Recent Projects:

We've added this page which tells you about some of our most recent projects and gives you a link to a website or email contact if you want further information about the CD.

• Chloe and Jason Roweth: "Daisy Hill". A fine CD of real Australiana played by two of Australia's favourite folkies. We mixed and mastered this one.
• Jack Sammon: "Those Droving Days". An extraordinary look into the history of Australian droving and early outback life by a fair dinkum drover. Jack's voice is gorgeous, rich and deep. Recorded, mixed and mastered by us.
• Ben Scott: "The Sydney Cove Project" . This is a really interesting and beautiful look at early Colonial times drawing from the language of both sides of the racial fence. Mixed and mastered by us.
• Graeme Johnson "The Rhymer From Ryde" . This has some startling variety including a stunning poem written by Graeme called 'Faces on the Wall' which is a great favourite of mine. Mixed and mastered with a little bit of recording thrown in.
• Orpheus Music (Zana Clarke and Peter Biffin): "Lyrical Passions" . If you like the Baroque period, you'll love this CD. Zana's recorder playing is nothing short of stellar and she's wonderfully supported by Rosalind Halton on Harpsichord and Caroline Downer on viola. Mastered by us.
• The Spooky Men's Chorale "Tooled Up" which is an extraordinarily cheeky CD which matches their performances to a hilt. Mastered by us.
• One that's about to be released by Silvia Entcheva which is a beautiful collection of Bulgarian traditional masterpieces sung by Silvia with some help from Mara Kiek, Jarnie Birmingham and Silvia's two daughters Chanelle and Isabelle (aged 4 and 8 respectively). The CD is to be called "If I Were A Bird". Expect it to be released early to mid December and launched at the Cygnet Folk Festival in Tasmania in early January. This CD was recorded, mixed and will be mastered here at BMS by us.
• We've done a bunch of music for Feral Media including music of our very own Greg Seiler who is also known as 'Comatone'. Feral's music is a great collection of authentic Oz electronica with a mixture of other avant garde genres and really worth a look. Danny Jumpertz and Caroline Chishom are doing a great job promoting young Australian players and composers and they really deserve your support. We master virtually all of Feral's work here and are proud to do it.
• Producer Roger Corbett at The Valley Studio is one of our regulars too. Check out Rog's website to see his recording facilities in the lower mountains. Roger has a wonderful habit of bringing all of his work in to us for mastering.
