- If I were to begin life again, I would devote it to music. It is the only cheap and unpunished rapture upon earth. ~ Sydney Smith

PJ Palomaki
Music Producer and Artist PJ Burnhill embarked on his musical exploits
at the age of 8 when he picked up a trumpet in efforts to silence the
noise his younger sister's violin practice produced. He enjoyed playing
the trumpet, drums, piano and guitar through the next 5 years, but it
wasn't until he was given a PC with basic music production software
called a '
Tracker' that he got excited about the possibilities of music
production with computers and the software within them.
After years
of being involved and working with other producers in the 'tracker
scene' and releasing a catalog of some promising, yet basic pieces he
invested in music production software
Logic Audio and moved from Trackers to
MIDI and Audio
production. Currently his tools of trade are the trusty Apple's
Logic
Pro, Native Instruments
Kontakt sampler and stack of other hardware and
software to boot.
PJ finished his
(HND) Music Production studies at
University of Brighton, UK in 2004
and his skills include Music Production to video and other media, Drum
Programming, Sound Design, Recording & Mixing.
He has worked on various projects, including DVD music production for
Spring Harvest,
Salvation Army
and
Newfrontiers. PJ is currently working for
Fruitmedia Ltd. as music producer in various projects.
PJ loves jazz and his all-time 'respect' award goes to
Chick Corea,
phenomenal jazz pianist and composer. Corea worked with
Miles Davis and
his
Return To Forever -albums and '
My Spanish Heart' are something to remember.
