About Oranjudio
Philosophy
Oranjudio is an independent recording studio that specializes in recording musicians in an open floor plan environment, not unlike the natural perforamative setup. When building Oranjudio we aimed to create a space where the atmosphere can take on many different forms, while acting as a creative shell for the artist. As an independent recording studio, Oranjudio also promotes quality over quantity, investing in relationships with artists. Recording sessions are viewed as a collaboration that produces not only something the artist is happy with, but also a product that strengthens Oranjudio's portfolio.
Mission
To provide a professional environment that suits both commercial and personal audio. To allow freedom and creativity to take precedence over pre-conceived practices/notions. To provide clients with an experience as well as a product.
