Mixing & Mastering

The two dark arts – Mixing & Mastering. If you hop over to YouTube and punch in those words alongside ‘tutorial’, be prepared for the wall of content and overwhelm to hit you hard. While I enourage anyone to learn a new skill, sometimes we just don’t have the time, and you want to get on to your next album. Hiring a Mixing or Mastering Engineer is a great way to ensure the best quality for your work and give yourself time to create!

Mixing & Mastering are two very different stages – each demanding their own set of skills and techniques.
You can book me for either or both of these services. Included is unlimited revisions, a bespoke mix/master to cater to your needs & artistic tastes with affordable pricing tailored to your project budget.

Composition

Debussy once said “Music begins where words are powerless to express”. In most media, we are confined to only two senses – sight and sound. While modern day cameras and well trained actors can provide stunning performances, they cannot carry the experience alone. Music provides the context for the actions we see unfold on screen, deepening the viewers connection to the emotions portrayed in the story.

This is where I come in. As a Composer, it is my responsibility to ensure the directors or developers vision is fully realised through the medium of music – and that requires communication, an iterative process and trust. My background allows me to cover a wide variety of genres, from hybrid orchestral scores to delicate violin accompaniment, I can adapt to your artistic vision and bring your project to life.

Sound Design

Who here liked the sound of the seismic charge bomb in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones? How about the ‘silenced’ pistol of James Bond? Welcome to the world of Sound Design. This is an important creative decision for your project, as the sound pallete dictates the world it is set in. Ask yourself this question – how do the sounds in my project serve the story?

Whether it’s for a film, TV, Video Game or any other media, I can create unique sounds for your project.
With my knowledge in recording, sound manipulation and technical implementation, I am able to work anywhere from the first concept to final product. For the game devs, I have experience in middleware and in-engine blueprinting for any of your technical requirements.

About
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one.”
William Shakespeare

Hi, I’m Josh! Music Composer, Sound Designer and jack of many audio trades.

I suppose you could say I’ve led many lives, my journey began as an aspiring DJ – I soon realised I enjoyed making the music rather than playing them. This lead me into Music Production, during my studies I’d create and release music under the psudonym ‘Rute B’, which garnered some local accliam alongside honing my skills as my own Mixing Engineer & Mastering Engineer. Outside of the classroom, I would work with local charities as a Teacher, delivering Music Workshops to children and young adults with SEND and from poor socioeconomic backgrounds. Towards the end of my first round of higher education, I discovered the world of Sound Design. Which sent me on a 5 year journey discovering what that world sounds like, specifically in Video Games. After graduating university I worked for a short time as a Live Sound Engineer for a wonderful charity based in Yorkshire, and then landed my full-time job as Audio Enginner at Rivet Games! After a wonderful 3 years working as their in-house audio guy, I decided it was time to part ways and carve my own path out in the industry. Now I work with creatives from a mixture of inudstries, composing music for their projects, mixing and mastering artists work, put my skills of sound design to use in all of my work and pass on the knowledge to future generations as a university Lecturer.

Through all of my adventures, there has been one other constant passion – and that’s storytelling. I think it’s safe to say that storytelling is at the epicentre of humanity, within the tall tales lies hidden truths, and we can discover all sorts of new meanings and perspecitives that can apply to our lives. When working on a project, my job is to discover and uphold the voice of the story through the medium I feel most at home with.

Explore my portfolio to discover the power of sound and music in storytelling, and let’s embark on a creative journey together to bring your ideas to life through the transformative power of sound.
