Josh Trinnaman
Hi, I'm Josh. I produce, mix & release my own music independently and talk about how I do that here.
I aim to help others do the same by providing practical tips & insights that I would've found really helpful as a DIY artist when I was first starting out, including creative sound design and production techniques, live setup/performance tutorials using Ableton, and much more.
As my alias Luo, since 2012 I've released & gigged extensively supporting bands and artists including Venetian Snares, Death Grips, Battles and more, I'm probably best-known in the UK Experimental Music scene. I grew up on IDM & Breakcore, Drum 'n Bass & Jungle, Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Jazz Fusion & Prog/Post/Math-Rock, Metalcore and more - mixing these influences together in my tracks.
Mentored by mix engineer Chris Allen, I also have extensive experience mixing professionally for established artists such as RY X, Calibre and others on Polydor, Sony BMG and more, as well as for grassroots artists & smaller projects.
I have some new music out.
