Position
We do not treat a recording space as neutral. Every release begins with a location scout before it begins with an arrangement.
Our catalogue is deliberately small. Nine releases in four years, each one tied to a place that no longer works the way it used to.
Capabilities
- Album production
- Original score for film & stage
- Site-specific recording
- Analogue mastering
- Vinyl & tape manufacture
- Live performance design
