    Welcome back to Episode 12 of Sound Discussion!


    This month, we're diving deep into the world of tape machines with our fascinating guest, Jake Fader.

    Many features that she has scored are available via Amazon Prime. Her music has been used across the BBC TV network and played on BBC radio, and her work has been mixed in major UK studios such as Warner Brother’s De Lane Lea and Twickenham Film Studios.
