Andy O'Neil Music / Wayward Compass Studios

After 9 odd years working as a musician and music producer in London UK, I’ve recently re-located back to Perth, Australia. I spent 8 of the London years renting full scale music recording studio’s, and have recently changed tact a little. I have now setup a great production studio in my home in South Perth, and have a couple of fantastic studios in Perth that I can “dry hire” (for very reasonable rates) as an engineer/producer for projects that require a larger environment – ie recording drums, or full band recordings. Without the constant burden of a heavy studio rent I feel much freer to take on projects that inspire me, whilst still having access to the bigger rooms when required – or when budget allows.

My personal role in the studio varies from session to session. I’m often busy producing music as an artist myself, co-writes/production for other artists, as well as bespoke music composition for sync. I started my studio life working as a session musician (guitar/bass) – which, although less common nowadays in this fast-changing industry, I still do from time to time (either in the studio or I can easily record remotely). I also thoroughly enjoy taking on the producer/engineer role for artists/bands for full scale recording/production/mixing for singles, EP’s and Albums. There are some examples of my work as a composer/producer/mix engineer and session musician here. I am very fluent in Pro Tools and Ableton DAW’s, and have spent many years honing the craft of music production, mix and engineering.

As a producer I’m interested in working with talented artists and bands to help realise their creative visions. Feel free to get in touch with any enquiries.
