The Famous Gold Watch - AudioVisual Studios
Description
Beautiful and affordable, The Famous Gold Watch is a professional recording, writing and production studio in Berlin. Contact us for prices or more info. The Famous Gold Watch is a recording, filming production and writing studio in Berlin, founded by Universal Music Publishing composer and artist Cameron James Laing.
It's a boutique studio, equipped with high end audio and audiovisual equipment for making your albums, EPs or music videos come to life at the top level, but for a fraction of the price of a typical studio. Located in a quiet artist community (the European Creative Centre) on the edge of the city but just 20 minutes from Alexanderplatz on public transport, our little network has it's own cafe, garden and a small farm, so artists can take nice long breaks hanging out with the sheep and peacocks after soundcheck before getting into performance mode.
We also specialise in live music videos, either in our beautiful and completely unique Green Room and Red Room, or on location - in our garden, by the bonfire, out of town - anywhere you choose.
We believe an artist should have a warm and cosy atmosphere to work in - as if it was their own strange little creative home - and we've gone to painstaking detail to provide the perfect aesthetic, service, equipment and instruments for musicians to enjoy the recording process and deliver the performances, as well as the quality, the songs deserve.
Our pricing and working hours policy is designed to benefit the artist more than the business - daily rates are as affordable as can be found in Berlin, and the working day runs as long as we can still stand up and our ears are still functioning.
To speak with one of the studio team or for more information, contact Cameron Laing or Jaime Molleda via FamousGoldWatch@gmail.com, or send us a message through this Facebook page.

Exciting news from The Famous Gold Watch - we're building a new live room, giving us over double the space of the current studio - it's going to be a lot of work and no doubt a lot of blood sweat and tears but it's underway! Here's a video teaser we shot in the rubble of the construction site with James Clayton whilst he was in Berlin finishing off the last bits of recording for his forthcoming EP 'Avalene' Our in-house Director Jaime Molleda and debutant camerawoman Viktoria Bychkova enjoyed the extra space to move around in that's for sure, and we can't wait to get the room finished, treated and beautiful - so watch this space!
The next installment of Michael Brinkworth's brilliant live session here at The Famous Gold Watch.... is HERE! Check out this little beauty, recorded by six exhausted and sweaty buggers at midnight in the Red Room. Directed and edited by our in-house movie machine Jaime Molleda, audio recorded and mixed by our in-house cat whisperer Cameron James Laing.
Alan the Studio Cat, living life on the edge. But in other news, we're building a new live, bigger, better and badder live room - we'll be posting some test shootings we've done there soon, using the natural reverbs whilst it's still a construction site. Stay tuned!
November 13th, we have drum superstar Gidi Carmel in the studio with a full prepared drum setup so musicians can come in and get access to one of the best session drummers around for your tracks. The dollardollar is just 30 euro per hour, which includes the recording studio, engineer and of course Gidi himself. Get in touch to book a session if you have songs which need great drum tracks!
We had the wonderful Hannah & Cash here in the studio for a video shoot recently, accompanied by Daigo Nakai and Chikara Aoshima - here's the first off the press, a bluesy beastly beauty called Bittersweet. As ever, Directed/recorded/edited/mixed by our irrepressible in-house team of Jaime Molleda and Cameron James Laing. Enjoy! https://hannahpearl.net/ http://facebook.com/hannahpearlmusic
Exhausted, but excited to finish James Clayton's single at 6am this morning with Andrew Pegram and Ben Wuyts - hence the obligatory champagne guzzling for breakfast. Check out James online or come down to the release party tomorrow night at Spud Bencer in Warschauer Strasse, where James will play his forthcoming EP and some new material, supported by Georgie Fisher and Cam Hassard (plus some guest appearances by The Famous Gold Watch's supreme overlord). https://www.facebook.com/events/124410818276083
