I am a musician, sound artist, producer, singer, cyclist, songwriter.

TheBigRecord:UK

I set out to discover what the UK sounds like.

I cycled almost 5000 miles – to every region of the UK to capture the sounds of people and places. In addition, I asked people to send me sounds from their lives.

About me...

 

On the hunt for inspirational locations, I have written and recorded music in locations around the world. On the tops of mountains, to deep underground, old places, new places and even underwater, from pill boxes to ice caves, the Australian bush to the Grand Canyon… 

My two solo albums; 'Just For The Record' and 'Just For The Record Too', have both been recorded on epic cycling trips whereby I carried 45 kg of recording equipment and instruments over 6000 miles.

My latest album 'Just For The Record Three' Will be written and recorded on 12 worldwide adventures.

My first ambitious trip took me to the four furthest points of mainland Britain covering over 2000 miles.

I recorded in unusual places such as Clearwell caves, Ardnamurchan lighthouse and a pill box as discussed on

radio 2 with Jeremy Vine.

Inspired by the success of the first album, I took on a marathon 4000 mile tour of Europe calling at cheese related destinations to write and record my second album ‘Just For The Record Too’.

My surname is genuinely ‘Cheese’ so for fun I thought it apt to stop at destinations such as such as Edam, Gruyere, Gorgonzola and Camembert. En route I recorded in inspiring places, such as from the tops of the Alps and Pyrenees

as well as mixing and recording distinctive sounds. 

I have recently launched the start of my third solo album, ‘Just For The Record Three’

which I’m writing and recording in a series of cycle missions – the first was completed in April 2018.

It was the 25th anniversary of the Forum music venue in 2018 (one of the UK’s leading grass roots music venues) so to celebrate this I cycled 1650, to capture and create the first track for my latest album. 

To me, music and sound is everything. I invite you to take a listen to my albums and journey.

The Sound of Kent, The Big Record

The inspiration for TheBigRecord:UK

‘Is there a sound you love or find interesting?’

 With the help of BBC Radio Kent,

I asked the people of the county to send me the sounds in their life. 

These sounds to create a song/video/installation.
