Harvestworks’ Studio is designed to accommodate an artist’s messy process with a polished outcome.
At Harvestworks, artists at every stage are encouraged to use the studio and its vast array of accompanying resources. The space is built to accommodate experimentation, collaboration, and naturally, a little mess along the way.
The design of Harvestworks’ control room and recording room was donated by Walter-Storyk Design Group and designed by John Storyk. The same team behind the iconic Electric Lady Studios, which has hosted some of the biggest names in music, from Jimi Hendrix and Patti Smith to Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift.
Some features of the studio include…
- 7 Channel movable mixing speakers allowing artists to curate the setup however they desire.
- Dante audio system for easy transition between users within a session.
- Completely non-parallel walls and curved ceiling for reduced reflections.
- Designated video and audio editing room.
- An array of analog and digital recording equipment.
- Raised recording booth.
