I work with a small number of artists and bands so there is time to really listen.
You do not have to be established. What matters is care for the music and a willingness to explore together.
A quiet place to build loud records
A small village studio with wide-open views and a focused, modern workflow.
4chordsStudios sits in a quaint village surrounded by fields and rolling hills.
The pace is slower here. That is exactly the point.
It is a place to write, experiment, rehearse, arrange and grow music without pressure to arrive with a finished plan, and without having to keep one eye on the studio clock.
We shape projects as partnerships.
There is no upfront studio cost and no hourly rate in the room. The focus is on the music first and on building a way of working that suits the project.
Everything is talked through clearly so it feels fair and supportive, especially if you are new to studios, sessions or credits.
A treated live room full of character instruments and tools for players and writers. Century-old piano and acoustic instruments sit alongside amps, pedals, synths and drums.
Captured with a tight, modern signal path for everything from live bands to intimate solo performances.
Tracking, production and Atmos mixing in one focused environment.
Ideas can move from sketch to release without losing the heart of the song, groove or score.
A room that grows with you
The best work happens when everyone in the room is invested.
This studio is set up to feel like an ally in your development. You can take the time the music needs without worrying that every extra take is adding to a bill.
Two spaces, one intent
A fully treated live room and an Atmos mixing room built for detail, feel and momentum, for players, writers, bands and composers.
The Live Room
Fully treated and stocked for real sessions.
An old 1904 Steinway Model K, trumpet, saxophones, electric and acoustic guitars, basses, amps, violins and other strings, a full drumkit, hand percussion, and a growing collection of pedals and outboard.
Captured with vintage ribbon mics and modern recreations of classic 47, 67 and C12-style microphones.
A space for live bands, rhythm sections, soloists, ensemble parts and textural overdubs, from delicate piano to noisy guitars.
The Atmos Mixing Room
A focused, immersive environment for projecting a record into three dimensions.
Designed for clarity, translation and depth, from intimate stereo mixes to full Atmos releases,
for albums, singles, live sessions, instrumental projects and score work.
Share a demo or idea
Share 1 to 3 tracks and a short note about what you would like to make. I will listen, and if it feels like the right fit, I will reply with thoughts or suggested next steps. There is no cost or obligation.
