REVIEWS

"Working with Will at Greystone Zurich Studio was the most relaxing recording experience I’ve ever had. The room is so warm and comfortable, it was a joy to step into the studio each day. He has top quality equipment and really knows how to get the best sound. I was extremely pleased with his clear and timely communication habits and his collaborative ethos. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the song we produced and I look forward to working with Will again."

"Dude it sounds amazing. Thank you seriously from the bottom of my heart."

"I recorded a disc of instrumental guitar arrangements of Grateful Dead music with Will Phillips at Greystone Zurich in the summer of 2022. He was so very supportive of my desire to get everything just exactly perfect! Many of my arrangements are improvisatory in nature, so this necessitated recording many takes of the songs in order to get things 'just exactly perfect'. He was able to seamlessly splice different performances together and capture my artistic vision on record in a manner that represents how I might perform these works under the most ideal conditions on a really good night. As the recording progressed, the songs spoke to me in a new way that begged for overdubs, despite that I had originally planned a solo guitar cd. Adding new color with other instruments became an intuitive process and allowed the music to breathe more naturally. Will was thorough and patient, and helped see this to the end. I am blessed with a recording that I feel proud of, and have captured the moment in time in a way that will bring pleasure for many years to come."
