We are focused on the highest quality acoustics in sound recordings of live ensemble performances of art music in our studio. BeHip Records is a partnership of Christopher Alpiar and Sean McLeroy and we also teamed up with mastering engineer Larry Anthony. We are based out of the world class 800 East Studios in the Old Fourth Ward section of downtown Atlanta. Our mission is to preserve art music a
nd to be a proponent of the continued proliferation of it. And through that to remind the world, as we collectively go deeper down the rabbit hole of technology, that music is an organic human event about truth, emotion, spirituality and the human condition and something best created live and not with a computer ;-)
Most of our recordings are done live at our studio at 800 East, with no isolation, editing, overdubbing, or any treatment other than recreating the natural acoustic setting of the room we are in. Think of BeHip recordings as a capturing of a live performance and less of a produced studio sound. This lets us capture and preserve the truth in the music, as accurately as possible - what was happening at *that* moment as a natural and organic event, rather than a large post production to create magically perfect music. Bands and artists able to thrive in this setting are of the highest caliber and their music has been wonderfully captured in a setting of high quality approach to real live music. We hope you enjoy our work!
