Nautilus Recording Studio, Tuscany, Italy

Nautilus Studio

The Studio was born as a personal studio in the early 2000's and gradually incremented its instrumentation and know-how through the years. I employed an entire life to set up this studio because actually I started out with a MIDI system in the 90's, this space and a couple of guitars! But now I have the instrumentation and the know-how to produce great music without limits. "Producing" is not enough, "Producing Well" is important. Today we can produce high quality masters that can go from blues, quality pop and jazz to classical music, music for films, theatre and documentaries. "ART IS A FORM OF ETHIC AND ETHIC IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MONEY" Massimo Pierini ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HI-QUALITY MUSIC TO SYNC WITH YOUR GREAT NEW PRODUCT? We own a large database of original copyrighted songs and instrumental music that can be used for synchronization purposes with hi-level video production. So if you really need cool original music that nobody else has... well you are in the right place. If you only looking sof stereotypes and music that monkeys other existing music you may be not exactly there. Differently from others I believe that independent production must be (also technically) of high quality and compete with mainstream producers. That dows not mean that it must sound the same... too many things sounds the same out there... but it must sound good. The studio is equipped with the state of the art pieces of instrumentation and offer the best mix of warm-vintage sounds and cutting-edge technology. All the compositions will be performed by (not just professional musicians but) professional artists like myself (at least for guitars, bass, piano, organ, drums, occasionally helped by my qualified collaborators, and my brother Paul which is also an engineer. I personally select my collaborators in order to guarantee for the best quality. Typical studio activities: songwriting, arranging score production and "teaching material" of immediate use for the performers digital audio recording and editing (comping) post production: mixing, mastering publishing (on digital platforms) moderate promotion (I am not a professional of promotion so I mainly use socials) video creation and publishing All musical languages represented: swing, rock'n'roll, boogie-woogie, surf-rock blues, soul, gospel, country, roots Americana, British pop, reggae, latin music jazz (swing, be-bop, songs and instrumentals) progressive, psychedelic rock, any other rock form and language indie, alternative ambient music, etno music, experimental music classical (for ensembles), musica da camera
A FRIENDLY OASIS FOR COLLABORATIONS After reading all these information you could eventually think that our productions will cost you alot. Not at all ! LOCAL & LONG DISTANCE PRODUCTIONS ! if you are an experienced performer, Just deliver your rough tracks in and I'll do the rest! Prefer to travel and benefit of a side by side collaboration with the author? That's always a great idea!
