My baby is coming to life!! While i try to keep this audio focused, my project is something where I'm wearing many hats, well pretty much all hats starting with the idea for a song through to its release. I'm so stoked with how its coming along and wanted to share some BTS pics from the shooting of the Etna On Fire film clip from the EP.

Started mixing The Way Down today for my St*****rs From Mars EP. Second last for the EP. This song is a sleeper!! I think it's my fave St*****rs song.

Haven't posted many vids or updates lately. Sorry about that! Had to take time off for surgery but starting to get back to the mixing 😁

Ninox - Tiny Cracks In My Earthy Heart. Hauntingly beautiful and mesmerising. One of the most beautiful things, both song and sound, that you will hear this...well, ever. Do your ears and earthy heart a favour and listen to this one: https://open.spotify.com/album/4Y1QQ6pPtVTe1BZ0Q0o7ja

One of the coolest songs in existence!! The repetition is GOLD!! But what really makes it is Palmers mastery of subtle changes, short fills, subtle changes in the structure, sublime accents - masterful lesson in songwriting and making the most of a gold idea! Dig in and ride it out, baby!!

Big BASS! The Split Bass Method - Part 3: Bringing the bass together!! In this final video, part 3 of this 3-part video series, I go through bringing the sound together and what I do to get the bass sitting in the mix with the guitars and tight with the drums to produce the St*****rs From Mars rhythm section.

Getting a big bass sound - tight, full bottom end with nice attacking mids, can sometimes be difficult to achieve, especially with rock or heavy music. Add some pedals, like overdrive, and it can be even more elusive.

At the core of the St*****rs From Mars sound is the bass! Nathan utilises a Zac Wylde overdrive fed into a Mu-Tron III pedal before it hits his Aguilar DB750 tube head! This allows the bass to act as a pseudo rhythm guitar as well as bass, holding the fort with the drums to give the guitars complete freedom to do as they please! But, capturing that and making it work on a recording to sit in the mix with the drums AND guitars needs the split bass approach.

It's FUN! But its a LOT - We only hear about the good stuff. We don't often hear about the journey and whats involved. Or what a hard slog it can be.

Being an independent musician and audio engineer who produces their own music IS really fun and rewarding. It gives creative control over all aspects of the song and complete artistic expression as envisioned by the artist - the song itself, how it sounds, how it feels, all of it. Whats in my head IS fully what you hear.

In the end it gives such a strong sense of pride, connection and achievement in your work. It also comes with its downsides. It takes years of commitment and dedication to get to that ability. And that's just the warm up! All the puzzle pieces that go into the production of a song, and then an EP, requires attention and focus and time - and a MOUNTAIN of work. And there is no one to pass the buck too. Swapping hats from songwriter to musician to engineer to producer is no easy task. It took over 25 years to build these skills and I'm still learning everyday. But it's so empowering and fulfilling.

In this video I talk more openly and honestly about what its taken to create this EP and my own personal challenges in doing all of it independently.

Stay tuned for the upcoming St*****rs From Mars EP.

Project management. Organisation. They are not dirty words! Many creatives don't like these things but they are ultra important on larger projects like this with many moving parts! This sheet was inspired by the great Devin Townsend and I give you a run down on what it was and how I used it for my St*****rs From Mars project. This works for individual creatives working on their own projects or working on bigger projects with a team of engineers.
