seeking clarity, punch, and creative direction
A short compilation highlighting mixing work across different styles
I’ve been mixing records in Melbourne for over 15 years – everything from heavy rock to indie to electronic. For me, it’s never just about making things loud or polished. It’s about finding what makes your song work and pushing that forward. Clarity, punch, emotion – whatever the track needs.
Whether you’re a solo artist tracking in your bedroom or a full band coming off tour, I’ll treat your music like it matters. Because it does.
When I’m not mixing, I’m teaching. I’ve spent the last decade lecturing at Collarts, helping students understand why things work – not just which buttons to press. That’s what got me building these tools. I wanted to give people a way to actually learn compression, not just copy settings from a YouTube tutorial.
