... far more than a project studio, we're a lodge, a mastering facility, an indie label (ver 2.0), a music publishing and mp3 download site, a CD shop , a rehearsal venue and an events coordinator situated just outside Knysna on a farm in rural paradise. Click for instructions on instant buying from this site.
A good place to start on any recording is to choose a room with a sound right for your project and creative people to help you realize your potential. The naturally good acoustics in our recording rooms have been balanced with bass traps and reflective phase-graters to faithfully track loud and soft ensembles alike. Add to that a friendly network of engineers, technicians and session musicians (if needed), with know-how to optimize your project on its path from tape to publishing, and your well on your way.
We have a variety of direct to disk recorders, analogue tape recorders (2", 1" and 1/2" tape), quality microphones, instruments and gear to materialize your project. So whether its a jingle you need, an album you want to record/publish or perhaps sound for film and video we can offer an inspiring space and a creative team to make it happen. Dan Patlansky's video for 'Come and Play' Peace of Eden's Summer Sessions 2009
The 2009 16th December Peace Party (Summer Sessions) was a great success, with some 750 happy people passing through Peace of Eden, spreading good vibes and energizing Greenpeace's environmental awareness campaign. Loads of people signed up to get membership. Once again we were blessed with great weather and our extensive efforts to make it an all-weather event with some 3840 square feet of stretch tent weren't really necessary, but the shade was great. Comedians Rob Van Vuuren and Martin Evans filled the band change-overs with hilarity that appropriately poked fun at all things green. Musically the day was incredible diverse, from soft acoustic acts to hard-rocking bands. General consensus on the highlights were Gary Thomas, his singular style amazed people and his performance would have made a mark at '69 Woodstock nog al! Brent Kozak rocked with his brand of lyrical satire and guitar ditties. The Abbott network were unbelievable together, a polished sound that smoked from the first tune to the last but it was Tidal Waves that stole the show. These guys used every bit of the 23 kilowatts of sound we put on stage and the mix was utter perfection with a huge low end kick coupled to the bass as it should with reggae. Lekker Lekker Dans transcended, then stretched into a hypnotic groove that had everyone rocking. Next year bigger and better things are planned and we hope to introduce the first international acts with the help of Greenpeace. more info here. Musicians on the Garden Route is expanding Nibs van der Spuy, Tony Cox and Sacred are artistes who's CDs are about to join our Musicians on the Garden Route series.
