The studio
The Black Sun Audio studio is located in the city of Aarhus, Denmark, in an area called Sydhavnen which many other creative outlets call home: music studios, theater collectives, painters, designers, architects, etc.
The studio consists in a mixing room and a recording booth. The recording booth is for smaller recording setups with a maximum of 1 or 2 performers. For larger setups such as full drum kits, I use a different studio space for the length of the project.
Studio address:
Jægergårdsgade 156R
8000 Aarhus C
Denmark
About me
Besides working as a producer, I'm also a musician. So I know very well that feeling of sitting in the recording booth while everybody expects you to finally nail that final take of the day! Therefore I also do my best to make you feel comfortable when recording at the studio, and help you get the best out fo your skills.
I've been playing in various bands over the years, either as full-time member or live/session: Horned Almighty, Glorior Belli, Temple of Scorn, Gespenst, Woebegone Obscured, Sunken, Black Dementia, Dwell, Drab, and a few more. As a live performer, I was lucky to perform on some nice stages such as Maryland Deathfest (USA), Summerbreeze (DE), Graspop festival (BE), Brutal Assault (CZ), Motocultor Festival (FR), Metal Magic Festival (DK), SPOT Metal festival (DK), Aarhus Festuge (DK), Doom Over Vienna (AT), Autumn Souls of Sofia (BG), and many more.
