ABOUT NEW MONKEY STUDIO

Good friends Joel Graves and Robert Cappadona purchased New Monkey Studio together in August of 2004. They bought it from the family of the late, great Elliott Smith—a former acquaintance of Joel's and a musician he deeply admired. At the time of Elliott’s death in October of 2003," Joel was in a band with several of [Elliott's] then-current bandmates, and it just felt right to try to keep the studio alive. Over 15 years later, we are still going and proud to share our space.

The centerpiece of the control room is our Triad Trident A-Range, believed by Malcom Toft to be one of the first three of approximately 13 of these legendary desks that were built in the early 1970s at out of Triad / Trident Studios UK. Our hearts might be all analog, but we have bridged our vintage hardware with modern digital workflow via a pair of UA Apollo x16 interfaces (running Pro Tools HD and Ableton Live 10, with complete UA plugin suite) and a trusty Mac Pro cylinder.

You can book time in the studio or you can book our award winning engineers via our online mixing or online mastering service.
