Here it is, my big blank page, torn up and taped back together again, so often. Each time I do, the pieces are smaller, the puzzle is more complex and all the richer for it. I’ve given so much thought to bringing this to an end, failing to see that it’s just a new start after all, already here, fully formed and alive, waiting for me to catch up. Walking into my new space for the first time after completion, I was genuinely terrified, the wait was over and it was time to prove I could live up to it. So I opened the last track I was working on when I left my old studio, cranked up the @genelec_oy and it all came rushing back. I was home. My vision for this place could never have become a reality without some extremely talented and loving spirits, first of all, @rakelacchino for encouraging me to dream bigger and live larger and setting me straight whenever the challenges became hard to handle. @flanalog for always being there when I needed you. Every time. Without fail. I’m honoured. @lowswing_studio and @kraatzstudios for your support and for not letting me back down. My new studio neighbours @key.ratio and @valerio.massucci for your patience and making the whole process as easy as possible. And Wim Tavernier for sharing your woodwork expertise. It’s been a pleasure sharing this process with you in photos and words, and on day 5, the last day of my studio construction recap, thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts with me. So many people have reached out and I hope to see all of you here soon. This is where it all begins and new releases will follow. Much love, Jim x #berlin #recording #studio #studiobuild #studioconstruction #studiolife #musicproduction #genelec https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj-QWHCI6B-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A little flash back to when I started looking for a new building to put the studio in. This one didn’t make it past a single “should I put my studio here” test! 😂 #mystudioflow . . . . #studioconstruction #recordingmusic #recordingstudio #recordingstudiolife #musicstudio #studiodesign #newstudio #smallbusiness #businessowner #audioengineer #audioengineerlife #musicproducerlife #leecounty #swfl #swflmusic #studioflow #studiolife #mystudio #buildingabusiness #workethic #propertysearch #makingmusic (at EQ Recording And Multimedia)

Almost done with the iso booth revamp. We are going through and finally replacing temporary acoustic treatment with more thorough, permanent treatments. #audioworker #diy #thatssobrainville #lungsfullofburlap #itsallgoodep #acoustics #studioconstruction (at Brainville) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuKAa2Ghzaa/?igshid=5p8ox4ao2y81

A question that haunts me every day is “when is this track done?”. Michelangelo said “No great work of art is ever finished”, which I’m sure gave him many a good night’s sleep. Another way of looking at it is, if you can no longer add or remove anything without making it worse, it’s done. I find there’s slightly more comfort in this thought but I struggle to accept it - leaving things out is often crucial and what does worse mean anyway? What comes closest to my understanding of finishing creative work is from Paul Valéry, “Poems are never finished - just abandoned”. This captures the desperation of an artwork’s final moments of gestation; you can only cut the cord, you must free yourself from its temptation. As I drew nearer to the end of my studio construction, I realised this still held true. Getting lost in details and options, simple tasks would suddenly take days to complete. I knew this feeling, all too well, the familiar process of abandonment was starting to take place. This clashes with a core element of who I am. I love to create and I don’t particularly care if it’s something you hear, see or taste. The process of imagining something and watching it become real is something I can never get enough of and letting go of this process is by far the hardest part. On day 4 of my studio construction recap, I’m only now coming to terms with this new reality. It’s time to step away, it’s time to move on to the next project. It’s time to make music again. #berlin #recording #studio #studiobuild #studioconstruction #studiolife #musicproduction https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj7p7StoOfF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

..... And to follow the last post, here is a sequence of 9 steps in the construction of the upper studio space (from the initial grading of the site). It’s all hands on deck in the fourth pic with the pouring of a slab! Enormous gratitude to the talented Mark Phillips, Ryder, Marcus and my wonderful dad - for all their help in assisting my dream studio become a reality!

Here is a little footage of us tearing the roof off of the vocal booth during the move to the new studio.
