Tomás's production work:
The Fuchsia band
I produced their song Grá dá raibh featured on Ceol '06, Seachtain na Gaeilge's double CD in aid of Concern, which reached number 1 in the charts. They forgot my credit though... doh!
Fuchsia band album Grá Dá Raibh is available in all good record stores. More info on the blog.
Silver Trail
I produced their new single One Kiss. We tracked the drums in their kitchen, and did the rest in my new studio. See blog for more info.
Animal Rescue
Audio post production for the first 4 episodes, from a total of 6. We didn't do the last two due to time constraints, and were not credited for the first two due to time constraints!
Cartoon
Many mix tweaks, and final mastering for their 2006 album Ban the use of Jazz music. Thanks to Bob for his Jedi PT moves!
Capital of Culture 2005
Original music, sound design and sound quality control for Solas Festival of Light, December 11th 2005, Pope's Quay and Lavitt's Quay. Pictures here.
Stanley Super 800
Mixed and mastered Moonlight EP (2003).
Mixed the album (2004), recorded some of the vocals and played synth on the track Starry. Reprogrammed many of the synth sounds, comped some of the vocals, replaced or Recycled some of the drum sounds, did a lot of editing and some denoising.
Similar work on the 2 hours Late EP (2005).
Forthcoming album: resolved technical issues in Stan's studio, and tracked the drums in Blue Monkey studios. Pictures here.
May 2006: Mixing in progress... just finished the new single "Gate Crashing".
The Roaring Forties
Recorded, mixed and mastered their current CD Swing til you die (2005). Recorded live via desk inserts of the Midas; this gave a very clean and full sound, but it was a PITA. Thanks to Martin Bohane for his patience. This was at The Savoy club, Cork city. I mixed it in Pro Tools at CSN (thanks to Rupert Mac for his help). I mastered in Cubase at madtheory studios. Not much editing at all really!
Accidental
Tourist
(2004) Hand-picked the band for the project and helped choose the songs
for the album from Ray's portfolio of over 100. String and trumpet arrangements; bass guitar; various synths; tablas, tambourines
and shakers; engineered
all sessions, counselled Ray during the vocals and sang all of the vocal harmonies.
The album was tracked in Ray's own space using the newly acquired Amek BCII
console.
femmepop
Margaret O'Sullivan, formerly of The Charms. Produced
and engineered all releases; also played bass guitar and keyboards. Currently mixing Margaret's recordings on her Tascam 8 track HD, and having interesting production discussions via email. I am also playing punk bass lines...
The Sultans of Ping
End credits music for the film "Trying To Sell Your Soul When The Devil Won't Listen", "a tongue in cheek music documentary in association with RTE". It was Scott Joplin's The Entertainer (I think!) performed by me on the madtheory sampled upright piano.
Semi
A Cork rock band, now defunct. Co-produced the album Mervyn in Toronto (2000)
with the band. It was available for download on their website which is no longer
live, but you might find it elsewhere.
Jennifer
Lomasney
Co- produced, played keys and recorded six songs with this
talented Cork based artist. Mp3s on her site. She is has finished an
album with the inestimable Dandan Fitzgerald.
Rulers
of the Planet
I produced the first EP (2003), first working with the band in their
rehearsal room, and later assisting Finny in the recording at bpm studios. Read
a full account here. Finally, he recorded, encouraged,
cajoled and comped Barry's vocals in the madtheory studio. The EP was mixed
with Mick, and a splendid time was had by all.
Grand
Grand (1999) Album recorded, co-produced, co-wrote, mixed and mastered by Tomás. Critically acclaimed with their notorious "spadgification of U2" video for the hit single Brains. Broke up after Tomás left.
Dyno
Catchy catchy Softly Monkey (Single, 1997): engineered (with RMCM), mixed
(with RMCM), keyboards/ programming, remixing. Dave Fanning's "Best Irish
single of the year". The unbelievably complex yet brilliant album is still
being created...
