Hi, I'm Cory Gehrich and this is my recording studio. This page will serve as a brief introduction to who I am to give you a sense of what it will be like working with me. I won't refer to myself as a "team" or overly use the word "we" to make myself seem mightier than thou. That's just not my style. I'm just a humble musician with a love for recording audio, striving to provide excellent service at affordable rates, in a comfortable and inviting space. 

​

I got the music bug at a young age. My older brothers both played music and would give me tapes and CD's of Black Flag, the Descendants, the Germs, TSOL, etc. Trust me, as a young kid I thought I was really cool. When I was 12 I started a band, whom I would end up playing with until I was 21. We gained some steam in high school and would get placed on bills opening for national punk and metal bands. Ah, the glory days...

​

We recorded our first demo when we were 13 and went on to record a handful of EP's and full lengths at various studios in San Diego. That's when I first really got the bug. I always loved performing, but recording was something else. Something that felt really special. It was like burying a time capsule, but instead of digging a hole on the weekend with your khaki-shorts-wearing-dad in the backyard, we were hanging out at a studio on school nights with adults who were smoking weed, drinking beer, and chain-smoking cigarettes. And coffee, lots of coffee.

​

I started going to community college, bouncing around to four different schools until finally transferring to UC San Diego, where I got a BA in Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts. Sounds pretty fancy but basically my time there was spent studying computer music programming and audio engineering - hunkering down in dark rooms, far far away from any natural lighting. After that I did a Master's at Mills College in Oakland, getting an MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media. There, I focused more on composition and continued DIY recording all over the campus, setting up makeshift studios wherever I could.

​

And now here I am, providing the Portland music scene with a comfortable space to cut demos, EP's, LP's, and sharing my knowledge and love of recording through lessons and instruction.

​

I look forward to working with you! <3 Cory
