DAIS II from christian ammann on Vimeo.
I was asked to produce the music for this film written by the wonderful Annakin and directed by Christian Ammann, the Swiss photographer and film-maker. Dais II is a fashion film promoting Irish fashion designers and is a collaboration between Christian and stylist Sonya Lennon. The project showcases successful Irish designers and was shot on location in Bantry House and environs, Co. Cork. The soundtrack was composed by Annakin and produced/mixed by me.

Annakin: It’s A Sin(gle)
Tags: Annakin, Icarus Heart, It's A Sin, iTunes, Mastering, Mix, Pet Shop Boys, Production, Switzerland
Posted in : Media
The second single from Annakin’s chart-busting album Icarus Heart is out now, our cover version of the Pet Shop Boys’ classic ‘It’s A Sin’. Is this the toughest production I’ve ever worked on? Maybe, just maybe. Sheer love for the original song and a desire to make this version special, taking in Annakin’s wonderful voice, unique style and hybrid electronic/orchestral sound meant that there was plenty to consider! We’re thrilled with the result though and hope you will be too. Check out Annakin’s website here, or race straight to iTunes and make the purchase you so richly deserve here. Let me know what you think…

Annakin: Icarus Heart album out now!
Tags: Annakin, Dimitri Tikovoi, Icarus Heart, iTunes, Jono, Jono Buchanan, new album, Production, Second Skin
Posted in : Media
Annakin’s third album, Icarus Heart, is now available for download through iTunes. Produced through last summer, it’s another collection of wonderful songs from Annakin which Dimitri Tikovoi and I variously twisted and warped, enhanced with real and electronic elements and liberally enhanced with as much creative freedom as an artist can give a producer. I produced 8 tracks of the album and this one, Second Skin, is one of my favourites. Check out Annakin’s website here, whilst the album can be downloaded here. Let me know what you think.

Annakin - The Trooper from dasoffice.ch GmbH on Vimeo.
Annakin’s new record ‘Icarus Heart’ is due out in January and the first single from it is called ‘The Trooper’, which is now available for download right here. This time, Annakin collaborated on the album both with me and with Dimitri Tikovoi, famous for his work with Placebo and Sophie Ellis Bextor among many others. Dimitri’s production work on ‘The Trooper’ is great and the video, directed by Christian Ammann showcases Annakin’s gloriously unique image. Read what 140dB’s management have to say about the release here and, of course, check out Annakin’s website for further release details and gig dates. You can do that here.
