Flute Concerto II - Christopher Rouse

Interstella (original soundtrack) - Hanz Zimmer

Over the years I've gotten into making field recordings. I think it started one afternoon when I decided to stick a couple of condenser mics in the front garden. 

Philip Glass - Akhnaten

Hindemith - Orchestral Music (5CD Boxset) 

Hindemith - Complete Orchestral Works  

Messiaen - Complete Orchestral Works (CD1, 2 & 7) 

Bowie - Blackstar

This is the first time that I've seen Nik Bartsch and Ronin perform live and they're simply amazing! The band have a zen like concentration with Nik orchestrating the performance from behind the piano, which he plays like a man possessed.

I've been pitching for several film projects this month, one for an up and coming war movie and the other for a horror/thriller film. 

Baltazar Benitez - Music of Astor Paizzolla

Joe Pass - Unforgettable  

Holst - The Planets  

Penderecki - Viola Concerto, Cello Concerto No.2

Copland - Works for Piano Vol.1

Sometimes an opportunity presents itself that’s just too good to miss! The SE-R1 is a great ribbon mic and so affordable you should buy one today!
