Sound Recordist

I’m a location sound recordist based in South East England. Building on my background in radio and studio work, I have all the skills and knowledge to record production sound for docs, branded content, commercials, and corporate videos.

My work also covers narrative drama, field recording, music and on-location voiceovers.

I own a comprehensive location sound kit, which includes field recorders, boom microphones, radio microphones, headphone monitoring, timecode boxes, portable acoustic treatment, and more.

I have my own transport and am available for work across the UK and abroad.

I have worked on content for: BBC, Netflix as well as an array of clients in diverse fields.

David Shrigley's Pulped Fiction

SOUND RECORDIST + SOUND DESIGN + MIX

The documentary (directed by Jay Bartlett) follows 'Pulped Fiction' a project by visual artist David Shrigley, who has produced a limited run of 1,250 copies of George Orwell's dystopian novel 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' made entirely from the pulped remains of unwanted copies of 'The Da Vinci Code'.

The film was screened at Volcano Theatre in Swansea and will be available online soon.

Extra Extra Radio - NTS

EDIT + SOUND DESIGN + MIX

The Extra Extra Radio Show is a radio series broadcast from an undefined city, located out of the corner of your eye, one click to the left of reality. A city that harvests and powers itself on the pheromones, lust, hankerings, pent-up needs and desires of its denizens. The show is a guide to this city, with each episode exploring a different aspect of life there. The host of the show, Michael, speaks to an array of guests, inhabitants of the city, about work and play, love and loss, and the mysterious ways they have found to negotiate the erotic energies that sway their lives.

Credits: The show is written and performed by Dan Fox and Michael Portnoy in close collaboration with Loes Verstappen who selected the music, and Monte Masi. Voice acting by Dan Fox, Michael Portnoy, Monte Masi, Thomas Dudkiewicz and Loveday Smith. Editing and sound design by Tobias Withers. Drawings by Fiona Lutjenhuis.
