An audio restoration project I have been working on Michael Howard: A Choral Pioneer has now been released and is available online. This CD is a restoration of choral recordings made at Arundel and Ely Cathedrals by the Renassiance Singers and Ely choristers under the direction of Michael Howard fifty years ago. As well as having the recordings denoised and tidying them up I have returned to the original venues to take acoustic measurements to improve the quality of reverberation on the recordings. I believe that this is the first time that impulse response measurements have been used as part of the restoration process.  

Last year saw the release of Pianthology performed by Nicky Losseff. These recordings, which were made in the Rymer Auditorium of the Music Research Centre at York, are to accompany a collection of contemporary piano pieces published by UYMP.  I was engineer and editor.

The two most recent large-scale recordings I have worked on as engineer were made in York with the producer Roger Marsh:

Pirrot Lunaire (2007)
“so skillful is the performance, and so atmospheric the recording, that any reservations soon dissolve” - Gramophone

Ulysses unabridged (2004)
 “it will be hard not to see this as the quintessential audio against which all other serious talking books are measured” – The Guardian
 “a stellar production and accomplishment, and will certainly impress the scholar and audiophile alike” – Audio Publishers Association

I have worked for a number of labels and clients including Touch Music, Naxos Audiobooks, NMC, Sabres of Paradise, NMC, Herald AV and UYMP.
