Live Recording Sessions
One day in the studio.
One hand-cut, mastered lacquer.
LIVE RECORDING SESSION
Experience a live studio recording session at the heart of Newvelle, Eastside Sound in New York City. You'll spend the day with world class musicians in the studio as they record a completely new project and partake in a recording master class with Marc Urselli, GRAMMY Award–winning mixing and recording engineer.
Following the day in the studio, every participant will receive one hand-cut lacquer sent to them of the fully mastered tracks recorded that day. A priceless record unavailable for sale, these lacquer are each hand-cut by Newvelle’s mastering engineer in a delicate process that etches the audio-signal-modulated groove onto the surface of a special lacquer-coated disc.

“A unique experience. The day combines the spontaneity and play you’ll know from live performances with the (likely less familiar) engineering work that’s necessary to faithfully render what happens in the studio. It changed the way I listen to jazz records.”
--Steve Satterfield
