Free studio time! Comment “Free” beneath this track to apply!

No shortcuts or compromises this is a full day in the studio as well as a mix and master for one song. So this will have your song release ready to an exceptionally high standard FOR FREE!

We can only accommodate 1 session for this and ideally it’ll be someone with a new project. Can’t wait to hear your demos, they don’t need to be anything too high production value, a simple phone in a rehearsal room that gets the vibe across is all we need!

Good luck!

Great to be back in my favourite studio @starttogetherstudio with @rockyoreilly yesterday. So busy working on drums for two different artists this was the only photo I thought to take. Here’s a poor photo of some amazing outboard gear that we ran @paistecymbals a vintage Gretsch kit and various Ludwig and pearl snare drums through. #sessiondrummer #starttogetherstudio #paiste #vater

Em algum momento da minha carreira, eu comecei a me sentir uma fraude.

Então resolvi estudar. E sigo estudando. Minha voz, música, composição. Aula atrás de aula. Horas e mais horas.

Estou gravando meu novo álbum — todo em inglês. E vocês vão entender o porquê na hora certa.

Esse é o estúdio onde gravei minha próxima música. Tudo analógico. Fugi pra Belfast atrás de um som que eu tinha na cabeça e fui parar ao lado desse gênio, cercada de microfones, máquinas e coisas que me fizeram lembrar por que comecei a fazer música.

E uma das minhas únicas exigências foi: I don’t want Auto-Tune.

Não é pra isso que eu venho pagando aulas e preparadores vocais. Eu quero ouvir minha voz. Rouca. Crua. Imperfeita quando tiver que ser.

Não quero fazer música pra chocar. Se eu tiver sorte, quero fazer música pra tocar alguém.

E tô pouco me fudendo em performar feminilidade ou me encaixar na bonequinha que alguém da indústria acha mais fácil de vender. “Alisa o cabelo.” “Esteja sempre linda.” “Faça isso.” “Não faça aquilo.”

Chega.

Agora eu tô pronta pra ser eu por completo.

Preparem-se pra me ver visceral, rouca e bagunçada.
Porque essa sou eu.

You have one week to prepare.

One week until the doors open.
One week until the lights go down.
One week until the music begins.

@susipagel tells us about her second EP ‘Worry Dolls’ as well as her busy summer playing @stendhalireland festival and recording a live session in @starttogetherstudio with local legend @rockyoreilly 👏

This was a very special one for us as we celebrated 50 episodes of the Rig Rundown! 🎉🎸

To mark episode 50, we brought together a brilliant line-up of guests from across the local music scene, with James Loveday from the Distortion Project, Phil Horner from Hornland Music Services and Conjuring Fate, Marty McStravick from Hotter Than Hell – Europe’s Number One KISS Tribute, Michael Bell from Start Together Recording Studio, and up-and-coming singing sensation, Susi Pagel!

It was a great night of talking music, live performance, recording, the local scene and everything that goes on behind the scenes. And what better way to celebrate 50 episodes than bringing together such a fantastic mix of people from different parts of the music community 👏

A massive thanks to everyone who has supported the Rig Rundown over the last 50 episodes, everyone who has appeared, shared, watched and followed along, and of course to Voodoo for having us.

Here’s to the next 50! 🤘🎸
