Engineer/Musician/Producer
Chris is an engineer/producer that has worked alongside a number of notable artists and producers including Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Death In Vegas, Bat For Lashes, The Cure, John Wood (produced Nick Drake, Pink Floyd), Richard Fearless, Lloyd Williams, Head (PJ Harvey) and Rick Wakeman.
He plays piano, guitar and synths, as well as engineering, producing, composing and mixing. Chris is currently an active and touring member of Death In Vegas playing synths and drum machines.

Retreat is a high-end, boutique tracking studio based in Ovingdean, near Brighton. It has an exceptional range of pre amps and microphones, plus the rooms are bespoke and puropse built for recording so all in all the recordings come out very well which is why it's my first choice for my projects.
