My current CV (PDF)

I have been working in sound production since around 1995 and see it as the combination of my interests in music performance, electronics, audio systems and physical science. By sound system I mean professional systems in public spaces, rather than home theatre systems and the like. Much of my work over the past few years has included installing and operating temporary sound systems for music, theatre, and corporate events. My skills cover system operating (mixing etc.) and also technical production aspects such as radio system and comms management. It is very rewarding to achieve smooth clear sound reinforcement for a complex musical ensemble, but I sometimes find the most personal satisfaction comes when a simple human voice is able to be heard with clarity and warmth in a large hall through careful amplification.
Hearing is sound, to take a cue from the perennial question: "If a tree falls in a forest..." I am taken with the idea of sound as an organic thing, that has been worked and molded by the environment it passes through before arriving at the ear drum.
Much of my work currently includes operating audio for TV production at Channel Ten in Melbourne. I still really enjoy getting out and working on live sound gigs for music and theatre, especially the lower-key, community-minded events.
Having had various involvement with church sound systems over the past decade I occasionally assume something of a advisory role for church and community-related groups looking at investing in sound equipment. My article Technology in Church has arisen from a splurge of thoughts I started to have several years ago on helping people avoid mistakes. My mantra in system design goes something like: Keep it as simple as possible. Make it the best quality possible.
As a sound operator, I don't own much gear personally, preferring to hire what I need, according to the needs of the job. Hiring makes sense usually because hire companies generally keep their equipment up to date.
