For the love of dogs…rescue dogs

I wrote these ‘mini songs’ to accompany promotional videos of rescued dogs in Romania desperate for homes. These dogs have been rescued from the shockingly cruel ‘Kill Shelters’ in Romania. They deserve our love and help if we can.

I just want to be loved… Composer:Jonathan Slatter
Rescue Me… Composer:Jonathan Slatter

Their Finest Hour

15 September — Battle of Britain Day

Today we honour “the Few” — the brave RAF pilots and crews who stood firm in the skies during the Battle of Britain.

On this day in 1940, they turned back the Nazi Luftwaffe’s relentless attacks, halting Hitler’s plans to invade Britain and changing the course of history.

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
— Winston Churchill, 1940

We will never forget their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering resolve.

Sound recording was made circa 1996 by Jonathan Slatter nr Farnborough Air Show using a Portadat Recorder and an M-S microphone configuration using Sennheiser MKH30 / MKH40. Decoded and mastered in SADiE.

You can download a recording of the sounds here:

She Moved Through The Fair

For commercial use, you can download a Royalty Free recording from Pond5 here

A haunting and emotional solo viola performance of the Irish traditional song She Moved Through the Fair, one of the most beloved Celtic folk melodies.

This slow air captures the timeless beauty and bittersweet mood of Irish music, with the viola’s warm, rich tone bringing a cinematic quality to this classic folk song. Perfect for fans of Irish traditional music, Celtic slow airs, and atmospheric instrumental performances, this rendition offers a fresh take on a song passed down through generations.

For any enquiries please email here or WhatsApp 07738 470011
The recording studio is conveniently located just a short walk from Bath’s city centre.

Please Note

Re. ADR Sessions: I don’t have an ADR ‘STAGE’ as such – I have a professionally built voice booth with Neumann U87 and Sennheiser MKH416 microphones, plus a separate podcast studio space.
Source Connect is version 3.8/3.9 NOT V4. Please see note below about RTS (Real Time Sync) if you are looking for us to drive the session transport.

Connection to remote studios

  • ISDN: No longer available
  • Source Connect Standard / Talent v3.9 Username’soundsvisual’ *
  • Source Nexus (was Source Connect Now) Username’soundsvisual’
  • Cleanfeed (user: js@jonathanslattemusic.uk)
  • PLEASE NOTE:
    Standard – Talent 3.8 / 3.9 version of Source Connect can receive timecode using RTS (Real Time Sync) but not send. This means that if you want me to drive an ADR session with my DAW, then it can not be done with the Standard/Talent version of Souce Connect. HOWEVER it can easily be done by me sending LTC (linear timecode) down one channel of a Source Connect or preferably Cleanfeed connection for you to slave to for perfect sync. (As we all did back in the day with ISDN – Solid & Reliable)

    I record using Reaper DAW because it’s so fast for ADR and dialogue editing but if you are on ProTools, I can supply 24bit audio files post session and/or an AAF of the session using AA Translator for import into your DAW. If you need any more info or want to do a test just email me: js@jonathanslattermusic.uk
