STUDIO SESSIONS WITH HER AFFINITY @ TALL POPPY STUDIOS
This is a behind-the-scenes look at a recording session with Her Affinity at Tall Poppy Studios in 2016. The clip captures moments from the tracking process and the studio environment. It highlights the workflow, collaboration, and creative decisions. These elements shape a recording session. A snapshot of real studio life and the craft of capturing performances in the moment. These are the moments that never make it onto the final record, but are just as important to the process.
Love Anarchy – CALLEN WHITING OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
Rarely do I get the chance to work with such great talent! In this project I had the honour of producing the track, and then the clip aswell! Albeit a team effort with both myself and Callen working on the project, it was amazing to work on this project over the last 12 months or so. Callen approached me back in March 2024 to see if I was interested in producing his debut single and film clip, and I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity! I really liked the track, and we worked hard to make it translate with good energy , and produce somethiing that we’re both really proud of. Check him out at http://www.callenwhiting.com!
Tribute to Billy Birmingham’s “The 12th Man” Now Released On Youtube!
This is a heartfelt tribute to the legendary 12th man, Billy Birmingham, and his hilarious legacy. Inspired by our own Queensland Churches XI team, plays a one-off match against a Sri Lankan touring team! Inspired by 20 years of National Carnivals and the camaraderie amongst our players.
Written and scripted by Errol ‘Ekka’ Steinback, and produced, mixed and mastered by Nathan ‘Woody’ Woodrow, we’ve poured our hearts into this and hope it does justice to Billy B.’s humour. We’ve both loved every moment of creating this over the past 3 months, and if it brings even one smile to your face, our mission is more than accomplished. Enjoy!
I’ve always been inspired by creating things and working with people to realise their dreams.. Sometimes they become my dreams and visions.. whether its working on their record, designing a graphic or a website for them, sometimes I just can’t help myself..
Working on my Soundcraft 3200 console was a true privilege, and a daily occurrence for more than 10 years at our Salisbury studio.. Very cool!
I’m currently undertaking a Bachelor of Digital Design and Interactive Technology Majoring in Graphic Design at the University of Southern Queensland. I’m currently in my 4th year, and hoping to finish by end of 2026. I’ve had to do it part time for the past few years, as Im back working a full-time gig as a travelling sales rep which makes study a little more difficult, to balance against work and creative projects!
For those of you that know a bit about me, I used to own and operate a Recording studio in Salisbury which had rehearsal rooms, and a commercial recording studio “Tall Poppy Studios”. For quite some time there it was a well known hub for musicians all over south east Queensland, and touring musicians interstate and international.
Our facilities were often used by some really well known artists such as Seal, Violent Soho, Glenn Matlock, Katie Noonan, Karise Eden, Judah Kelly and many more that I can’t even remember.
In late 2019, after 10 long years at Salisbury, and 3 years before that at Sumner Park, I made the difficult decision to close the doors and move on… For many it was a complete shock and seemed to come out of nowhere.
In many ways that was true, however I had been living with the reality of the changing landscape of the Brisbane music scene for the last few years, along with having to run the business solo since 2017, after my business partner left the business.
I’ve had many people including current and past clients that have asked me to share the story, and the circumstances around how it all went down. It’s quite a complex situation to reconcile, however I’m currently putting together my thoughts together, and will post about it soon.. watch this space!
