Visconti Studio’s second Winter School: PURE ANALOGUE WITH CHRIS KIMSEY – Apply Now!DEADLINE EXTENDED!! The Visconti Studio Winter School is a week-long practical recording & production workshop. The 1st Winter School was held in Feb 2017, where 10 lucky participants worked alongside Tony Visconti to produce a track with the band Artbreak. It was a great week, you can hear the results in the video above and read about what happened here. Our next PURE ANALOGUE Winter School will take place from the 11th to the 15th of February 2019.

Participants will also receive on-the-job training from our in-house analogue experts Rob Plummer & Ebby Acquah. During the week you will learn and practice the skills and tape-based workflow associated with the legendary sound of 1970s-era 24-track recording. The week will cover sound engineering, tracking rhythm sections, orchestral percussion, vocals, strings and horn overdubs.
