Located in the town's centre, 5 minutes from the train station, in the oldest warehouse district du Flon. This is where the most diverse cultural activities abound (clubs, concert halls, cinemas, theatres, art galleries, FNAC, etc.). The recording studio is made up of a set of vaulted cellars 4m high with the total surface space divided into 5 areas as follows :
The 120m3 control room
The main recording studio is (160 m3) designed to accommodate a jazz band, string or brass ensemble
Booth N°1 is a 60 m3 isolation booth guaranteeing a clear, natural and full sound, ideal for isolated instruments especially drums
Booth N°2 is designed with a particularly sound-absorbent ceiling to capture completely neutral sounds
We still have an additional 120m3 depot equipped with 12 microphone lines for amplifiers or direct recording with a « garage style » sound
The wholly acoustics were specially developed by
Chris ANET.
The antique exposed stone walls with their uneven design, the ceilings treated to absorb excess bass and ensure an even treble distribution as well as the positioning of large reflecting panels offer modular acoustics of an exceptional quality.
Glass partitions separate the various areas, allowing the musicians to have eye contact while playing. A modern air conditioning system adapted to the specific needs of a recording studio offer optimal comfort for sessions during any season.
Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.

From the beginning, I knew intuitively that if nothing else, music was safe, and that nobody could tell me anything about it. Music didn't need a middleman, whereas all the other things in school needed some kind of explanation.
