Recording Space

The studio space in located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Matt is conveniently right off the 45th St. R train which is easy to get to from the express stop at 36th (DNR). Take a look at some of the pictures below. Matt’s goal with the space was to create a warm, comfortable, and quiet place to play music. Matt has an extra footstool or guitar support you can use if you prefer not to bring one with you, music stands, acoustic amplifier, and a few seating options to choose from.
