Featured Work
ELECTRIC HORSEMAN - PAGE
First single of the debut EP of this young band. Great songs and gread sounds. Fun was had in the studio: Tracked almost entirely in a live session - it took the shelter of night, candle light, red wine and a 1962 AC30 to get this one straight. Goal was to get the vibe of your favourite old vinyls but to add the depth and space of modern production. Love the result!
mattes - karussell EP
The songs of this young German band have depth and that intriguing playfulness. Following the mainly classic singer-songwriter four-piece pre-production, the goal was to achieve the richness of contemporary arrangements. So we played around with many additional textures and instruments while focusing on organic sound sources to preserve authenticity.
masheé - cages we built eP
What was actually meant to be just a demo recording for the artist eventually became a full EP production. The energy of the songs and the artist was in the room so we just kept on going and went a bit mad for a few weeks with the instruments, effects and synths in the studio. By the way, at least half of the synth sounds are actually based on samples of Mariellas voice.
