Early life and education

Corrie was born in Nottingham, England. He spent his early childhood in Miraflores district of Lima, Peru, where his father worked. Corrie studied the piano from a young age, and was introduced by his older brother to sample-based music, including Portishead and the Propellerheads. [7] He completed the Tonmeister degree at the University of Surrey.

After graduation, Corrie took up a placement at BBC Scotland in Glasgow, where he worked as a sound engineer until 2016.

Light of the North was recorded and produced by Corrie himself, and mixed by Paul Savage at Chem 19 Recording Studios. It was nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year Award in 2013. The album artwork is by James Houston, a frequent collaborator of Corrie's, particularly in Polybius, a short for Channel 4's Random Acts, which Houston directed. Corrie produced the single "I.D.L.U" by Bdy_Prts, a project by Jill O'Sullivan of Sparrow and the Workshop and Jenny Reeve of Strike the Colours which was released on 3 March 2014. He has worked alongside comedian Robert Florence, producing tracks for the television show Burnistoun . Florence's production company, Bold Yin Productions, also produced award-winning artist Rachel Maclean's short Germs for Channel 4, for which Corrie provided music and sound design. Corrie has continued to work on further projects with Rachel Maclean as well as the National Theatre of Scotland.

The album was favourably reviewed by Drowned in Sound , [8] The Scotsman , [9] The Skinny , [10] The Line Of Best Fit, [11] and The List . [12]
