Dayward Productions

Dayward has been going since early 2006. With an manifesto to create music for people to dance to it has created a indie/electro hybrid which is unique. They started live shows in February 2008. Now ‘Dayward Productions’ has been set up in order to pitch our tunes to commercial Tv and advertising companies. We both have our own digital recording facilities at home where we can record live instruments such as guitars, vocals and strings. We also have a range of keyboards and synths for added dynamic range. For drums we either manipulate samples, loops or create drum patterns via programming. We have the ability to mix and master inhouse too.
