EP30 - Andy Hall Hall “Compression, Colour-Coding, and the Portfolio Career” with James Gillespie, Kygo and Bastille
This time our guest is Andy Hall Hall - a Music Producer / Songwriter / Engineer, working out of his studio in Battersea, South London. He started his career as a guitarist & vocalist in bands, but soon turned his interest to production after co-writing The Other Tribe's summer hit song 'Skirts' in 2012. He’s worked with some massive artists including James Gillespie, Bastille, Griff, Kygo, & Fickle Friends. He produced the majority of James Gillespie’s debut album ‘Safe’, including singles ‘What You Do’, and ‘Beyond Today’. To compliment episode 25 (Cameron Gower-Poole), we get the perspective of another vocal producer; Andy has recorded vocals for Kygo, Griff, and Two Another, as well as the Marshmallo ft. Bastille smash hit ‘Happier’. We talk compression, recording on tour, the 00s UK port-hardcore (read: emo) scene, and colour coding your regions. The Process of Production is presented by Lawrence Diamond and Bob Matthews. Lawrence cut his teeth playing and writing in Indie bands before finding international success and touring the world with his band CITIZENS! During that time he worked with a host of revered producers including Liam Howe, Mark Ralph and Alex Kapranos. Since the band ended in 2016 he’s been using that experience to help other artists develop their careers as a writer and producer while continuing to release his own music under various different guises. Bob learned his trade as the producer and multi-instrumentalist in Electronic Pop duo Alpines, whose career spans 3 albums, releases on major and indie record labels, shows with Florence + The Machine, The xx, Emeli Sandé, and a top 20 hit 'Tidal Wave' in collaboration with Sub Focus. In recent years he has turned his focus to producing other acts and has a studio in Chiswick in West London.
