Where The Magic Happens
Situated within my beautiful farmhouse in the heart of Interlaken, the LIVE room is 100% sound proofed and acoustically treated (with no volume constraints). The adjoining air conditioned CONTROL room is the heart of the studio and allows for the full integration of every signal source: just plug, play, track, mix, review and finalize. No unnecessary technical problems or delays.
Gear and instrument wise the studio is fully equipped with everything artists need to produce the highest quality recordings. It takes a lifetime to assemble such a collection, I firmly believe that sound quality has declined over the years. The difference in sonic quality of great analog gear is really noticeable.
Most important of all is know how. Having written, arranged, produced, recorded and mixed for myself and my clients using this equipment, together with a highly skilled network of studio talents to call on, I can deliver outstanding results in a very enjoyable and efficient way.
