In the Mezzanine with Carolyn Sloan

Award-winning author and composer Carolyn Sloan brought an excellent group of musicians to our NYC Mezzanine studio this past month for a recording with staff engineer Marc Frongillo. The ensemble included a string quartet with flute, oboe, french horn, and clarinet.

With our Mezzanine’s spaciously high ceilings and precise acoustics, ensembles can record naturalistic group performances and add any additional desired spatial effects (reverb, echo, etc) in post, for a controlled approach to classical-style recordings. As with all recordings made in the Mezzanine, the session was tracked through our SSL 4064 G+ console, with some of the outboard gear inserted for a particular tone.

You can listen to some of Sloan’s previous work here, and watch the same space in the future for these recordings!
