For the second edition of Deciphered, New York–based synth-pop trio Prinze George came to our converted Carriage House studio to collaborate on a new track with world-class engineer and Soundtoys superfriend Ariel Borujow. Lauded for their multilayered synths, hypnotizing vocals, and fusion of analog and digital sounds, the band inspired us to build a unique studio that featured classic instruments and synths from our collection, alongside purpose-built effects stations designed to put control of select vintage gear into the hands of the artists.
With a sketch of a song produced in their home studio in hand, the group explored the sonic possibilities of the gear with our engineers and began to build upon the original vision. Over the course of three rugged Vermont winter days, they discovered new sounds and moods while writing, recording, and fending off the weather with red wine and whiskey. The result was “Dividends,” a gorgeous hybrid of analog and digital sounds that bloomed into a cinematic pop anthem with the help of Ariel’s direction over the session.
Deciphered: Artists In Residence is a series designed to make our classic analog gear collection, our team of engineers and gear-heads, and the creative workshops at our Burlington, Vermont headquarters available to adventurous artists with unique perspectives on sound, creativity, and technology.
