Outside at Moon Music Studios

Moon Music Studios/Studios/Outside

Outside on location

Some music sounds best outside the studio. We pack our microphones, preamps and cameras and set up in the room where your music belongs.

The room is part of the sound

Stone walls. A wooden floor. Five metres of air above your head.

You play together, in one room, like you would for an audience. We record the players and the space around them, on audio and on video, and mix the session back at the Moon in Maasbracht.

From a solo pianist to a trio or a full band, we bring what the room needs.
