And Finally... Woolly Mammoth is a real studio in terms of design and execution. Acoustically balanced, controlled, yet reactive musically. Plenty of space, sight lines and comfort, not some bunker without air or light. Hope you can check it out and make it your creative home for a project sometime soon!

All the best,
