics, space appropriation, jazz electronica and freedom, wrapped as hypnotic and sometimes humorous always unique performances...

On Saturday 15 April, I had the honour of being a part of a group of musicians who performed Imperceptible Clouds 001 at @portmahon_ox . This was an abstract collaboration between @renewableurea and @ox_improvisers . Such an amazing experience and I'm looking forward to engage in future projects with David, Oxford Improvisers and Imperceptible Clouds 002 Many thanks to @renewableurea @ox_improvisers @bluenotevessel @miles_afolabi @perdjonabel @jimenezmorenopablo @eddiek400 @juliusmuraga

Very much enjoyed looking after the sound for @isiscityrockers tonight, playing at the Isis River Farmhouse just outside Iffley, Oxford. Main speakers were being moody but we got them to play ball in the end. Very cool seeing Ray at the back with his headless carbon fibre bass.

Thank you Joel, drummer of the Papa Nui band, for inviting me to the sound check and letting me do the sound for tonight's gig. Looking forward to hearing trippy beats from Papa Nui and @thedeadbeatapostles tonight at the Handlebar, Oxford
