Dear Artist,
Verdant Sound is a private studio and residence on a lake in the Catskills. Recently this was six acres of virgin land. We designed and built it from the ground up through five years of love and care, and one guiding conviction: that the best creative output comes from a place of abundance.
What you see today is that vision realized. Every room, every detail, every decision was made to amplify one central experience: the unique feeling of making music while looking through a wall of windows over a pristine body of water.
Every instrument and piece of gear was held to that same standard: hand-picked specifically for the best artists in the world, running vintage analog alongside modern digital without compromise.
This is our first season. We cannot wait to hear what you make here.
