About Me

check out my website
i am a recording studio located in warehouse in a strange little industrial pocket of north portland, oregon. founded in 1998 by adam selzer (of norfolk and western, and a recent touring member of m. ward's band), i am currently run by four engineers: adam selzer, jason powers, jeremy romagna (of the infamous and now-defunct portland robot steakhouse), and dylan magierek (a recent bay area emigrant, former part-owner of closer recording in san francisco). i recently underwent a surgery of sorts...and now i've returned, much better than before.
