recording at lumen


Recording is one of the reasons why people start making music. Classic studios past and present- Abbey Road, Electric Lady, AIR, The Hit Factory- are all synonymous with albums and artists right through the musical canon. Set apart from the instant gratification of the gig, studio recording is an iconic process that captures the essence of your musical project at that particular moment. While the live show is obviously important, it's in the studio that you get to leave your sonic footprint. For every 100 greatest gigs list, there are at least 2 best 100 albums lists, and the importance that great artists attach to leaving something permanent and recorded shows that it is not something you should leave to chance. The magic of the professional studio comes from its ability to capture the detail you put into your craftsmanship, the studio, holding a mirror up to the band & letting you analyse & listen to your work.
