Paperadio – Making Of The Music Video
A while ago now, I helped out some good friends of mine, Paperadio, on bass for a couple of years. On the night of their farewell show at the Borderline in London, I became an official member for one night only, but it was a good night-only.
During the time playing bass for them, we took a trip to New York City to film a music video for their song Long Narrow Road. I took my video camera and filmed as much of our time as possible to document it. I cut 5 hours of footage down to 28mins or so, restraining myself from using more. It was a lot of fun doing a music video on a rooftop at the foot of the Empire State Building and around Manhattan.
Split into 3 parts, here is the result of our journey to NYC. Props to the very awesome directors of the actual music video, which can watch at the bottom of the post. They are called Twin.

The Making Of The Album Part IV
The song I’m The Ocean, was the first to be recorded for the album, and at the moment, it’s the first song to be finished and mastered. Recorded in Australia on my last visit home – I was out there for 4 months playing gigs there for the first time. Fun times.
The opportunity arose to put this track down in a studio near Surrey Hills in Sydney, called Limestone Studio. It was a great little place run by two excellent guys, Louis Schoorl (from Holand) and Steeve Body (from France). They were a laugh to work with. It was a bit of fluke finding two gents with whom I could feel completely comfortable recording with from the word go, especially having only done a few google searches to find them.
The initial reason I gravitated towards their studio through google was because they had all the instruments I needed to use which were set up all the time, ready to go. This was perfect as I only brought my Strat and Vibrolux with me from London. It makes such a massive difference to the recording process when the people involved are really great to work with. They made it possible to pull off recording the song in one day – thanks to their dedication and hard work. If you’re hunting for a studio in Sydney, definitely look them up!!
This video has been slapped together fairly quickly as I didn’t have a lot of footage to work with, I need to get someone to film more next time I’m in the studio!
