Musician Focus! Niall Sinclair - Sound engineer & mixing. Favourite song: Either ‘Open The Red Door’ or ‘Over & Over’. I think we recorded ‘Red Door’ and ‘I Cry’ in one or two takes - completely live - and the mix was minimal. They just had a great vibe; equal parts intimate and theatrical. ‘Over & Over’ because the opening line is killer. What inspired me to be a musician? The origin is vague, but it was only when I expanded my musical horizons at 15 that I knew that’s what I wanted to do with my life. Bands like Sigur Rós and The Mars Volta played a significant role at that time (before that I was a shredder, playing Dream Theater solos on an Ibanez 7-string with hair down to my waist). Question for Leon: Where DO you get those suits? Sales! I’m always rooting through sales sections and discounted products. Often the wacky clothes I love are clothes no one else is mad enough (or brave enough?) to wear, which ‘suits’ me just fine! #NiallSinclair #LeonKage #GoldenHeart #MusicianInterview #SoundEngineer (at Chamber Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2pbQP_AzGa/?igshid=1khfvfud1c1um
