Adventures at Angel Studios

Last week, through my volunteering, I got to go to Angel Studios and watch (and listen) while three guys laid some tracks. Over the past few months, we have been helping facilitate a rap and songwriting workshop which has given a few young people the chance to workshop, write and record music. The studio donated the time and technicians. VERY cool.

Conrad the Scoundral (aka Louie) strikes a pose for me. He was one of the guys who ran the workshops:


Zak composed the music and wrote his lyrics when he got to the studio. He was one of the really dedicated young people who came to all the workshops and got to us 5 hours of free studio time to record his music:


Zak with the mixing equipment:


The studio was really posh in an old, huge building. I think it might be the biggest name in studios in London (besides the blah blah Abbey Road Studios).

Louie:


JB, Zak and Louie at the end of the session. JB was the other workshop leader. He is a spoken word artist. All three guys have different styles and voices, so the final track they made was really interesting and GOOD, I think. I feel really lucky to have had this experience and I hope I can get Louie and JB to come to our school (one of my fundraising goals!)

I feel almost certain that I'm going to get in trouble for posting this video, but it was such a fun day and such a nice time in the clover field...we love our friends!
