The studio
A place built for playing, not for showing off
The studio occupies the ground floor of a 19th-century Lyon building, set back on a courtyard. We rebuilt the three rooms as a "box within a box": floating floors, double doors and acoustic treatment sized for each use. The result is a quiet space where you hear what you play, without listening fatigue.
“We would rather get a good take than spend ten hours fixing one. Our job is first to put musicians in the right conditions, then to capture what they do.”
Camille Vernet, managing director and sound engineer
