Not only a man of leisure, Simon recently travelled to Europe to represent Sound & Motion Studios in a whirlwind of studio visits, film expos, mixes and meetings. In between visiting world famous film/mix studios such as Pinewood and De Lane Lea, meeting top engineers and visiting bad-ass music studios (and mixing Lark tracks!) here's what he's been up to.

Sound & Motion Studios Biggest Upgrade, like, EVER

Hi all, here's some info on our most ambitious upgrade since we opened for business late 2002.

Recording "The Plastics" at Sound & Motion Cape Town.

Monday 3rd November saw the beginning of what promises to be a long and thoroughly enjoyable relationship with "The Plastics." Having been lucky enough to record and mix for many fantastic rock bands, the first thing I came to realize when watching the boys live was how vital it was to capture that live energy. The first day was spent setting up in such a way that the band could all be in the same room for the core recording process, feeding off each other just as they do at gigs. Sure enough, by the time we did our first round of scratch takes, we were tracking solar flares of energy, prompting Matt (senior engineer) and myself to mutter such cliche's as "I love my job."
