Among his credits are the recording of David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ album, James Taylor’s first album and three albums for T-Rex. He was also the mixing engineer on the Beatles ‘Hey Jude’ single. In 1972 Malcolm founded Trident Audio Developments Ltd. which went on to become a leading manufacturer of music recording consoles. One of the company’s earliest products was the Trident A Range which became a landmark both for it’s innovative operational features as well as the sound of it’s equaliser. Coming from a background of being a recording engineer rather than an electronics engineer, Malcolm has always designed with his ears rather than a text book and it is this coupled with over forty years experience that has enabled him to develop his own ‘philosophy of sound’ that is his trademark. Malcolm has been designing recording consoles for over forty years and some of the artists who have recorded hits on his consoles include: Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Rod Stewart, Queen, David Bowie and Elton John. More recently, Radiohead, Muse, Dire Straits, Coldplay and Oasis have added their name to the list.
