Approach
Selective by design
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.
4chordsStudios: Recording • Writing • Production
A boutique recording studio
A calm, high-end creative hideaway in a small village with views over fields and hills. Built for bands, solo artists, instrumentalists and writers who want depth, intention, and a partner in the process, whether you are on your first recordings or your fifth record. There is no upfront studio fee, so you can make the record without watching the clock.
The Setting
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.
- Village calm
- Wide countryside views
- Artist and band retreat energy
- Modern capture
Collaboration
Building together, not billing hours
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.
Sound
Classic tone, modern control
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.
Delivery
Finish-ready workflow
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.
Rooms
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.
