BlackStar is coming.....


This summer, A new star will emerge from the darkness....

BlackStar Studios is an independent recording company based in the South Galway area. Using our portable sound recording system (and our even more portable sound mechanic), we can record a local concert or event. We then edit and master the recording in our home studio using the latest technology. All this within 2 weeks. Not bad, innit?

We also record demos for any budding artists interested in getting into the business. Once post-recording editing is complete, clients then have the option of having their tape dispatched to radio stations in the area. [copyright pending]

Interested? E-mail openmicsoundguy@aim.com with details and a rough recording for a quote.

Stand by and get ready for BlackStar, Ireland's newest recording alternative.

The website is based on the Saturday Night Live sketch when Christopher Walken plays a producer obsessed with cowbell.

I had a go and here's the result.......

Song used is Poker Face (Rock Version) originally made famous by Lady GaGa, but played to a new level of brilliance by Russian YouTuber Aleksey Vanin. Original video is below.
