I make records for extremely talented & creative people who are also very nice
(based in North Freo) It was a good life.

About me…
I spent a fair proportion of my formative years playing air guitar on a tennis racquet to Billy Joel, blissfully unaware he was in fact the ‘Piano Man’ - also we didn’t have a piano in the house, so the air guitar seemed like the next best option. I remember some time around my eighth birthday, my mum bought me a quad cassette of BJ live in New York, a pawn-shop special / no-branded / ch

erry-red ‘Stratocaster’, and a p.o.s amp that I would imagine to have been no more than twenty five bucks. And oh boy, you’d better believe it played and sounded exactly like a 100 dollar pawn shop combo, but to me it was a turning point - all of a sudden I had my ‘Excalibur’ and I knew that great things were to follow from here on out. Jump ten years into the future where I began my tenure as the frontman of ‘Red Jezebel’. I remember the first time I heard our song on the local radio, and the first time on the national broadcaster a month or so later. Its hard to nail down and define that particular feeling of elation - it only happens the one time, the first time, then it’s soon put to the side and replaced by an overwhelming desire for more. But you never get that same one back, just variations and iterations along the way. From that point, I quit university to go on tour for what seemed like a decade. Chasing the dream, although I’m not sure what particular dream it was that I was chasing, I was just ecstatic to be on the journey - that was what mattered most to me, and to this day, it still does. After another ten years or so I joined up with ‘The Ghost Hotel’, writing alt-country bangers, winning J’s unearthed, on tour with much, much bigger bands in stadiums and on festivals. Still chasing the dragon, song after song, wanting to out-do myself at every turn. Moderate success seemed enough to satisfy the monkey on my back and I was still working day jobs to save up as much as I could to spend it all on musical misadventures. All in all, music has been a fickle mistress for the most part - always there, nagging, drawing me away from the responsibilities of an adult life, or a “professional” career like my brothers either side of me would argue (finance and banking - snooze fest), but in all honesty, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Presently, I am 25 years deep into a ‘career path’, working within and across the WA music scene in any and as many forms as I can find time for - performance, song writing, collaboration, live & studio production, broadcast and everything in between. Nowadays, I comfortably label myself as a producer/engineer without the imposter syndrome that seems to always come with the territory. Tiny Music Recordings is my legacy effort to help others in conjuring and capturing those moments and feelings I experienced way back in the day, and covet dearly - forever grateful.

A yearly reminder to:
1. BUY INDEPENDENT MUSIC from platforms like bandcamp.
2. GO WATCH LOCAL BANDS perform live, bring a friend, pay the door fee, buy a beer or two to keep the venue alive as well.
3. BUY MERCH to put your dollars directly in the hands of the artist. Music takes money and time to create, and both have a price tag on top of every other expense in our daily lives.

This year, at least 54 women across Australia have died due to violence.

WA’s rate of family and domestic violence incidences increased by 20% between 2018 and 2021 and WA recorded the highest number of offences in 30 years.

Of all Australian states, WA has the highest rate of reported family and domestic violence-related assault offences against females.

Refuges across WA are overflowing and have to turn women and children away daily

Family and domestic violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women and children in WA

The number of calls from single women to the Entrypoint homelessness service have doubled in the last two years.

The closure of the Safe Night Space is unacceptable and represents a significant and preventable step backwards in WA’s journey to drive a change in culture, behaviour and attitudes that lead to violence against women. We call on the City of Perth to keep the Safe Night Space open.

Please take a moment to sign your name to this open letter:

To the City of Perth Lord Mayor and Councillors On 25 November 2023 we marked the beginning of the 16 Days in WA campaign. Over these 16 days we have the opportunity to take a good look...

The Rechabite ceiling looked pretty cool, admittedly.

Ehhh, the universe has thrown me a wild card this Saturday.

On one hand, the joyous , whom I've been having a f**king fantastic time working with, is playing stage at 6:30pm.

On the flip side, my band of super f**king talented gypsies are opening the night at from 6:20pm

I wanna push both shows because theyll be equally amazing, but obviously there's only one choice...

Stay at home and binge watch Midnight Mass on netflix again.

When you know, you know.
And then, you loud.

Here is a photo of Dallas bringing some emotional damage into the light - this was a particularly close and personal moment for everyone in the room.
We all knew we were making something pretty heckin' special here, even if it was only going to be two and a half minutes in length.

And as it turns out, this moment was felt across the hallway in the as well after .tondut admitted to throwing a mic up in the hallway outside our room to capture and sample a little sliver of this moment for their own piece next door.

You may also notice an xyz mic setup in this pic that reeeealy captured both the space and her glorious intensity & delivery.

I'm glad we did weird s**t and even happier it paid off.

Goddamn that was a great day ❤

Day 3 dream team:

and lil ol' me.

Seriously tho, everyone involved in this project are heckin' champs and the love is real from me 💯

I am only now waking up to the realisation that the week of ArtsiX production is finished and I'm actually sad about it.

I got to create and collaborate alongside these three Queens of Aus Music: Dallas Frasca Sparrows and Madeleine Antoine

This has been one of the most fun and creative weeks of my career and i find their talents and dedication overwhelmingly inspiring.

Thank you, ladies - You've made my heart warm
❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘

As a disclaimer - I am in no way making a political statement by posting this image because there is no real honest political debate to be had around it - and I won't be engaging in it if a debate presents itself anyways.

If, while reading this, you happen to be one of the people in the no camp - that's okay, dont let it get you down. Everyone is entitled to make their own mistakes. It's how we learn and grow, together.

Anyway, I'm going to try get down to bBurswood for this one on Sunday and hopefully I will see a few of you there ❤️

That awkward moment where you and your client disagree on the exact phrasing of the liner notes...

- blah blah and penmanship
- smashy smashy
- ti**le d***s
- chops n jangles
- fartwoof

Took a night off, went boating.
Tired now.

06/07/2023

Bit by bit, this joint is feeling homlier.

02/07/2023

We're finally finnishing the album

25/06/2023

I like plants amidst my cables.
A studio without plants is not a place I would ever want to work in.

25/06/2023

Tracking done.
On to mixing...

10/06/2023

I had the pleasure of recording one of these beauties today.
Holy heck, I need to get myself a Brady snare in here permanently.

20/05/2023

The ceiling clouds are in... finally.

F**k me that was a mission.

03/05/2023

My listening space has increased by quite a square footing. I must admit, it's a whole new thing for me, having been in a fairly controlled small space for so long.

I'm enjoying the openness of the space. Old mixes sounding good in the room. Smashing a few favourite albums - width and depth are certainly eccentuated a touch but in a comfortable way.

With a bit of treatment here and there, I think I'll enjoy working and mixing in this building quite a lot. 🥰🤘

I built a custom piano dolly!
