About me
I am a Leeds Beckett University Graduate with an undergraduate degree in Music Technology. In attaining this qualification, I enhanced my knowledge and understanding of musical theory and the practical implementation of music technologies. I have also developed skills in communication; networking, sound recording, sound design and live sound and visuals which I believe make me suitable in undertaking this job role.Currently undertaking a MA course in Sound Design which has furthered my knowledge and understanding in this field which may be beneficial to your company.
I have done soundscape compositions for various short films and Foley recording, editing and mixing for animations.
I believe I am well-connected within my local music industry and have a diverse range of knowledge within both old and modern music. I also have a high degree of knowledge and understanding of various music genres, it’s technologies and implementations. My main strengths are in Recording, Editing, Mixing and Soundscape Compositions.
Additional skills:
I have been attending Celtronic Studios in Derry, on a weekly basis, to increase my knowledge, understanding of the analogue technical equipment and how a studio operates. I have seized numerous opportunities to collaborate with local musicians and artists. One particular highlight was having the opportunity to collaborate with the established ‘Mr C’ developing an Acid House track.
I have also worked for the Belfast-based events company, Shine. My role involved lights operations; sound crew, organising the set-up of visuals and allocating sound systems in various venues across the region. Employment within this field has also generated an interest in audio and visuals and, collaboration with audio visual engineers has also inspired me to develop my knowledge and skills further, hence my desire to undertake this job role.
I also DJ and perform live sets (hardware based) in different venues and festivals across Northern Ireland. DJ’ing ive warmed up for the likes of Marshall Jefferson.

Ethan was a member of our Technical crew at Limelight Belfast, a 1000 cap venue, and The Telegraph Building, (2000 cap). He was involved in setting up the lights, visuals and PA system for our sold-out events in each venue.
During Ethan’s time with us he applied himself 100% to every task given and fitted right in with our crew.
On his downtime and because he had travelled a few hours to get to us for each event Ethan took initiative and asked to shadow our professional light and sound engineers and got a good grounding in the techniques and equipment used.
Ethan was a valued member of the crew and has a job for him any time he wants with us outside of term-time. We wish him all the best with his further studies in this field.
Kind Regards, Dermot McGowan

Reference
“Ethan was employed with us over a course of 7 months in total. He was responsible of preparing a job site, locking up a job site, loading/delivering materials and using various tools and machines. Through-out his employment with EDS in my opinion, Ethan has always showed himself to be a loyal, honest and trustworthy individual both personally and professionally.
In addition to this Ethan is extremely well organized, reliable and self-motivated. Ethan can also work independently and was always willing to go ‘above and beyond’ by putting in extra hours to ensure that his assigned job roles were completed. Ethan was also flexible and willing to work at any point when the site needed extra men to ensure vital deadlines were met. As a result of this I believe Ethan was an asset to the company during his short- term employment and that he’d be a valuable asset to any other company whom he may seek employment for.
I am confident of his steady worth ethic and strongly recommend him.”
