Read moreMy new album, 'human' is now available. You can listen the track, Risk Love right here - featuring Canadian Laura Cola on vocals and an all-star band, this new album is a record I'm very proud of. Working with Laura has enabled me to experiment with many new styles - all with my own twit of course! - And yes, I do sing on the album too but Laura's voice has been my main focus vocally. The last track on the album, 'Home', will be the most familiar if you have listened to my previous album, Jupiter. Please check it out and let me know what you think! The whole album can be previewed on my bandcamp page, but if you'd like to buy, (expired link) offers exclusive download formats all including full artwork PDFs - you can choose between physical CDs in lovely digipak cases with 12-page booklet, 88.2kHz 24-bit super-high audio resolution download, CD quality WAV download and all the usual mp3 formats.

Dear N1M friends, thank you all for your support this year. Wishing you all a great Christmas & new year.
New album coming soon!
Big love, Harvey. XXX
Thanks so much for following me here! I just wanted to let you know I've just released the first single, "Skeletons", from my brand new forthcoming album, 'Human' featuring Canadian singer Laura Cole. It's called Skeletons and it's a lot of fun! The album is really eclectic actually with styles ranging from Motown to Jazz, Gospel to Dub, even a hint of Hip Hop! Laura came to my attention when she recorded a duet with legendary producer 'Daniel Lanois' who's been a big influence of mine. Once I'd hear that voice, I knew she was the perfect collaborator for this new record I wanted to make. I hope you enjoy it! If you do, please share and tell friends too - we need your support!
The album which features some truly legendary musicians including Danny Thompson on bass (John Martyn, Nick Drake, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Mark Knopfler etc etc!), Steeleye Span drummer Liam Genockey, percussionist Hossam Ramzy (Peter Gabriel, Led Zeppelin) and many others, is available to pre-order now or you can buy the single and watch the video for free at my new web shop (link below) where I'm offering downloads in super high resolution audio as well as CD quality and mp3 downloads, and of course CDs and ultimately vinyl too.
If you choose to pre-order the album, you'll receive the deluxe bundle edition of Skeletons for free and you'll also receive the album at least one week before it's official release!
Thanks for listening, reading and being great people!
Peace, love and music,
Harvey. x

About Harvey Summers
Harvey Summers is a record producer, recording artist, song writer and sound engineer with over 20 years professional, commercial experience. Passionate about originality and innovation in music and sound production, he has built his Broadoak Studios facility around an eclectic array of the finest vintage analog and latest digital equipment. Summers feels strongly that the priority of producer should be to aid the artist in developing their own unique sound, rather than imprinting his own sonic signature on all he touches. That said, his work always shows great care and sensitivity to the emotional intent of the music while seeking new and interesting sounds that are both unusual and sonically pleasing.
Summers’ 20 plus years of experience affords him an extensive understanding of classic and modern recording techniques, he plays a wide range of instruments which he cites as crucial in order to understand the way musicians work. For Summers, production begins with the song, arrangement and performance.
He places particular focus on creating a relaxed, inspiring and creative atmosphere to help artists give their best performances. His Broadoak Studios reflects this philosophy where clients frequently comment on how they love the feel and style of his working environment and know their work is in safe hands.
Over the years, he has developed a number of innovative techniques evident in his productions, which convey a great sense of impact, dynamics and emotionality. He favours mixing by hand on his Raindirk console over mixing in the box as this allows a performance element to enter the mix, which also enhances the living, organic qualities of his sound which is often described as warm and three dimensional.
His extensive collection and working knowledge of vintage microphones and equipment, some of which is custom made to his own designs, add unique colours to his sonic palette. He is also fully conversant with current software and plug-ins including Logic, Pro Tools, RX Advanced, UAD, Waves and many more.
