Hey, folks! Here's the perfect soundtrack to your Sunday quarantine happy hour, a private concert from Synthesizer Goddess, Lisa Bella Donna. Throw a few bucks down for the Moogseum! Enjoy

RIP, Neil Peart ;(

Are you a KEITH EMERSON fan? Here's the backstory that explains how his Moog and Hammond organs ended up at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Have you seen... this exhibit yet? We're halfway through the run, so get your move on! It wraps up on October 1st and then his gear comes back home to us. :) See more

Hey there! This is Drew from Philly Sound Studios. Are you into vintage amplifiers, effects and synthesizers? After Mariano and I closed up the studio, I took the position of Director at the nonprofit Electronic Music Education and Preservation Project. I invite you to check out our Facebook page and stay in the loop by giving it a 'like'. If you like historically significant vintage gear, you'll love EMEAPP!

We're exited to have BRONNIE here and you're invited! She'll be performing live and doing a meet & greet, come on down and enjoy.

We’re closing up shop. Mariano Mattei and I have decided to close down Philly Sound Studios to pursue new and exciting business opportunities. While we had a blast with the studio, life has taken us into new and exciting directions. I am looking forward to resuming my worlds of music production, studio design and music education, please contact me directly if you would like to discuss your project. Mariano is going full-bore with his new venture in Point Breeze, Mattei Fami...ly Pizza. He is working it hard, providing Molise-style pizza and other awesome Italian delights to a voracious fan base. Stop in and grab a pie, it’s delicious! The studio will be operating through July 19th, so get your projects done while you can! Send us a message to book time while this amazing studio is still together. I will be selling most of my gear, console, amps, mics, Steinway, Hammond, rack gear, stands, cables, etc, message me if you’re interested in anything. Thank you for years of support and for bringing such amazing music through our doors, it was our honor working with you! - Drew Raison

What a tough month. RIP Bob Gordon, he was a great intern both here at Philly Sound Studios and Big Sky Audio. Your humor was epic and love of music strong. Our hearts go out to his family, friends and workmates. :(

5,000 likes, THANK YOU! :) We are proud to be a part of the vibrant Philadelphia music scene, we thank you for your support. :)

Lots of video and photo shooting happening over the past few days, including this setup for Meri Merola from Ravenna, Italy. And it was all live! Great job by Mariano Mattei, assisted last night by Colin Vaughan.

How exciting to walk into the studio and see this monster in action! It's music video shooting time, powered by this RED video rig on a big jib. Can't wait to see some of this footage! Mariano Mattei is at the helm, providing backline and the multitrack live recordings of the full band and vocalist. Gonna be a stunner!

Happy 1 year anniversary to our Trident Vector console! It was tough to let go of our beloved Neve V55 desk, but what what a great choice! This vintage 1986 monster really upped our production game, especially on complex sessions. Special thanks to super genius Jeff Chestek for the beautiful installation and to Kostadin Kamcev for bringing her back to life. Extra props to George A Hajioannou of Studio Logic Sound for encouraging us to go for it!

Talk about retro atmospheric tones! This is a Jerry Jones Coral electric sitar with sympathetic strings and a buzz bridge. The amp is an early 1960s Gibson RVT 79, it is STEREO and has an uber-creepy reverb! This pair is twangy, syrupy and thick with a unique vibe. Try them out on your next visit!
