Celestial Event Studio

Situated in the heart of Antwerp, close to the central station.

Sint-Erasmusstraat 3
2140 Antwerpen

It might not be the most fancy looking recording studio you have ever seen. The ceiling isn't even painted.

But guess what, that doesn't affect the sound.

I built this whole thing myself from scratch. ​ This means that sound was the most important consideration in every part of the process.

And that the room has a ton of MOJO.

The master at work

I have been recording music since 2009. I started in my bedroom and have slowly worked my way up to realizing my dream: my own, proper recording studio.

Slowly upgrading my stuff has lead to me really knowing all my gear in and out. Some of the equipment I use today has been with me for 10 years or more.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

You have written these songs that you know are good. Now do you want to spend as little time and money as possible to record them? Will this give you a result that you are proud of? Do you think this will help you stand out in the flood of bands releasing new music every day? It might! But if you work with me, I guarantee that it will give you an edge.

I will use all the skills that I have acquired through 20 years of playing in bands and 15 years of working on music to make your music THE BEST IT CAN BE.

To make the end result really amazing you have to understand that WE WORK ON THIS TOGETHER. If you are willing to invest the time and effort to get the most out of what you have, then I assure you that we will make something that you can be proud of.

Remember that the music that we make together is not going anywhere. Do you want something you can listen to and be proud of for the rest of your life? Then let us work together to achieve that.

If you are interested to see the projects that I have worked on, most of them are on my DISCOGS page.

Its simple. In my opinion, this is the best value for money deal for recording you can get in Belgium and maybe anywhere.

€150 (excl. taxes) per day.

Includes me as engineer.

We start somewhere between 11-13h. 1 day lasts about 7 hours.

I have a lot of experience and dedication, but decide to give my services away almost for free. You can profit from this apparent lack of judgment on my part!

Mixing: Gladly! I love mixing, especially stuff I recorded myself, but all other things too.

Prices for mixing depend on the project.

Please note that it is not possible right now to attend a mixing session. This because I don't have the right space for it and my creative peaks come at strange times, so I might be mixing at 11 in the morning and then again at 3 during the night!

I considered typing out every single piece in my mic locker here, like most studios do.

Then I thought, man, does it even matter?

What you need to know: I have enough mics to mic whatever you bring and I have the knowledge, experience and determination to make it sound great.

Good enough?
