Ian Walker’s Summary
I love music, play guitar, as well as several other instruments. I record and produce music.
Favorite authors include Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller, Alan Moore, and Al Burian. I probably like comic books too much.
Ideally, I would love to work on music for the rest of my life. I love making records, but I love running a PA at a good concert as well.
I also love computers, and have found myself to be very proficient in technical support for Mac OSX.
Ian Walker’s Specialties:
ProTools, recording acoustic guitars, recording drums, live concert mixing, audio branding, Mac OSX, technical support for Adobe Creative Suite
