MUSIC PROJECTS

Studio Apparatus is not like a conventional recording studio. We are involved in a lot of different music projects - from producing and engineering complete albums, to artist production and synthesizer or vocal recordings. Check out our services page for all the things we love to do. 

 

Being musicians ourselves we know the drill with writing music, recording and performing, so we'll be able to help you out with all of that.

ALBUM/EP RECORDINGS

A full album or an EP is like a story and recording it means you need to think about your own story and how to tell it. When I think about the story behind a recording David Bowie immediately pops to mind. That man could bring a whole new tale to the table with each new album, including the change in image, performance and his appearance. My challenging but exciting job is to help you transforming your songs into much more than just a recording, by guarding the chosen framework: sound, vibe, genre, release platforms, etcetera. 

 

Below you can find some of the projects I've been working on as a producer, recording engineer and/or mixing engineer.

SYNTHS & KEYS

My love for synthesizers and keys has grown very strong over the years and as a result of that my synth and keys collection has expanded. From vintage gear to newer models and even a synth of my own design (Majella Implexus). 

 

So if you need a gritty bass line I could fetch my Korg MS10 for you to play it on your next track. Maybe you'd like to add a bit more warmth to your production with my Korg Polysix, or you're aiming for icy sounds from the DSI Poly Evolver. You could send me your midi files so I can record the synths for you, but If you'd rather have me playing it for you, that's also possible. In some cases you might even want to come down to the studio and record it yourself. Great! Just let me know what you're looking for.

GEAR

As I've said before, Studio Apparatus is not like a traditional recording studio, so please don't expect us to have all the same equipment like Wisseloord or Abbey Road, ready for you to sound like your favourite artist. It's not all about the gear in Studio Apparatus, it is about how we are going to use it in a creative and authentic way that suits your music best.
