I am currently working on an Album project with Stroud based singer David Ireland, the album is called Cosmic Glue. You can find out more from my work blog at:

I was recording a drummer called 'Alan Tocknell' who makes beautiful and stunning sounding drum kits. To keep the 'techie nerds' happy and as an informative post I took a series of pictures to show how I set up the microphones to capture the sound of a drum kit. These photo's were taken quickly mid session in a dim studio so although they are not 'great' pics in themselves I think they communicate the information well. I think this is a very important area of photography.
