About

The Electric Tree House is located in Bedford MA and takes its namesake from the beautiful natural scene surrounding the studio and visible through the windows ringing the facility. The Tree House consists of a large live room and adjoining control room, both designed by Lou Clark of Sonic Space, with isolation and recording options located throughout the building. The place was built with flexibility, performance and great sound in mind. The studio is a hybrid analog-digital setup, utilizing ProTools as the center of the recording process with a host of analog gear utilized for pre-amplification and sound processing at different stages of the creation process. Oh - and it sounds great!
