The (Re)birth of Sphere Studios Los Angeles
Presenters:Francesco Cameli
Megan Milius
Abstract:
Award winning engineer/producer and studio owner Francesco Cameli with Studio Manager Megan will present the journey to create LA’s newest large recording and mixing studio; Sphere Studios Los Angeles. After 13 years in London, Sphere Studios recently made the journey across the pond, closing up shop in the UK with plans to reopen in Los Angeles. Though Sphere’s location has changed, Cameli’s studio philosophy remains the same as it has been from the beginning. “I want to create a space with state-of-the-art equipment but in an environment where the gear melts away and leaves a comfortable vibe that allows clients to express themselves freely and perform to the best of their abilities,” Cameli says. “L.A. is full of talent that converges here from the entire planet, so to me and my clients, [the city] offers the inspiration and the resources necessary to make great records. In that respect, Los Angeles is truly unique.”
