    I met Alex when he was touring with KSE in Europe. Very sweet guy. I was doing FOH for the support band "Heretoir". Had a great chat about the horrible venue acoustics haha. Local technician wasn't very cool so having Alex around at FOH improved the vibe a lot. Also, amazing mix he did for KSE. Absolute class act (the rest of the crew aswell, mons let me tap into Jesse's in-ear mix which was so fun!), hope to meet him again someday!

    Met Alex at a Periphery show in a venue I've mixed before. Blown away. Really made me consider my approach to that room in the future. Great guy too!

    The intro is pretty cool. I noticed it a couple minutes in. It was like the minutes leading up to an eclipse. And the synths gave it an eery feeling.

    Haven't heard Alex mix but have heard nothing but great things. Love his approach, minimalistic and similar to myself doing rooms where you're finding work arounds for mic bleed and compromised balance due to what's coming off stage. Ronnie came through my venue in Brisbane and def made our V rig sing. All the best, cheers.

    From what I gather, if a failed guitarrist stays in the industry it is as a guitar tech
