The Old Studio

   Posted by: pete

Most of the last month was spent in what has commonly become known as, among musicians at Philadelphia, The Old Studio.  Sat right in the heart of our church campus, the building that formerly saw daily recording sessions and rehearsals had become vacant and lifeless. Now, it is a vibrant home for creativity, worship and music.

It’s been symbolic for me to record my first full album of worship songs in The Old Studio. Philadelphia was where they were birthed and so it has been great to record them there. I hope it breaks new ground for many more home grown songs and recordings to come from our Campus.

Everything has been recorded and programmed and we are now in the mixing phase. I’ve had the first few back and they’re sounding great. On May 23rd, my hope is that the night will be about more than just the release of the album, but also a night when we gather to sing songs that have come from our story and our journey as a church.

For now The Old Studio has returned to being a rehearsal venue as we prepare for the gig.

The countdown has begun!

Tuesday night’s rehearsal was really good! It feels like the songs I wrote for BMS World Mission (during my visit to Bangkok earlier this year) are coming together.  The arrangements are falling into place and dates to be in the studio look set for early November. I’m really excited to be recording these songs with Dan Bowater at DB Studios in Lincoln.

God Are You There? is gritty and edgy and in contrast Mr Free Man is musically very uplifting but awkwardly challenging in its lyric content.

I’m praying that these songs will make a difference in some way, not sure how, but am aware of God smiling on this project…will keep you posted.

Below are a few pictures from Tuesday night’s rehearsal…
