Sammy the studio bird!

Post by mattcoffs »

Sammy likes to help me out while recording. I don't think she realises though how distracting she can be during takes!

hehe

Hi Matt

I have no idea how you manage it! My guys would be into the headset, the leads from th guitars, etc.!

Hehe, well she's not always this good and cute!
She isn't too bad with cords and stuff, although she does try to have a chew if i'm not careful. I caught her in a "sitting on the shoulder" mood for this one i think!
She seems to prefer to swing from and hang about in the guitar cords/studio wiring mess under my desk more so than chew it which is nice...

It's really cute sometimes she is really curious as to what i'm doing - she'll hang upside down from my arm and watch me play - climb down there and grab the strings with her beak... It's pretty cool! A nightmare for nailing a perfect take sometimes though!!!

I imagine the music is quite enriching for Sammy. What is it you do Matt? Are you a guitarist / singer / sound engineer / voice over artist?

Hey Ellie,

I'm actually a video editor/animator/graphic artist by day.
I moonlight as a singer/songwriter in my spare time - it may take off one day and become my day job, but i'm not holding my breath!

And yeah i think she enjoys it! Some songs she likes more than others and will whistle away through it... Maybe she's my new secret weapon "hit finder" haha :)

If you're interested - there's heaps of downloads and stuff on my website. www.mattdeanmusic.net

Hi Matt

Checked out your site. You and your band are very talented. Good luck with it all!

I am currently working on a child safety computer game (see www.orbit.org.au). We are currently casting people to voice our game characters - which is why I got interested when I saw you were in a recording studio! We are generally sourcing the voice talent locally and we've just about got all of the parts covered now.

Hey Ellie, that looks really interesting!

I have done a couple of voice over projects here and there. Let me know if there's any young male parts left - i could possibly send you a sample or something :)
