New Breath of Life at The British Museum


Hi People,

Just to prove to you I havent been on holiday but actually getting on with some work quietly; I thought I would post a short update. Facing a hike in rent due to the reborn and renovated facilities at the Battery Complex (Great for big name artists but not so great for indie artists) I moved out from my much loved studio space without finding a new space. So officially I am homeless at the moment well at least in studio terms!

I did manage to mix a the essential "Hui A" tracks for the EP debut release. So next step is get these mastered before doing the whole promo circuit. I know most of you want to know more about the dark studio art of mastering and I promise you a special post on this when I do the session!

Straight after moving out the studio myself and Jerome (The other half of HuiA) went over to The British museum to record some of the Maori instruments brought collected by explorer's in the 19th century.

We did a short karakia blessing and proceeded to record these ancient instruments. I havent yet had a chance to edit these but I will post some examples as soon as possible.

The new term is coming up soon so if any of you are interested in getting on either of the producer projects at The Roundhouse then sign up right away! I will be running "Producers - Advanced" and "MC - Producers Collab".

Drop me a line if you have any requests this term.

See you all soon

Ben
