Hi - I'm Ben! I'm a bassist, music fan and producer with over 6 years of experience specialising in rock, punk, indie & acoustic music.

As cheesy as it sounds, I believe the producer's role is to capture and preserve the energy of human performances when recorded, using arrangement and the studio as an instrument to enhance this and deepen the song's impact on and connection with listeners. I try create a relaxed environment for artists to be themselves in, and since I hate boring, sterile productions I'm always open to trying out odd ideas!

I started Longwater Productions in 2021, after spending a year working for UTM Studio CIC (Dutchavelli, Real Artillery) and a year of 1:1 tutoring and hands-on experience with Grant Henderson at Loom Studio (Noel Gallagher, Calvin Harris, Stereophonics). I now have exclusive access to Loom for my sessions!

I have a background with music theory and can arrange vocals, string sections and piano parts (when needed). I occasionally run live sound for local venues such as Boom, The Underground, and The Rookery, and write/perform original music with Mood Organ.
