2025
2024
July to December
With the drums and percussion for all the tracks in the box, Bruno set about writing the bass lines for all the tracks. At the same time, he continued to develop the studio, adding a few accessories for acoustic processing, and acquired additional equipment such as an SSL mixing console, an Arturia midi keyboard, a digital Mellotron, Neumann and AKG microphones, Beyerdynamic and AKG headphones, and so on.
March to June
The project is back on track. Bruno is back on track and concentrating on what is certainly the most time-consuming part of the project, the recording of the drum and percussion tracks.
February
February 17, Bruno's father passed away. Following this painful event, Bruno takes another break. The project will resume in early March.
January
Slow resumption of the project. Bruno gets back into the project, but on the dotted line, as he visits his father regularly.
2023
July to december
There are still ten or so tracks to be pre-mixed. But Bruno had to put the project on hold to look after his elderly and sick parents every day and liaise with doctors, nurses and social workers. His mother died of cancer on 27th October, and at the same time his father was hospitalised. As his father was unable to return home, Bruno set about finding him a nursing home. On 18 December, his father was finally admitted to a retirement home. Bruno was very tired from the work, and took advantage of the festive season to rest. The project will resumed at the beginning of January 2024.
June
Bruno continued pre-mixing the tracks throughout the month. New partners have joined us to support our project.
May
The last adjustments for the acoustics of the studio are made, the studio monitors can finally be calibrated.
The arrangements of a first title are completed.
April
The mixing console has arrived and is already purring. For this one and after careful consideration, Bruno chose an SSL Big Six console.
March
To improve the ergonomics of the studio and avoid damaging the various cables for instruments, microphones and other studio equipment, Bruno installed these under the ceiling. This makes it possible to walk freely in the studio without the risk of catching one's feet in them and damaging them.
February
On this beginning of February, an Orange Rocker 15 amp has just entered the studio, it will complement Bruno's Mesa Boogie Express.
Bruno is concentrating on the arrangements of a first track, bass guitar and drums.
At the end of February, the new monitors arrived and were installed, Bruno finally made the choice of Adam Audio A7V monitors.
As with our good old pair of Behringer monitors, our partner Cuir & Sellerie (Leather & Saddlery) made us a pair of pads, as well as custom protective covers (logo Bruno Arts®) for Orange and Mark Bass amps which are sold without.
January
After a break for the end of year celebrations, the course of the project resumes with in particular the continuation of the improvement of the comfort and the acoustics of the studio and the purchase of a new pair of monitors in addition to the existing ones, a mixing console, a guitar amp, cables, and so on…

November
Margot and Bruno re-listen to all the acoustic guitar tracks in order to clean them up. At the same time, Bruno prepares the studio for mixing: analysis and treatment of acoustics, manufacture of custom-made sound absorbing panels, bass traps, and so on…
As part of our partnership, Cuir & Sellerie (Leather & Saddlery) made us superb pads in ultra-high density foam dressed in black leatherette and personalised them with an embroidery of Bruno Arts®' logo.
