Music
Music has been the constant passion alongside twenty years of design work. From strategic roles in an online radio station or starting an independent label – all the way to releasing my own mixtapes and tracks. Here's a selection of what came out of it.

Music Services
Beyond my own releases, I take on a small number of music projects a year — usually because the brief is interesting rather than because the budget is.
Guest mixes
A mix built for your show, label or series — selected, sequenced and recorded properly rather than thrown together. Tell me the slot, the length and the mood, and I will work to it.
Remixes
Send me the stems and what the track means to you. I work in my own register rather than imitating a current sound, so this fits best when that is what you are after.
Creative consulting
Twenty years of design work applied to the parts of a music project that are not the music — positioning, artwork direction, release planning, and deciding what to cut.
