“He had the most equipment that I've ever seen - every synth you can imagine and huge modular setups… I think there were 1,100 modules and counting!”: Studio designer Jim Keller on Martin Gore’s studio

Martin Gore.

From plugging your gear in, creating your tunes, to listening back to the results, there is nothing that beats producing your own music… when everything is running smoothly, that is. When things go wrong in the studio, there can be nothing worse, nothing more soul-destroying than having a great idea and not being able to convert it into sound. 

Jim Keller knows this well. After working in studios like Avatar in New York and with recording icons including Bob Clearmountain, he and his company Sondhus have become the go-to studio problem-solvers for the likes of Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore and the distinguished Juilliard School in New York. Incredibly different projects but with the same goal: to make a space that is comfortable, creative and inspiring for music making.
