Today we tracked ukulele and electric guitars for Norms new song called “Wait for me”. Sounding good! We spent time on getting the song structure and tempo right. Often artists don’t give that enough consideration, at Hummingbird Studio it’s all about the song!

Tonight we had Eva in the studio recording a beautiful piano instrumental she wrote. Adding some strings for background vibes. Looking forward to sharing this when ready.

Natural talent shines through when the artist is relaxed and well rehearsed. No click track needed for this style of music.

Classical trained artists have a huge advantage in this way, all those years learning from sheet music, playing songs from the greats like Beethoven, Mozart etc build a wonderful base to create new melodies from.

Yesterday we had a group from Myanmar record vocals for an original song they wrote. Such a warm and friendly energy including an international collaboration from a musician in India creating the music bed.

Really enjoyed this session!

There’s a community from Myanmar in Nelson who add a fresh flavour to our region.

Writing your setlist is key to a great performance. Here’s one from Muse.

Notice they start their show with 2 crowd favs, then there’s a gap to say hello and connect with the audience.
Then it’s a wave of songs with a moment later on.

Then they finish with one of their biggest songs leaving the crowd wanting more.
