For the last few years, New Year’s resolutions haven’t been a big deal. I’ve just made a conscious effort to ‘be a better person’, ‘appreciate the good people and things I have going for me’, etc. That’s all great, but this year I have a very specific resolution; I need to either find or create my own recording studio space.

I need a place where I can do My Thing, and invite people over to be involved. My Thing involves playing and recording drums, piano, loud guitars, et cetera. It needs to be a place where I can be an actual professional; it’s time to take the next step up. I need it to be either soundproofed or to be quiet enough where noise from outside isn’t a problem for me, and where the noise I make inside isn’t a problem for others. Perhaps I could have my own room or section of an existing studio? I’m totally open to that idea too.

I’d love to share the space with another person or two, preferably who are already professional musicians and recording people too. I need them to be as responsible and conscientious as I am myself. I’m not ‘married’ to a specific location, but I would prefer it to be in inner NE or SE Portland, or maybe downtown.

If you either know of any leads for affordable space, or a person who you think might be interested in this, please let me know.

Thanks for reading, and have a happy New Year!
