[edit] Philosophy
This is a statement written by owner Brian Zieske.
"At the Gallery of Carpet we believe that every band has different needs when it comes to recording. There is always an appropriate Tone for every instrument...for every voice: warm, bright, clean, etc. There is always and appropriate Feeling to be captured, this is how we help the artist represent his/her musical and emotional vision; this is what will make your recording distinct, this is what we pride ourselves on at the Gallery of Carpet.
Just like a painter who may use many select tools to create a recording with color, texture, and depth; a recording that represents your unique vision. With the right tools and an atmosphere where the artist feels comfortable, the creative possibilities are endless.
At the Gallery of Carpet we aspire to inspire, and your recording is your art, as well as ours."
