London Bridge Studio is a recording studio near Seattle that has hosted and recorded many influential artists, producers and engineers since 1985. Founded by brothers Rick and Raj Parashar and now currently owned by producers Geoff Ott, Jonathan Plum, and Eric Lilavois. The space was designed by notable studio designer Geoff Turner (Little Mountain Studios, Pinewood Studios) and features 5,000 square feet (460 m2) of tall ceilings, hardwood floors, brick walls and live acoustics.[1] Layout of the studio includes live rooms, a control room, overdub suites, and a lounge with full kitchen.

History

edit

Seattle's surge to musical prominence in the late 1980s and 1990s stemmed largely in part from albums recorded at London Bridge Studio. Influential bands of that era such as Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam launched the studio into international notoriety. London Bridge continues to be a creative mecca for artists of all genres.

The studio's iconic Neve 8048 console has been well maintained and restored, alongside an added SSL AWS console, an expansive mic locker and outboard gear collection. London Bridge has also expanded into orchestral, video game and television audio recordings.[2]
