Love of
Audio Recording
-
I developed my love of
sound
recording in the 1970's when I started multi-part audio recording
of my own
performances by adding new parts with a microphone whilst
"bouncing" sound between an old, Reel-to-Reel and a cassette
recorder. I later progressed via stereo to 4-track cassette, 8-track
reel-to-reel, 8-track cassette and, finally the current top-notch, 24-track
digital
hard disc recorder set-up. I love to keep learning about and practicing sound
recording.
Recording CD's
-
Over
the years I have recorded CDs for
brass bands, silver bands, string quartets, country bands, Jazz
bands, gypsy swing bands, Guggenmusik bands, rock
bands, spoken voice, sound FX, musical shows, choirs, etc in
recording locations that include pubs, clubs, front rooms, theatres, town halls, village
halls, lecture theatres, churches, school halls and my home studio. As a sound
engineer covering
live sound and SFX, I have worked with live theatrical productions, stage musical shows,
school productions and band performances of different types.
-
For
5 years I did audio recording through my full-time business
(Dr Jekyl Mobile Recording Ltd - a Limited Company) but due
to changing circumstances the business ceased trading on 30
September 2011 and I now offer my services in the evenings
and at weekends as a private individual.
Sound
Engineer and Performer
-
For over 30 years I have written, played and recorded music with the band ‘Trace’ and also played
guitar or
been sound-engineer for ‘Turnham Green Blues
Band’, and the live show bands ’Underdog’ and ‘Fusionz’.
-
I am the guitarist, lead and backing
vocalist, occasional bass guitarist, sound and recording engineer,
technical guru and Musical Director of
Premium Banana - A Popular party Band and Wedding
Band
-
I
have been a
Musical Director
for several of the
Community of
Hungerford town shows including
Happy As A Sandbag,
Salad Days, Scrooge, Carousel, Blitz! and Oliver!
-
I also
perform on stage and have been
involved in theatre and stage musical show productions, both in singing and non-singing
roles. In Feb 2010 I played Enoch Snow in
Carousel. In recent years I played
Frank Butler in
Annie Get Your Gun, Wang Chi Yang in
Flower Drum Song, Horace Vandergelder in
Hello, Dolly! and Alfred Locke in
Blitz!. In 2008 I played Clive Debanks, lead
character in the farce "Love Begins at 50"
and in 2009 played Jack Longthorp in
another farce "The
Love Nest". I enjoyed a
brilliant week as Sir Danvers Carew in the
2010
Nomads Musical Theatre production of
Jekyll &
Hyde The Musical! Most recently I played
Maurice (Belle's Father) in the
amazing Newbury Operatic Society production of Beauty & The
Beast which ran in April 2011.
-
I am married to a very
understanding and talented wife and together we have two talented daughters.
-
Why
Dr Jekyl?
-
Why not? "Jekyl and Hyde" is a bit of fun but
deliberately not Dr Jeckyl or Dr Jeckyll or Dr Jekyll to avoid
confusion with troubled fictional characters.
My former company - Dr Jekyl Mobile Recording Ltd -
ceased trading on 30 September 2011
but I continue to offer similar recording services as a private
individual.
