KavekavityKavekavity picks and chooses it projects based on the fickle interests of the studio owners Derek Morton and John Coursey. We specialize in CD mastering, surround sound mixing and DVD authoring however we can offer full recording services for electronic projects or bands that have small setups. Although we like to think that we are open minded, we tend to favor avant garde, sound art, noise, improv or anything weird and electronic. There are plenty of quality studios out there that are more than happy to make you sound like the next top 40 star. We are not in the business to make commercial "radio-friendly" music and if you are... please avoid us at all costs.
