audio engineer from the glasgow area, professionally trained in multitrack recording and daw re-editing to industry standard, in the final year of my diploma in sound production with Stow College, being tutored in-house at Riverside Studios, Busby, Scotland.
Mad about the electronic dance music genre and its everlasting ability to re-evolve itself to different variants...
My influences are reflective of early years as a hardcore raver which chilled out a bit when i started working in pubs n clubs all around the south coast of gran canaria, i got involved in the club set up and was hooked on sound, done so much partying around the island that i lost my job which came with accom and had to come home skint. I came home which was oban at that time and set up some great beach parties with my good friend Robert, those warm chilled out summer nights on the beach were unfortunately forced to come to an end as too many people were coming and neighbouring residents were getting concerned.
I started the Orillasound project in 2005 as an internet dj project, recording home and party mixes with my cd decks and making them available to stream online. i was always jealous of the artists music that i was mixing, so the project moved forward into the production of my own dance music starting with very basic loop editors and soft sequencers, now i am using a combination of recorded audio, multitrack recording, midi controllers and soft synths, im working on bass and drums for future productions,
My music has attracted over 1/4 million listeners since the project started with last year (2008) being the busiest, all on a shoestring budget, visit my website here www.orillasound.co.uk if you want to know more....

hi:) how are things? have you seen the new gadget? http://www.kerchoonz.com/kbox we just had a crew in filming it in action here today at the studio. How's it all going? Have you finished your studies and things?
Glad to hear your new stuff is coming along well. I have had a good day in the studio myself. GOT LOADS done, AND another song nearly boxed off on the album. As you say, here's to progress ! x
