A short walk from the house is the recording studio, a 2,500 square foot building, naturally lit by large picture windows that frame the landscape, with five acoustically isolated recording areas including an acclaimed live room and a spacious control room. It is an entirely unique and peaceful work environment that is extraordinarily conducive to creativity.
Pachyderm is outfitted with the best in recording technology, both analog (classic Studer tape machines) and digital (Pro Tools HD3 Accel), supplemented by the best of the old and the best of the new supporting outboard equipment. The centerpiece of Pachyderm’s control room is a classic Neve 8068 recording console.
While providing an intimate recording atmosphere, the studio features a large live room, three isolated recording areas, and a granite room.

Pachyderm Preservation Project Mission Statement
The Pachyderm Preservation Project is in support of saving old growth forests from development in southern Minnesota. Old growth forests are at the minimum of 120 years old. By raising money for the project, we are not only saving forests we are guarding against destruction of future changes in the natural land. As the Pachyderm Preservation Project grows we will purchase land with the intent of keeping it in its natural habitat along with sustaining itself financially on an eco-friendly basis.
