And in the queer new world of broadband, MP3 and the virtual stylophone, we need never even meet....which could be just as well?

Check the Audio Samples page to get a better idea of the typical workflow and scope.
Quality of production is paramount here and we would encourage you to compare the many samples provided by similar services before entrusting your work to any one.
What do SFR Charge?
At this point in the life of smallfish, all work is carried out as a free collaboration with selected artists. if you want to be considered as a potential candidate for the SFR treatment, then use the contact form elsewhere in the site.
We will always consider paid work if you have a specific commercial project requirement and this can be negotiated based on your brief.
I'm Interested - What do I do Now?
Ideally, you will have some kind of recorded material you can render to MP3 format and email to us (we take copyright very seriously and will treat all submitted material as your property). Maybe you have something on CD? - send it in.
More importantly, you need to tell us what you want done with it. Are you looking for musical direction, collaboration, or just to clean up and capture ideas for further development?
We will bounce the idea around and take it from there.....
If you're within easy reach, arrange a meet-up. Not essential these days but good if you can do it. We'll listen to your stuff and disuss what could possibly be done with it.
What Can't SFR Do?
Pig's ears - if the source material is not good, we can use it to spawn ideas but we have currently run out of magic dust - we'll want to re-record. Likewise, If you're an X-Factor reject, we will politely decline.
Location recording - nope, can't do that (yet)
Full band multitracking - you'll still need to pay through several noses if this is what you need to do. We can take your multitrack recordings and sew them together nicely but the recording facilities here are limited to 2 channel tracking.
Country and Western - only joking (or are we?).........
