Acoustic recording for the "Wild In PLaces" special EP recorded at " someBigShed" Roby Mill, Lancashire June 2009.

See Me Through - Andrea Glass (featuring Toby Wilson)

New Wild Rolling River

Drum track recorded live at SomeBigshed on a wet afternoon. I always wanted to play in a cool New York Jazz quartet and now courtesy of the internet I've "lived the dream".

Song " A Soft Touch" was  written and performed on piano by Mark Rippingale (who also arranged the horn parts) and some superb bass. Happy days indeed - to think I can sit in my studio all day making tunes like this - awesome (true use of the word I think)!

Soft Touch- (Live) New York

Another track that I recently did some drums and percussion on.This track is written and performed by Swedish trio Baskery who achieve a terrific southern sound all of their own. Thy are signed to Veranda Records a great independent record label that boasts artists such as Jim Hanft, Samantha Yonak and Jenny Doveson. Track them down I'm sure you'll enjoy the music just as I do. I'm a big fan of the pared down feel to the recordings something that I set out to achieve when I started the studio and hopefully a style I'll master in the near future. Right now I'm concentrating on getting a real good drum sound here at "juan6one"

Day Like This

Great song written by Toby Wilson ( The Dobro Doctor) , who I have worked with in the past on other people's projects, though as yet the track doesn't feature any of Toby's superb slide playing. 
This is a demo track done recently to sketch the feel of the project. Pleased for the most part. Will be interesting to see how this develops.

Let's Talk About Lola - Drum Demo

Remixed to feature the frottoir (rub board or washboard as it's known here in the UK). My first attempt at recording one and an encouraging result. Great song written and performed by Steve Jefferson, with Chris Collins on b-bender Fender, "Shoeless"Doug Marshall ,mandolin,Mike Smith, Guitar, Rick Denney, bass with Johnny Cajon on drums and frottoir! Makes you wanna dance!!!!!

Can't Rewind - Dorinda Weaver

I re-mixed this track and amended the snare drum sound and reduced the frequency of the bass drum. The end result I think speaks for it's self.  Listen out of the the "ghost note" bass drum triplet towards the end of the song. he bass drum only plays two beats but it is such harmony with the bass guitar it sounds as if there are three notes. Very pleased.

Walkin' Blues

The Rhythm Princes, started as an idea I had to work with several friends on recording projects. I built a studio from scratch (including erecting the building) in my back garden, just a year ago. Things have been slow to get started not least as I have struggled with the technology but finally I think things are starting to come together. The studio is a small intimate space and I intend to try to record material as simply as possible attempting whenever to capture the spontaneity often found in those first few takes but which is frequently  lost in subsequent sessions. To strip back songs to their basic format often reveals the real strength and purpose of the song, can focus on the importance of the lyric and prove that age old adage that "less is very often more".
The studio, just like my skills, is at the infant stage, there is much to learn, things will go wrong or simply not work but like life the aim is to have a little fun along the way and meet and enjoy the company of a growing network of friends. I'd love to hear from anyone interested in working together on projects, people who might like to try and record some material and hopefully you might stick around and grow with us. Get in touch, I won't bite. Studio Juan:6:one.
