Myles Mumford pushes the envelope of expression in the audio realm. A prolific record producer, engineer and sound artist, Myles refuses to submit to genres, engaging in musical expression wherever he can.
From Avant Garde to Classic, from Pop to Punk, Myles explores auditory art with reckless activity and embraces musical expression without boundaries.
Myles has been producing since the late 90's and in that time has worked extensively across all spheres of music and audio creation including record production, music and effects for film, music and effects for theatre, location recording, concert production and more.
He is well known for his musical and collaborative approach to recording, and his ability to create a sense of presence and space. Myles’ productions can be heard across Australian radio and a wide variety of streaming services and regularly receives critical acclaim in the form of featured singles, featured albums, or album of the week in a variety of contemporary media.
In 2012 - 2013 Myles volunteered for 12 months in Swaziland for Lusweti - Institute For Health Communication and Development through Australian Volunteers International. During this time Myles produced two weekly one hour radio shows on the National broadcaster SBIS, worked with local builders to design and build a recording studio, developed radio content, trained local staff, collaborated with the Swazi Community Radio Initiative, produced several albums of local artists and his productions featured in the Swazi Top 20 every week for more than a year.
In 2014 he spearheaded the formation of Rolling Stock Recording Rooms in Collingwood which has quickly become an incredibly active hub of music making.
In addition to producing and engineering, Myles is a multi-award-winning composer and performer. He has composed for concerts, theatre, contemporary dance, with his work being performed by and for ensembles such as The Glass Percussion Project, the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Onomatopoeia Ensemble, The Tasmania Clarinet Quartet, and Textor, among others.
Myles has also performed as a musician with ensembles including BalletLab, Swiss Australia Collectables, Melbourne Underground Orchestra, Textor, and The Glass Percussion Project. His music can be heard regularly on 3RRR, PBS, 3MBS, ABC Classic and Radio National.
“Myles Mumford is the producer of “My Script”. It wouldn’t have happened, or at least happened the way it did, if it were not for him.
I met him a while back when he was the producing The Key of Sea volume II to benefit the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre and Human Rights Arts and Film Festival. I collaborated with political commentator and media star Waleed Aly on one of the tracks. Myles looked me up about a year later proposing we work together on an album. We met and I played him a bunch of sketches.
He immediately had ideas about them and importantly they were ideas I liked! Since then we’ve had about 20 sessions stretched out over nearly a year. We’ve become good friends over the course of things. I’ve subsequently learned that practically everyone in the Melbourne music community knows Myles and says he’s a great guy.”
