GaluminumFoil Productions

06/15/2015

Almost 9 months since finding out that the original Galuminumfoil was going to have to relocate, we have some very exciting news to announce. The plan all along was to build a bigger and better version in a new location. After seeing over thirty properties, I finally found the right fit as part of a large warehouse in Bushwick. Minutes (Literally) after our lease got finalized by my attorney, I received a text message from Joel Hamilton asking me if I'd be interested in partnering with he and Tony Maimone at the fantastic Studio G. I was of course flattered and shocked. In less than 24 hours Tony, Joel, and I came to an agreement on how it would all work.

In short, I am now, humbly, a partner at Studio G Brooklyn. Galuminumfoil Productions, which includes my two dear friends, Jeff Berner and Gary Atturio, will remain intact and operate exclusively out of Studio G Brooklyn. As currently configured, the facility consists of three, fully operational recording studios, and by the end of the Fall will boast an additional overdub and mixing suite. As amazing as the equipment and the rooms are, the most exciting part about this is the collection of people working under one roof every day.

There will be many more details and a full on-line makeover for both Studio G and Galuminumfoil in the coming months. Thank you all so much for your support over the last ten years at the old location, and we look forward to, hopefully another, even longer run at our new location.
Sincerely,
Chris

TEAM SPIRIT

One of the last sessions at the original location. Awesome, garage band from Brooklyn called Team Spirit. Check it out! http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/team-spirit/

The garage rock outfit Team Spirit offers a visceral slice of dampened vocals and ringing guitars. Former Passion Pit keyboardist Ayad al-Adhamy fronts this melodic, yet adrenaline fueled proto-punk band seamlessly blends the appeal of pop rock with the harsher drum beats of the band’s self-describe…

Happy New Year!

We're still working very hard to find a new space - please keep your fingers crossed! In the meantime, we'll be open until the beginning of February.

It Is with heavy hearts that we announce the closing of Galuminumfoil Studios. After almost ten years, our landlords have decided to sell the land and knock down our building to build housing. We could not be more grateful to all of you who have spent your hard-earned money to make music with us over the years. It has been an honor and a privilege. Jeff, Gary and I will continue to make records and work out of other studios around town while we regroup and, hopefully, build a new studio. As most of you know, real estate prices in New York have risen astronomically over the last decade, so it will be difficult to find a new space. But we're trying.

There are too many of you to list everyone's names, but if you’ve ever spent a dollar, had a beer, or played on a record with us, watched a small concert in the live room, slept in the tiny crawlspace above the control room, lifted a hammer, hung insulation, graffitied our gate, lent us a drum set, or just said you love the smell of the wood in our space, we have one thing to say:

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Chris, Jeff and Gary
