During the last 3/4 years I put a great amount of time and effort into music technology, I completed my BTEC in Music Technology in 2010 with a triple distinction and since then i’ve worked on numerous small projects and worked as an Studio Engineer at a pro recording studio for a small amount of time, but then I realised making what I loved a job put a great strain on my love for it. Since i’ve taken a step back from my music, but i’m still working on small projects as a hobbyist you could say, once you get involved to the level that I did you cant really step too far back from it without missing it. As well as music i’ve always had interests in other forms of media; video, photography etc, but i’ve never really had time to take part in them, but now with the extra time i’ve got I thought i’d throw myself into some new projects, the main project been life and everything within it. Ooh before I forget i’m not a photographer, a director, a music producer, i’m not a ‘pro’ anything i’m just someone who really enjoys technology and the opportunities it gives us. Hopefully this will be the start of something really enjoyable for me and the people that happen to see it. new TWTR.Widget({ version: 2, type: 'profile', rpp: 4, interval: 30000, width: 200, height: 300, theme: { shell: { background: '#ffffff', color: '#c8c8c8' }, tweets: { background: '#ffffff', color: '#c8c8c8', links: '#a6a6a6' } }, features: { scrollbar: false, loop: false, live: false, hashtags: true, timestamp: true, avatars: false, behavior: 'all' } }).render().setUser('JonathanTowey').start(); Tumblr (3.0; @hurricane-media)http://hurricane-media.com/<p>I’ve recently started a project with a good friend of mine, were working on an album.

I spend a lot of time in here creating music, editing photos, making videos, watching tutorials on how to improve my skills in different areas, and a little bit of DJing too.</p> <p>Over the years its become my sanctuary from the real world, I love everything inside it, its all part of my creative process.</p>http://hurricane-media.com/post/11068478706http://hurricane-media.com/post/11068478706Wed, 05 Oct 2011 15:27:00 -0400Studio SetupMusic ProductionPhotographyVideo EditingDJ SetupApple
