A mini-interview series for the Pivotal Arc release on Whirlwind Recordings
#16 in the series is producer and audio engineer/tonmeister David Travers-Smith!
David has been an integral part of nearly every recording of mine over the past 20 years. His focus on clear and transparent sounds and attention to detail is remarkable. He is also an ideal collaborator as his calm and engaged demeanour are an asset to any situation. A true tonmeister!
