“So many recording studios are hostile environments…we wanted something different, a space that invites creativity.”

“We have a huge array of analogue equipment here – our respective practices are rooted in the analogue – [because] the rhythms of analogue are much more in keeping with the nature of our projects.”

“On a sonic level, the buildings where we perform almost become another instrument in the ensemble. Each site has its own particular reverberation and frequency fingerprint. I’ve always been drawn to the idealism behind modernist design.’

- MAX RICHTER, COMPOSER
