The Recording Forge

The Forge Recoding Studio

The" Forge" is the concept of artist Cord Rawlinson. It is a network of businesses dedicated to an artistic community. The recording studio has 16 live tracks and many, many more for mastering or electronic production Although the studio arrose out of necessity for the promotion of bands that I was managing, I will make recordings for people who meet the proper criteria:

1. They pay me (a strange popular myth has arisen: that recordings simply grow on trees or require no resources to produce and hence are completely free to the artist. It actually consumes resources to make a recording and I only want the artist to cover the cost of those i.e. power, and ADAT tapes, pens and paper, and maybe something for the tremendous amount of work and time that even a small demo takes to produce.)

2. They are cool. (since I don't charge enough to make it worth my time or investment I have to enjoy working on the project).

So, if you are interested...get me interested in your project and we will talk price!
