The work
By the time a record reaches me, it's the work of people who have been doing this for years. The job is to lift a production, elevate the character of sounds, and create the alchemy when sounds blend and breathe together.
Sometimes that needs a bit of distance. From out here, with fresh ears and the right room, it's the most interesting work I can imagine.
Jardin Acoustique
Why not come and finish your record in Duras, Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Jardin Acoustique is the creative retreat Greta and I created: an 18th-century farm estate with walled gardens and a pool. You stay in the 3-bedroom guest house and work next door, in the music room, with me - for as long as your record needs.
The food is good, the wine great, and the evenings long. You'll leave with a finished record and a story about how you made it.
The music room
A 60 m² room with high ceilings, natural light, and views across the valley - frequency, phase, and time aligned, optimised with a Trinnov system, so you accurately hear everything in the music.
The result is a record that works across all systems: headphones, club speakers, or a phone. The same quality sound, wherever it is played.
Much of what I mix, I master too. The room is sharp enough that nothing gets second-guessed in the handover.

It holds personal weight, as it coincided with one of the most difficult periods of my life, when over the course of fifteen months I was my mum’s primary carer through terminal cancer. I met Isobelle at the beginning of this […]
