Maestro Fung @ StarMount Studio

One day away from his flight back to NYC, Fung Chern Hwei graced StarMount Studio with his latest composition " When She Spread's Her Wings". It wasn't the usual acoustic setup as we're dealing with Distortion Guitars, Effected Violin and Cello and to fit all in one room with the maximum isolation. Challenging session, but beautiful music made it all worth it.

One Thing - Faris 'aka' Freeze @ StarMount Studio

We had one of the youngest client in the studio during the Raya Month. "Coolest Faris" aka "Freeze" was here for his recording of " One Thing" by One Direction. It was amazing to see how well prepared and well composed Faris was throughout the session. It was definitely an inspiring recording session for everyone in StarMount Studio.

Pop from HK @StarMount Studio

We recently held sessions for a pop music project from HongKong. The production team brought in their own U87 and SSL 4000 Channel Stripe for the project. Its definitely an exciting moment as there aren't many SSL consoles around in KL and we got to use the real channel stripe rather than using the plugs.
We had Lydia and Rui Ping on the backing vocals, tracked with our faithful sE3300 into the Neve Porticos. Gary Gideon, highly acclaimed sessionist in the pop scene, talendted Ken Chung on bass.

We also had 7 piece strings section, 4 violins, 2 violas and 1 cello. We had the SSL Channel strip on the cello. We're surprised as we paried JZ V67 with the channel strip and the sound was solid, especially on the low end of the cello. The violas tracked with U87 through Chandler TG2 amd the violins tracked with sE3a pencils into Neve Porticos.

We're here for a better tomorrow

Musicians, singer songwriters, producers gathered in StarMount Studio for one cause. A better tomorrow. We're recording songs to express our love to the country and future generations. Have it saving our heritage (Jalan Sultan), saving the environment ( against rare-earth processing plants in Kuantan) or saving ourselves ( for a more transparent society). After all, Its great and rare to have so many artistes into the studio at the same time. Most importantly, everyone was having a great time and good memories are left in the studio...

Shining Star

Masters at work

Great folks! 

Heritage must be preserved

For green peace!

Time to change

Playing it right

Taking it seriously

Together we stand

Doing our part for a better tomorrow

Even its late at night...

Every note counts

No voices were left behind!

We just want harmony

More Strings and Movie OST@ StarMount Studio

We've been doing quite a lot of strings lately, here's one meant for an upcoming movie OST, composed, arranged and also produced by Qahhar. He brought in strings players and also the bubbly and powerful (voice) Heela Monica to StarMount Studio. Ok, we can only disclose this much information for now :)
