the book

Fifteen records, and what we actually did on each

Studios list names. This lists names and jobs, because "recorded at" can mean anything from eleven days on the floor to an afternoon in the mastering room, and those are not the same claim.

Selected from the book. Sessions under NDA and unreleased work are not listed, which is most of last autumn.

session notes

Three of them, at length

• Bare Wire - 2025

  A record that arrived finished and wrong

  The Rennick Sisters brought in three years of home recordings and asked whether anything could be done. We did not re-record a note. Eleven days of mixing, the plate on every harmony, and a mastering pass that stopped trying to make it sound expensive. It is the closest thing we have to a house record.

• Second House - 2023

  Four players, one take, no headphones

  Marta Vidas wanted the quartet in a circle with the panels open and the tape running. No click, no cans, one microphone pair for the room and four spots for insurance. Take six is the album. The whole session was over by four in the afternoon.

• Advent - 2024

  Eighteen voices in a room built for eight

  The Coldharbour choir did not fit, so we moved the panels out and put them in the shape of the room instead of the room in the shape of them. Two ribbons, three metres up. The 0.94 second tail everyone else asks us to remove is the entire recording.
