The Studio
Polyphonic Recording is a welcoming, peaceful, creative space in the heart of Cornwall.
It's a beautiful space to work, equipped with the finest microphones, instruments and outboard equipment, and run with care and attention to detail, Polyphonic caters for most recording needs, whether full band, strings, vocals, overdubs, or voice-overs.
I also work with a mobile recording rig so am available for sessions wherever needed.“A peaceful and relaxing space is the best environment in which to make music.”
After many years working as a session musician in other people’s studios, something I observed is how a lot of pro recording studios can be quite intimidating environments for new musicians.
This doesn’t make for the best space to perform.
Playing music can be a vulnerable experience, and it helps to feel encouraged, listened to, and understood.
I’ve learnt from my experience through the years that the most important part of a recording project is the performance itself; not the tech or the virtuosity, although they play a big role in capturing the sound at its best.
If the equipment is great but the performer feels uncomfortable, then we miss the point.
