I build albums the way I build friendships: slowly, stubbornly, and with too much care. You have the taste and the vision, but your technical path is opaque. Let’s bridge the gap between your sketches and the moody, raw reality they deserve. We’ll collaborate on your Alt-Pop or electronic music to develop your ideas, and shape your sound.
Behind every knob and fader at the ŌKUBI Studio is James, metal-head turned synth nerd, and a seasoned music producer with a passion for trip-hop, neo-classical, alt/dark pop, ethereal and experimental electronic genres.
With over a decade in the industry, James brings a wealth of expertise and really cares about every project, ensuring your music not only sounds professional but also uniquely yours.
The studio is a treasure trove for any sound-design nerd: a Moog DFAM, Moog Subsequent 25, Arturia Polybrute, Polyend Medusa, and an RD-9 drum machine to kickstart the rhythm. The warmth of analogue recording comes alive with the Tascam 424 4-track and Revox A77 Reel to Reel.
