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!
