Biography
Biography: Welcome to the biography page.
In this section you can find out information about Ivery Music the company,
and Tim Ivery the person.
Ivery Music: Ivery Music is an independent
record label formed in 2002, which although is currently concentrating on the
promotion of Ivery's music, eventually will branch out into developing other
acts who share our vision. It is our intention to pull together various forms
of media and make use of the new opportunities for creativity that are emerging
in the new digital age
The People: Team Ivery is made up of people from various
disciplines some of whom have had a great deal of experience in the record industry.
From intellectual property law to marketing to media creation and manipulation,
almost everything at Ivery Music is done in house.
The Facilities: The majority of recording takes place
at Ivery Studios. Based around a 64 track digital multitrack setup the majority
of our work is done in the digital domain. The mixing desk is by Soundcraft,
and we have kept an ADAT facility for the sake of compatibility. Microphones
are by RODE, Shure and AudioTechinica, and there is an adequate selection of
outboard processors from Lexicon, Alesis, Behringer, Digitech and TL Audio.
The main synth workstation is a Kurzweil K2500X accompanied by a Korg and a
Yamaha.
Live recordings are still run onto ADAT and then transferred into the PC for
post production. Principal work inside the computer is done in Steinberg's Nuendo
with an RME Hammerfall and a couple of RME ADI Pro AD/DA converters, and the
wave editor of choice is Sonic Foundry's SoundForge.
Video Manipulation is done with a couple of SGI workstations and our beloved
and heavily modified Amiga 4000. (She's still going strong after all these years!).

Tim
Ivery: Tim Ivery was born on June 26th 1976 in England. Tim and his family
moved around a lot throughout the world before eventually settling back in the
UK in the winter of 1988. In the summer of 2001 Tim gained an LLB from one of
England’s top law schools and is currently pursuing a PhD in Intellectual
Property Law. Music has always been a major influence in Tim’s life. From
a very early age Tim was listening to everything from Bill Haley and the Comets
to Rachmaninov.
As a musician Tim is completely self-taught, and although Tim has said that
the piano will always remain his main strength, he has taught himself to play
the guitar and a whole host of other instruments along the way. Tim started
song writing in his early teens, and has continued to develop his craft, drawing
on influences from every genre of music that comes his way. Over the years he
has gained experience in production and engineering and met a few influential
people along the way in and outside the music business, some of whom are working
with him now on Ivery Music.
