Recording Begins
So life is full of synchronicities in the last month I have been lucky enough to be approached by an agent. Now you hear things about agents not always good but after doing some research this guy (John Mostyn) has got some serious credibility. So it turns out it was no accident that this guy saw me play, Chris Halpin who is one of the organisers of this particular show and also works for the agent in question invited him down to play himself. Chris Halpin is someone I’ve known in passing for years weirdly enough. In high school I was sent to guitar music workshop, which was hosted at Chris’s school. Since then I would see him in places and without really knowing each other we would nod acknowledging each other. Years later I’m going out with a girl from Kingsbury and we from time to time drink in the pub there and low and behold I get introduced to Chris as someone she used to go to school with, again in the years that follow we nod, we acknowledge.
Now I get stuck into my first meeting with my agent and Chris is present and it’s suggested that I try to record better examples of my material. So I agree to try it out. I’ve spent two days in Chris’s studio and it’s been an absolute blast. Chris said he wanted to do it because he appreciated that I was mixing acoustic influences with break beat rhythms and he loved both of those styles of music. I can quite honestly say we’re on the same wavelength. We’ve done all the live takes for Promises and have started adding things that will give the song more depth on record and make it a different experience from hearing it live. We’re both looking in the same direction on this stuff me with the material and him with his technical know-how and we hope to start recording a studio version All Good Things this week. This may even be the beginning of an album, if we’re onto a good thing we may as well keep going?
