   About FLOWER STUDIOS



Attention artists, bands, labels and producers!

 
Looking to record/mix your stereo or 5.1 surround sound project at a pro facility located in one of the most beautiful and artistic communities in Southern California?

 

Wish you could find a relaxing and inspirational place to get away from it all and just be creative?

Flower Studios can help!

Just ask a few of our recent clients.

RECORDING / EDITING / MIXING /
5.1 SURROUND SOUND

Flower Studios (formerly known as Zircon Skye Production) is an audio recording, editing, mix and production facility recently acquired by Greg Penny, renowned producer/engineer/recording artist (well known for his Grammy® award winning work with k.d. lang, Elton John, Cher, Paul Young, Eddie Reader and a host of others) as well as an independent record label (Flower Records) located in the beautiful artistic getaway Ojai, California (USA); 70 miles north of Los Angeles. The studio is 5.1 surround-sound capable.

The control room, fine-tuned by master acoustician George Augsperger, features classic and vintage analog recording equipment (like our 2” 24-track Studer A80 MKII, Solid State Logic (SSL) AWS 900, and Neotek Elite mixing boards) alongside a fully equipped and up-to-date 192kHz Pro Tools|HD 4 Accel digital system running on a dual-processor Mac G5, tons of great plug-ins, and rock-solid Apogee Big Ben 192kHz Master Digital Clock. Flower Studios also offers mains playback on massive DynAudio M3's driven by a state-of-the-art Lab.gruppen PLM 10000Q power amp; near-field and 5.1 surround system (ADAM S3-A monitors, Genelec 7070A Active Subwoofer, Martin Sound MultiMAX EX controller) playback; and the Aviom Personal Monitoring solution which gives our clients total headphone mix control while tracking. We've also added a t.c. electronic M6000 w/ remote Icon interface for outstanding audio sweetening.

Our main tracking (1) and isolation rooms (1, 2, and 3) are each set up for optimum functionality and a unique sound. So whether you need an acoustically tight treatment for vocal overdubs; a high-ceiling open room for recording a string ensemble or capturing that “killer” drum sound; or a MIDI/sampler/looping station packed with great gear from Kurzweil, Arp, Vox, Wurlitzer, Roland, Alesis, Electrix, Yamaha, and Hammond complete with a networked iMac powering a 96k Digi 002 Pro Tools rig, Flower Studios is well-equipped to meet your needs. (We can even help find session players.) All of our guitars, amps, keyboards and drums are available for your use as well!

Follow these links for a complete equipment list and pricing structure.

Greg Penny and Flower Studios' staff engineers/producers Ken Eros and Jeff Evans are dedicated to helping you realize your ideas and projects in the most creative, professional and timely manner possible. Past clients James Stroud (DreamWorks Records), David Bianco (Tom Petty), Bauhaus, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, MTV Networks, Nickelodeon, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Ed Kowalczyk (Live), Simon & Schuster, producer/engineer Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones), producer/engineer Bruce Botnick (The Doors), Brett Dennen (Dualtone Music Group), Robben Ford (Yellowjackets), Perla Batalla, and Izzy Stradlin -- to name just a few -- have all enjoyed our services.







 


WELCOME TO OJAI

Just 70 miles north of Los Angeles, 40 miles south of Santa Barbara, and 20 miles north of the beach in Ventura, the Ojai Valley features activities and experiences available nowhere else.Ojai post office - photo courtesy Rob Clement (www.rashneon.com)




Nestled within sun-drenched oaks and blooming groves of citrus, olive and avocado trees; Ojai hosts a magnificent climate, an East/West running mountain range, natural beauty and awe-inspiring views that are legendary to the artistic community that loves living here.

Flower Studios is located just blocks from acclaimed mastering engineer Doug Sax’s new Ojai location for The Mastering Lab, and the downtown area. At the center of town is a Ojai fountain at Libbey Park - photo courtesy Rob Clement (www.rashneon.com)Spanish-style arcade enclosing a wide variety of shops, cafes and art galleries, as well as a beautiful fountain, pergola and civic park, all bearing the name of Edward D. Libbey; a wealthy glass manufacturer who successfully set out in 1914 to further enhance Ojai’s reputation as "...a dream city of soft harmonies, smooth flowing lines and warm colors."

We invite you to visit our valley and take in all that it has to offer. While you and/or your clientsOjai stream - photo courtesy Rob Clement (www.rashneon.com) enjoy the benefits of our state-of-the-art studio, let the serenity of Ojai relax and inspire you to focus on nothing but your art. Besides handling all of your audio needs, our capable staff can guide you to local food/lodging, art/music supplies, entertainment, surfing, hiking and exercise for the mind, body and soul -- or just a place to hang out and chill.

Come experience why we love to live and work here.

Hi. Just letting you know I'm back in the studio recording the next two albums.
Details on the Max X Blogs.
I won't be able to answer many myspace messages for the next few months, so please be patient with me.


Quantcast Things have been going great! With the help of some internet radio play the site is up to 10,000 Fans! Yay! Shooting to release new stuff at the beginning of the 2009. Hope you're well.
