Soundhammer Studios is an open floor environment. We purposely did not install permanently closed rooms and fixed walls between the artists, not even the engineer. The reason for this is pretty straight forward once you hear it. You see, music gets its life from not only the impact of the sounds that are around us, but also the visual and physical collaboration of that moment and that time. The impact of live sound bouncing off of us moves our emotions. The ability to openly communicate the feelings and display our visual appreciation with each other while we work, is an important key to the process. We ALL have to feel it, and we all have to believe it, especially the engineer. Hence, I've created a special environment that allows us all to enjoy what is happening with fewer walls and partitions and a more open floor. It's no secret that the best engineers know the goal of recording is to not just to capture what the client does, but to facilitate the creation of an experience.
