Studio Update

We are currently in a period of transition, ready to move on into the next phase of SoulJahm.  For the last 2 - 3 years we have worked to get this Music out, often under adverse conditions in all areas of life.  In May this year we began to feel we'd taken it as far as we could go under those conditions.  Recording with one budget microphone, a laptop that was on it's last legs and few instruments, we managed to put out a collection of songs and videos to introduce SoulJahm.

The studio taking shape in its temporary home...

Now we must take it further and we are in the process of putting together a small home studio where we can work and create in a more favourable environment for the foreseeable future.  Thanks to some good people around us, we have spent the last month or so acquiring equipment and have the studio itself ready and waiting to go.  It is now only a matter of finding the right space to set-up in and begin.  Berlin or Budapest look to be the main contenders but we will go anywhere we're moved so long as it is for the benefit of this Music.

Testing...

Analogue 4-Track Version of "Mysterious"

While having a bit of a jam a few weeks ago, we experimented with recording this song on an old 4-track tape machine. We played acoustic guitar, bass and percussion live together in the room and then overdubbed electric guitar, some more percussion and finally vocals. All of this was recorded to tape - no editing - and then we stuck it all on the computer. It is pretty much the sound we make in a room at the moment. We recorded two more songs this way from the same session which might go up here in the coming weeks.
