Recording & Mastering studio of Keith Cleversley

Producer of many innovative bands such as:
The Flaming Lips, Spiritualized, Mercury Rev, Hum, Flickerstick, Verve, Posies, and more.

I moved to a small seaside town in California in 2010 to fly more often and to pursue my own music.
I found clarity after building my own airplane. Now, I continue to clarify my own truth and work to live my life as fearlessly as I had dreamed.

I’m available for Mastering Projects using a unique 100% online system and workspaces at Wavefront Mastering as a way to stay connected to the music that’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

Testimonial 2

We weren’t sure what to expect as the pictures of the studio are quite intense and colorful. We all stayed at the studio, with more than comfortable accommodations, and had the unexpected pleasure of being able to make music whenever we felt like it. Whether it was after a morning cigarette and coffee, or a session in the middle of the night, the studio is set up to make music 24/7. Oh yeah, and you’ve got Keith at the helm, steering the ship towards that three-dimensional controlled chaos that results in a sonic landscape that makes you believe music can be heard as moving pictures. – Colfax Abbey

Testimonial 3

What’s there to say; it was Keith Cleversley’s and his studio all the way, complete with his signature sound and style. We ended up having a blast while we were there and walked out with music that pushed us past our limits at times, but with songs that sounded better than we thought we were capable of creating. You haven’t had a proper studio experience until you’ve worked with Keith. – Turnerjoy

Testimonial 1

We worked with Keith over the course of a year on our album. Despite the randomness of our sessions, we ended up with an album that holds up listen after listen. Keith pushes you, but never too hard, he understands music in a way that helps extract the sounds we hear in our heads, and he helps translate that into a sound that unfolds in layers over repeated listenings. We couldn’t be happier, and hope the Playground and Keith continue making records for a long time to come. – Absinthe Blind
