Today I recorded my new song "On The Farm" at Earwig Studio's in Beach Haven, North Shore.

I had been thinking a long time about this and that it would be nice to record a song at a studio.
After thinking a lot - I thought - I need to take action and make it happen!
During my 2 week break over Xmas I visited the studio for the first time.
I met Darren, the producer, at his home studio.

The studio has a lovely setting overlooking a bush reserve.
We booked a date and time to record the song.

2 weeks ago, I had not finished the song.
Meeting Darren forced me to complete the song.
I had already come up with 4 chords: G#, C#, D#, C#
However, no more than that.
My friend helped by advising that the next section of the song should "go down".
With this great advice, I eventually found the next chord:
F minor!
I also asked Chat GPT for help: "what chords could come next".
Chat GPT provided amazing help aiding in one section of the song: G, Fm, C#, D#

After trying numerous song structures, with the chorus first, bridge first, verse first... I finally felt comfortable with the way it should sound.
I practiced my song 70 times before stepping into the recording room (perfectionist here 🤣).

We did a few warm up takes before launching into the actual recording.
When everything was ready Darren said "Rolling"....
I was nervous. I didn't want to mess it up. However, after a couple of takes my nerves left my body.
The 3rd take sounded the most natural.

Darren mixed and mastered the song, balancing the levels and doing what producers do best: making it sound good! haha 🤣
I enjoyed relaxing outside, looking at the nature, while Darren worked his magic.
It was a fun experience and I felt peaceful compared to other recordings in the past.
Thanks to Earwig Studio, my friend, Chat GPT and the place that inspired the song!
