The newly opened Wilderness Studios
Austria - An Audient Nero has joined songwriters and producers, Felix Brunhuber and Florian ‘Flo’ Fellier in their newly opened Wilderness Studios, nestled in the Austrian Alps. Realising a dream to establish a studio with “the best sound imaginable”, the boys have taken inspiration from the natural beauty, vast forests and vertiginous mountains of their homeland to create a “creative oasis”.
Together they are ‘Wild Culture’ and have clocked up over 80m streams across all the usual platforms (YouTube, Spotify and Soundcloud). As such, they know exactly what they need to put together their own “unique, high quality productions” and reckon now is the time to share their inspiration with the wider world.
Carefully specifying their audio gear to suit the 33sq.m main studio space, their experience as artists has helped them curate the perfect area for visitors to feel “free and creative”. They explain, “Wilderness Studios is designed for productions, recording top liners, singers and bands as well as for mixing and mastering. Up to 8 people can work in the main studio.”
They have paid careful attention to all elements, from temperature control and lighting to create the desired ambience, as well as getting the sound right. “With our big Neumann system comprising KH870 and KH420 controlled by the Audient monitor controller we have the perfect sound to write, produce, mix and master music.”
Describing Nero’s part in the overall setup, Felix says, “The Nero is used as our main monitor controller and is a central part of our main studio. The super smooth control knob and the ability to use the built-in talkback system are extremely useful, but also the simple and hands-on layout of the Nero is very effective in our workflow.”
The main studio is part of a larger, 800sq.m complex based in an old industrial warehouse building dating back to the 1900s. Bringing urban design to the Austrian mountains, Wilderness Studios is surrounded by untouched nature and even has its own fresh mountain spring water source.
Designed to cater to all manner of creatives, the studio rooms are complemented by a 400 sqm loft space, chillout zone & DJ booth, an airy band & event area, bars and even a kitchen. Ideal for individual producers or larger groups such as songwriting camps, the interior room design can be customised and bring the most individual concepts to life.
