The studio is run by engineer, musician, producer, and enjoyable person, Kenneth M. Piekarski. They have been producing and recording sounds in around the Pacific Northwest for over seven years in basements, practice spaces, and weird places.
When not playing drums on tour or in a session elsewhere, Sheridan Riley is keenly working as our junior engineer.
Weird Signals is nestled inside of the Woodland Theater, a multi-use artist space that was originally built as a local movie theater in 1926. Over time it has taken on many names and uses but has remained an arts and music space for almost three decades.
The studio features a 16’ tall ceiling (good for drums!) and a open floor that's great for recording groups and individual performers. If more isolation is desired then there is the option of separating sound with acoustic baffles or utilizing a few small rooms attached to the main space.
The control room is a cozy and warm room featuring a mix of modern and vintage recorders and outboard equipment. Read the full equipment list below.
Weird Signals has both hourly and day rates both of which include an engineer. Day rates are 8-10 hours depending on the energy of the engineer and the schedule of the studio. We have a different rate for outside engineers.
For hourly sessions there is a 3-hour minimum.
