Can’t wait for the new place.

The latest album ‘Empathogen’ by Willow is exceptional. A must-listen! Probably best album of the year so far. Every time I listen, I hear something new! Production is top-quality and the song structures are something else!

Tearing apart the studio piece by piece… Selling pretty much everything as we have no space to store while work is going on.

Considering an open sale evening where people come and take a look and take what they fancy. Haven’t got the time to list everything sadly.
Any interest?

Lots of the quality gear and treatment is going because new room is getting bespoke fitted stuff.

Guitars, basses, lights, speakers, cables, microphones, stands, desk, acoustic treatment, power conditioners, mixing desk, keyboards, records and albums, speaker stands, computers, guitar paraphernalia, etc.

Everything must go! 🥸

Some quotes from some lovely reviews of Chandra’s latest tune, I’ll Be There!

“The instrumentation on “I’ll Be There” is pure pop rock and indie rock bliss. The fast pace and driving rhythm section keep the energy high, while the electric guitar adds a touch of grit that perfectly complements the hopeful chorus... One thing that stood out for me through all these, is the production on the whole track. It is crisp and clean, allowing each instrument to shine without muddying the overall soundscape.”

"Impeccably produced, they create a dynamic musical universe that shifts effortlessly between soaring choruses and gritty verses."

“When we talk about production we cannot praise the song’s greatness without appreciating Chandra and Aaron Short, his co-producer. The two worked together to bleed a piece of their soul into this song. The song’s texture, the musical instruments especially the electric guitar solo, and the outstanding vocal work take listeners out of their space and world into Chandra’s mind and his musical capabilities.

The song “I’ll Be There “ is a musical masterpiece that is hard to forget or replicate.”

Pleasure having CLEO and the PATRAS in for a few sessions over the weekend!

29/02/2024

Very pleased to say that we have been super busy for the last few months, with many amazing new artists and bands choosing AZ Sounds for their recording, mixing and production needs. It’s been an absolute privilege to work with so many amazing people!

Because of this, I am happy to announce we’ll be expanding the availability, quality and scope of services soon! This will be due to the opportunity to build/construct a new bigger studio space! I can’t wait to share the progress and to experience the finished space! Spoiler Alert: it will be the studio with the best views in Bristol 🙂 and the best sound quality too of course 🫶🏼

24/02/2024

Can’t wait for again!

16/02/2024

Working hard on some new tracks for some new artists today! Sshh it’s top secret!

Having a break to see my little man!

We’re back again. One of the best pubs around, our favourite live music place to be. The Poacher Pub Portishead - Saturday 10th February!

21/01/2024

😍 Thanks to everyone who has reached it! The year is pretty much full now. I have the odd weekend here and there left and some evenings if anyone needs any quick mixes or production advice. I have also been booked by 4 people for tuition and lessons, so do get in touch. Happy to make small groups, and make it cheaper than 1:1 lessons.

20/01/2024

I don’t think I have anymore takes left in me…

11/01/2024

Two super music bingo nights coming up in the next few weeks! The Lifeboat and The Rec Bar Wrington, two of our favourite places! Recommended to book in advance as tables can be full!

Rock and roll recording with @cleo_and_the_patras 🫶🏼

A superb bingo night at @thepoacherportishead last night! Join us for the next one ☝️ watch this space!

The longest I’ve ever spent on recording a guitar lick/solo. Over 200 takes altogether until I got it the way it needed to be 🤪. Here’s a clip of some of them! I’m a perfectionist at heart. #recordingstudio #guitarsolo #musicproduction @listentochandra

Ready to start on a new fantastic music project with this guy.

Hello! 2024 is looking to be huge! Thank you for all the messages, bookings and requests. Unfortunately, I am almost fully booked with long-term sessions and many on-going projects, which means I’m unable to take as many new bookings as I’d like. I am instead offering a new, much neater menu of services (see image below): All new bookings come with: - Free adjustments and edits - Free water, tea, coffee, soft drinks and beers and snacks - Professional, friendly service Most work is done in the small studio space, however larger live band recordings can avail of a live room space with engineer. Quick turn-around and near limitless edits as standard. * All recording sessions include rough mix. * Distribution and promotion support is also available. It has been a real honour to work with so many amazing local and international artists over the last few years, with lots of repeat business from loads of happy clients. I cannot wait to work with more of you next year. Funding is in the pipeline too so we can soon begin working with some amazing labels and charities for FREE to bring amazing recording & engineering experiences and outcomes to everyone.

Filming a new video with The Best Of Acoustic Duo - Coming soon!

The newest mix engineer at AZ Sounds is just listening to the latest WakTherapists mix and checking it sounds ace! Rock and roll! Red Tangent Records

The Lifeboat Open Mic is back this Wednesday. One of my absolute favourites! Instruments available (get in touch if you have specific requests), top sound, great photos and lots of fun! #openmicnight #shirehampton #bristolmusic

Blast from the past!

So Kristia Harvey (the one and only) sent me an old song we recorded the other day, from 2006? It was recorded on an old white Macbook through the crappy mic on the laptop - sounds like tripe! But great song! Unfortunately the project file was a little corrupted and files have been lost! But I had a little bit of fun opening it up and trying to build a base upon which to maybe re-record properly in the future?! 🤓

Chatting nonsense to passersby. #

A sneaky behind-the-scenes look at Ryan Kershaw's new single, a Christmas cover of Fairytale of New York. It's magical in many ways, including the performance, the hidden easter eggs and the beautiful Christmas feelings you'll get when you listen to it in full!
