Gilberto GillSome of my recent achievements are:
- Recording engineer for vocals on a cartoon pitch at C-Tracks (www.c-tracks.tv)
- Directing the TekFen symphonic orchestra to play over a film live in front of an audience of 3500 people at the Grant Opening Ceremony of the IUCN Congress held in Barcelona on the 5th of October.
- Additionally, under the group name Kerr, I've fully produced and co-written a 25 minute sound track for an NGO called Antinea (www.antinea-foundation.org) based in Switzerland which was performed live with an 8 piece band. This was last shown at Barcelona Maritime museum.
I am fluent in music terminology having been classically trained as a double bass player during my residence in Spain. I'm also a bass guitarist mainly playing function gigs and running open-mic acts in North London.
I'm skilled in music production tools using Cubase and Logic (pc and MAC) although I have a preference for relying on external outboard hardware such as synths & samplers, EQ, FX and compression for my sound. My IT skills are of professional engineering level with a specialty in networks, thin client technologies, and web site design and deployment.
