The Studio

Recording
It's not a big studio, so I can't really handle the whole rock god thing, but it's perfect for soloists, singer-songwriters and smaller acoustic line-ups, where quality sound is the benchmark. I work with Protools and Logic and have a modest but excellent selection of mics, guitars and amps.
When I set up the studio, I was inspired by a studio I once recorded at in Denmark that was like one big living room and was a really relaxing place in which to work. 7:28 tries to evoke a similar low-stress vibe, where books actually form part of the soundproofing, making us arguably the most academic studio in Kent, where you can not only record your solo album but also read for your Phd!
Music for film and TV
7:28 can also provide small compositions and vignettes for film and TV and other performing arts.
Teaching
In addition, I teach guitar and bass, specialising in folk, blues and rock, both acoustic and electric varieties and from beginner to advanced level.
Below are a few examples of what we do: First a version of Stevie Nicks' Landslide sung by Jeannie Clarke, the The Feed Shed, an instrumental from my 'Anglicana' project album (see personal projects for more info), and Nine Volt Heart a tune from our forthcoming album 'Did I really say that?' All instruments played by myself.
And a few videos: 'What are you listening to' by Chris Stapleton, sung by Jeannie Clarke, 'Sunshine in my Heart', a Christmas song I wrote and recorded for Jeannie, Christmas 2021 and 'Long time coming', a John Hiatt song I recorded just because I like it. There's also a promotional video for my 'Strangers' project referencing the current 'small boats' issue and finally 'Driving these wheels' a quick video with one of the tunes from our forthcoming album.
All of the istruments played by me and wherever singing is involved, it's mostly 'er indoors.
