As you can see, we’re getting him started young! Oliver James Bear continues to grow (at an obscene rate it seems), and as with all babies he delights and tests his parents in equal measure! but unsurprisingly appears to enjoy music as much as his mum and dad…
First third of this year has seen some exciting releases and work for me. The Meeting Tree EP was released, and got some Triple J love – including 2 songs dedicated to Oliver – “Travelling Bear Blues” and “Oliver’s Song (Don’t Care reprise)”! The Stan Walker album (which I did the lion’s share of engineering on) and Gang of Youths albums were released and reached ARIA nos 7 and 4 respectively – particularly great for GoY who got a Triple J featured album as well.
High-tails “Information” got Triple J playlisted (another great achievement for a band on a small label), and the official launch comes early next month. Also excited to be working with Jacob Pearson as part of his development with Sony.
Hoping to have a good number of tracks that I recorded with Example make his album release this year – including the first single, which I recorded and vocal produced….watch this space.
And mixing work continues for other acts, both in Australia (Patra Kay, Kallias Degree and others) and the UK (Jack Robert Hardman)
