This was followed by the seasonal EP '6 Christmas tales...'. A new album 'The Rise and Fall of Responsibility' was released in the Spring of 2008 also to rave reviews. In Autumn 2008he has released another seasonal EP; 'Rhymes for Rainy Days'. In August 2009 he released his third album 'Time is a Wound'! To read reviews click HERE!

Hi Matt,
Yet another great production job mate. Sorry I haven't in touch. Things have been a bit mad at my end of late. How is your knowledge of studio acoustic design?
Cheers
