Steve Wright has got a new selection jingles. One goes like Steve Wright……..Great Britan.

Has anyone got any links to where they were produced at?

There are lots of links on JingleMad re: Steve Wright's jingles. They are produced by Anthony James of AJ Productions, an occasional visitor to this site. Here's one link to get you started:

Thankyou. He does have some new images which I can't find anymore. He aired them last week on his Afternoon and Sunday shows.

This is particularly surreal – you listen to Steve Wright's anthem daily but appears very strange when seeing it performed live…

The 2009 reworking of Anthony's original 1993 main theme.

Fab work Ant!

What, no inclusion of Northern Ireland?

Why do so many jingle musician or vocalist sessions (with the notable exception of JAM and TM) seem as if they're taking place squashed into the wee many-doored 6-foot wide corridor outside the office bogs?!?! (that string section hardly have enough space to slide their bows, and the french horn player appears to been banished to the attic!)

Well..WIXY 1360 here's why:

There are two studios here in New York I record in. A Large one..and a small one! Space in Dallas is nowhere near the premium it is in New York City and I'm talking just off Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side..which is where I live. This session you're referring to was recorded in my Top Floor Studio on a 4 story Townhouse in New York and the small live room is where i like to record strings. The reason is that is produces, for me, a tight string sound that in very open studios would sound “airy” and thin. I don't like this sound and prefer the more dymanic tight sound. The French Horn was recorded in my large larger studio (Downtown) on the mezzanine level (there are 2 levels to this studio, also with a “Drum Room”. So if I'm going for the punch, rather than an orchestral sound, i will record in smaller spaces and it also allows me to treat the sound any way i want to post production.

oh and the toilets (or “Bogs” as you put it) are on the reception level.

Also these musicians play in smaller and tighter places than this in many cases here in New York and I do assure you they have plenty on room for extended bowing!

However, Just before Christmas i recorded a 24 piece string section in my other studio and this was for a film project, but certainly would not suit radio or at least the way I would want it and at the end of it all, it's about what I feel is best.

It doesn't matter where you record, it's how you write it, pre-prep, record it technically and mix it. If we want to go into Budget, better not get started on that one.

Thanks for that Anthony – always fascinating to see the inside of how things are done, especially the effort that goes into the “art” of being able to achieve the “right” sound!
:^)

I'm from the era of hospital radio (etc) where there would be cardboard egg-boxes all over the walls (“budget ” anechoic covering, and NO “'Elf 'n' Safetee”!) and thick curtain across the studio door.

In recent times I've seen so many pictures of jingle “studios” that DO seem to be just a bit of narrow corridor with doors-off, no obvious “studio” fittings other than chair-plus-mike/stand, no obvious sound-deadening material just plain painted walls (on one occasion even uncoated grey breeze-block), and on another a ceiling with missing tiles showing the rafters and roof above.
