Room to Record is for musicians and creators who have the gear, the ideas and the intention, but still aren't making enough. You might be working from: • a full home studio • a desk in the corner of a room • a laptop and headphones • a rehearsal room • or complete organised creative chaos The goal isn’t a perfect studio. It’s having a workable space, a clearer process and enough momentum to keep making things. Sometimes you don’t need more gear or another tutorial. You need an outside perspective, help working out what’s missing, and a clear next step. That’s what we’ll work on here. We’ll talk about: • rooms and studio setups • recording and songwriting • workflow and creative friction • gear without endlessly buying more of it • unfinished projects • decisions and next steps • releasing and sharing your work • useful tools, services and opportunities • and the strange business of trying to make meaningful things while still living a normal adult life Share your setup, your music, your current project, a problem you’re stuck on, or just quietly absorb ideas while pretending you’re “still planning things.” Very common here. What are you trying to make, finish or move forward right now?

Less planning. More making. I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time thinking about creative spaces, recording workflows and getting projects finished. Now it’s time to actually put it all into practice. I’m getting back into recording my own songs, starting with some unfinished material, and I’ll be documenting the process here. The mistakes, the decisions, the equipment, the distractions and hopefully the finished recordings. Today I started to go through the unfinished demos for the second album. This is a song called “Jump the Fence” which started as a basic idea about 15 years ago. I began creating a demo and developing the sound about 3 years ago. Armed with a brand new bass preamp I put down some basic bass lines and will be returning to the song over the next few days along with many others. Yes - you will get to hear it! What’s one creative project you’ve been meaning to finish?

I seem to regularly forget that of the 10 tracks on this album, 6 were recorded at home - in my own studio space. I used a bunch of tricks along the way to combat creative friction, ADHD and general resistance - but it was done and released in January 2026. And next month I’ll be properly starting in the next one (I guess I already have), or at least intensifying the process. Check this one out on streaming services - ask questions!
