Instead of the droning of sirens and crashing of dump trucks, we’re now surrounded by the call of the wild. The acoustics in the new space sound fantastic and there’s been a nice equipment upgrade, records will sound better than ever. In addition to mastering, we’re also adding audio services for artists and interactives, and post-production sound for films. Come visit, and inquire about our cabin in the hills!

It’s a fine film essential set in an old Parisian town house that only a playwright could pen.

“Despondent New Yorker Mathias Gold (Kevin Kline) ventures to Paris with plans of liquidating the apartment inherited from his late father, but runs into an unexpected roadblock when he discovers that the flat is currently inhabited by his father’s former lover, an elderly Englishwoman named Mathilde Girard (Maggie Smith), and her adult daughter Chloé (Kristin Scott Thomas). “

I mastered the soundtrack at Spleenless Mastering which will be out shortly. It has a gorgeous score by Mark Orton.

It’s currently in limited run theaters so check it out if its playing near you.
