START HERE: Welcome to Room to Record
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?

Bring your Ideas
Sometimes the difference between an ordinary photo and something memorable is just one slightly stupid idea. For a Last Milieu band shoot a few months ago, I brought a ladder and suggested the photographer shoot from above. For the Sunday Mail shoot this week I suggested that we all lie on the floor with drumsticks. Both ideas got used. The photographers still did the actual photographic work, obviously. But turning up with an idea gave them something more interesting to experiment with. It’s a useful reminder that creative direction doesn’t only belong to the person holding the camera. Bring an idea. Suggest something. Try the odd angle. Worst case, it doesn’t work. Best case, it ends up in the paper.

Putting News out there...
This week, a press release for one of my bands, Last Milieu has generated: - an article in today’s local Sunday Mail - coverage in Glam Adelaide - coverage in The Note Magazine - an interview and performance on Radio Adelaide on Monday 31 August I’m mostly mentioned as the multi-instrumentalist and appear in the photos, which is completely fine — the story is the band, and the situation for one of the other members. The useful reminder for me is this - finished work creates momentum. You can spend months tweaking, planning and preparing, but once something is actually finished and sent out into the world, it can start changing things. Weeks later you meet people and they say "Oh yeah I heard of your band...." or "yeah you were on that Radio chart." That applies to music, videos, courses, websites, probably most creative work. Finish it. Send it. See what comes back. Read one of the articles here: https://www.thenote.com.au/news/stage-iv-diagnosis-prompts-adelaide-garage-punk-trios-first-live-show In the next few weeks I will be sharing more of the music and related work that sits next to Room to Record on my schedule. And, I'm starting the process of recording album #2 in the studio.
