Studying a range of instruments over the past twenty years and adopting these skills to a variety of situations, from live performances and teaching, to composition and studio recording. Having a keen interest in the nature of sound, and more specifically to the emotive qualities of music and sound, he has inevitably led to further development of these skills more specific to sound design and film scoring.

Sean currently lives in Melbourne with his partner and six year old son.

Adrian Booker - Website Design & Behind the Scenes Camera
AJ Booker figured that if Stuart Simpson could get his arse into gear and make a full length feature film with no money, then AJ could buy some cameras and a computer and learn how to film, edit, photograph, tweek, manipulate, design and make websites. If you are reading this then perhaps he succeeded!!
