Studio Journal — Spring 2026

The Curtis Schwartz Studio Journal brings together stories from recent sessions, recordings and mixes at the studio — from YES’s new album Aurora to classical sessions, Dolby Atmos work, piano recording, and new projects with established and emerging artists.

These are not adverts or press releases, but a look behind the scenes: the people, the process, the atmosphere, and the small decisions that shape every recording.
