Rosemary


I've been recording and mixing two songs with my first Dartington artist in the new studios this week.

Rosemary is a 4th year Music student who writes songs along with her boyfriend Ant, just about to enter the final term of her degree. We recorded two songs in the session, one actually had to be finished being written during the process which was actually more interesting than frustrating, although it took a long time.


It was the first time I've really been enthusiastic about the songs or the artist I'm recording, which was very refreshing. It was also the first time I properly recorded a piano part (which for this song was the main instrument) and I they also trusted my say in the progression and arrangements of both songs.

Rosie even encourage me to experiment with the sound of the mixes rather than just accommodate what she was expecting - which is usually the case. We've booked another session for this Friday, before I go home for Easter, and she's also asked me to record the band she's putting together for her final performances.

Here's one of the songs we recorded, called Hieroglyphs:
