MORDEN SHOALS
Much of Clare's composition and studio engineering activity takes place at Morden Shoals (its name inspired by the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama) which is a professional recording studio located between Morden and Wimbledon in South London, ideal for singer/songwriters or rock/jazz/folk bands and voiceovers. We can engineer, produce, mix and master your project to a very high standard using a combination of state-of-the-art analogue and digital equipment.
Morden Shoals has evolved from a tiny spare bedroom, with two microphones, Yamaha O1V desk and keyboard to a sixteen year period located in a good-sized loft conversion fitted with a Clearsonic drum isolation booth (where a good many commercial albums were produced, including recent highly acclaimed offerings by Home Service, Gryphon and John Kirkpatrick). Visitors have included Linda Thompson, Janie Dee, John Tams and Ric Sanders.
In 2020, a purpose-built 42 sq. mt. totally soundproofed and treated outhouse studio was constructed. The new building is very comfortable, fully air-conditioned and features a completely isolated 3.6 sq. mt. recording area at the far end, with an open control area at the other, also housing the ISO booth. There is a good selection of quality microphones as well as excellent preamps and outboard gear and an excellent Yamaha U3 upright piano. To book the studio please go to the contact page .
