Marcus Holden Australian Fiddler  

Recording

I began my recording career at the age of 11 when the Canberra Children's Choir recorded at EMI Studios in Sydney. I'll never forget the thrill of working in a controlled acoustic environment and the pleasure of creating music that was for ever. I've lost count of the number of recording sessions I've been part of. They number above 500! I bought my first Multi-track machine in early twenties having spent many weekends of teenage life recording with school friends. My knowledge of recording has come directly from session experience. Increasingly, I am asked to record tracks for clients who sends me MP3 or Wav files via email and I can return the completed tracks via YOUSENDIT or other files transfer methods even DVDs or CDs in the post. It's a great way to get a performance from someone far away... though we all still love the magic that only happens when we are all in the same space at the same time.
