Avatar of Gareth James

Hey!

My name is Gareth James, and I’m a sound engineer/music producer, web designer/web developer, and digital content strategist from Hitchin, Hertfordshire. I offer an array of technical and creative services, all executed to a very high standard, and with a personal and friendly touch to boot.

I’m always excited to work with new people and businesses, so if you’ve got a project that you’d like some help with, I'd love to hear from you.

    ‘Heads’ album cover by Snack Cube

    Today sees the release of SnackCube’s debut album ‘Heads’, mixed by yours truly at Freakyleaf HQ. Featuring 8 tracks of genre-spanning electronica, SnackCube’s unique story telling prowess makes for an intriguing and compelling musical adventure. So who is SnackCube? From the man himself: I’m James, a man who is approaching middle age with all the elegance and grace of a burning Ferris wheel. I make music without respect for genre, with a focus on progression and evolution. My recent work has explored the language of instrumental dance music and how that can be used to communicate narrative and imagery in ...

  • ‘Heads’ Back From Mastering And Release Date Set

    ‘Heads’ album cover by Snack Cube

    I’m very excited about this one – I was very honoured to be asked to mix Snack Cube’s debut album, and even more excited now I’ve heard the tracks mastered! I spent a good amount of time towards the end of 2018 with Snack Cube at Freakyleaf HQ working on a sound for his tracks that satisfied both my needs for clarity and precision and his needs for a ‘homegrown’ and ‘organic’ vibe; we both collectively agreed that that what we came up with between us ticked all the boxes. The completed mixes were then passed over to Katie Tavini, ...

    Studio setup at Freakyleaf Studios

    It’s been a long time coming but I can finally let the cat out of the bag (or should that be the tracks out of my computer?) – my debut album “The Boy That Did Not Exist” has made it through the mix stage and is now ready for mastering. Although having started recording in 1999 (yup – a whole twenty years ago) it wasn’t until last year that I really started to make a concerted effort to tie up all the loose ends. I then spent considerable time re-recording all vocals, bouncing tracks to tape and back into my ...

CSS Tags With Outlined Borders

Posted on in Web Development.

I’ve just updated my online web development CV and made use of a tag-based system to display the various roles I took on for each of the projects. I was after a very specific look, whereby tags are both shaded (filled) and outlined. Screenshot of my online web development CV, demonstrating the use of CSS tags. A quick scan online didn’t produce any immediate solutions, so I decided to roll my own. The usual method of drawing complex shapes using CSS relies on pseudo elements. There’s a great post on CSS Tricks that details the many shapes that can be ...
