I just finished work on two tunes with Lisa, “I’ll Let Go” and “Swallows”. Very much from the alt-country/folk stable, with a beautiful voice and a lovely way with words, here’s the first tune “I’ll Let Go”.
For a little more detail on my work with her, you can read all about it here. Enjoy.
After eighteen months of work, the new SAND album is finally here.
SAND is the moniker for solo undertakings by North Atlantic Oscillation frontman Sam Healy. I’ve known Sam for a long time, and I have been involved in all three of the North Atlantic Oscillation albums. I’ve also worked on both SAND albums. We have both grown together as “technologists”, always bouncing ideas off each other and pointing each other in the direction of new sounds, plugins, artists, writers… Continue reading →
This is a clip of me playing some guitar for the track “Berceuse”, from the upcoming SAND album “A Sleeper, Just Awake”. It was recorded by Sam Healy (of SAND) in Whitespace on one of his visits.
Toward the beginning of work on the album, Sam and I met up both in Edinburgh and Dublin to trawl through ideas for new music. Many of Sam’s initial sketches had deliberate “Pete-shaped gaps” left in them for me to work within. This is the result of me populating one of those gaps.

Here’s the video for the radio edit of Mount Street Bridge, taken from Fiach’s album The Revolution.
So I’ve been mixing Michael Gormley’s upcoming album and the first single has made its appearance. Here it is over on the tube of you for your delectation.
Here’s Michael listening to what just might be the final mix for “Bet You Wish”. He brought round the final outro guitar parts this evening and we dropped them in; he’s been using Guitar Rig 5 for tones and we had a good chat about the pros and cons. Continue reading →
This latest tune from Tell No Foxx is pretty amazing, dark yet catchy. Really enjoyed mixing this, so many interesting things going on.

Three years in the making and it is finally here! I’m extremely proud of this, I worked as producer on the album with Simon Quigley and with Fiach himself we put a lot of hard work into it.
From the early days going through Fiach’s demos and taking them through the exciting and sometimes painful preproduction process, it was always a labour of love. Much fun was had and we all learnt a lot along the way.
Here are some snippets, do check them out. I’ve also got a profile page set up over here.
This is one of my favourite songs on the first SAND album. Sam recorded the tracks using Sonar, and we mixed the album by having him bring his laptop over and connecting the video and audio outs to my setup, allowing me to mix with my monitors but using his set of plugins exclusively. This way he had the option to “undo some of my cleansing” as he put it!
Anyway here it is, enjoy.
