Studio LFO is a place apart, far from the imagination of a traditional recording studio. Located in an old farm in the Basque Country, it has been designed by Katia Labèque and David Chalmin. By their imagination was born a special place where architecture, aesthetics and comfort are as important as the quality of the recording equipment. It 's a Studio that brings inspiration, a place to create.
The main room (about 130 square meters) with 8 meters high ceilings has a great sound with natural-sounding reverb suitable for live footage and in particular of classical music or soundtracks.
A particular feature of the studio is the presence of two Steinway model D concert pianos, chosen carefully by Katia and Marielle Labeque.
