Celebrating
25 years of history in sound excellence
Welcome
to Skywalker Sound, home of Titanic, Jurassic Park,
E.T. and Star Wars where gifted terrestrials are spotted
recording daily!
Most
recently the score for Hellboy, the Grammy Award
winning recording for The Kronos Quartet and
Vanessa Carlton are just examples of exception
recordings coming out of the world-class facility.
The score for Spy Kids and Smashmouth
were also recorded at Skywalker.
Located
30 minutes north of San Francisco and 15 minutes from
Hwy 101, Skywalker Sound is a world away from
conventional studio recording. The Scoring Stage
was originally designed for film score orchestra recording,
but the architects added unparalled flexibility allowing
the studio (stage) to be used for any type of music.
The walls have moveable panels that allow the reverb
time to go from 3.6 seconds to .6 seconds.
