James Bacon's experience as an engineer, producer, composer, songwriter and pianist means that artists recording here are assured of a careful and open-minded approach to the recording process. As there are so many variables, from the choice of programme right down to each artist's performance style, it is essential that these are taken into consideration from the outset to achieve the best results.

Some programmes require an intimate and lyrical sound, others are naturally dramatic and brilliant. It is during the time between inital setup and recording that the programme will be discussed in most detail.

James is happy to explain the possibilities for engineering a recording and to listen to the views and aspirations of the artist.
