A five-song EP from a singer-songwriter collective — guitar and voice tracked together in the room, strings and textures woven in after.

The challenge
Five writers, five visions, one EP. The songs risked sounding like a playlist instead of a record — and the budget only stretched to three studio days.
Our approach
We found the thread first: all five songs worked with the same small string ensemble and one guitar voice. Two days of live bed tracking, one day of strings and vocals — mixed as a suite, not five singles.
What we delivered
- Live bed tracking for all five songs in two days
- String arrangements recorded with a four-piece ensemble
- Warm, cohesive mix across the whole EP
- Masters plus stripped performance videos for release
"Three days felt like a residency. We walked in with demos and walked out with a record that sounds like us on our best night."
