PINKMOON
STUDIOS
Pink Moon is a residential recording studio and creative escape based in the South of France, in the Haut-Languedoc National Park. Here in this secluded, relaxed atmosphere, it is easy to switch off and immerse yourself in a magical space for writing and recording. The nearest airports are Beziers, Carcassonne, Montpellier and Toulouse, making the studio easy to reach from the UK and southern Europe.
The studio was founded by Johannes Saal, a fantastic songwriter-musician, producer and engineer, based out of Funkhaus in Berlin. Relocating in 2016 Johannes built the studio with his own hands from a ruin, on the edge of a mountain overlooking the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees.
His wife Daniela and friends continue to run Pink Moon Studios as a unique recording space, where musicians and song-writers can come to escape, create, record and be inspired as Johannes always intended.
Daniela Saal is an actress and screenwriter from Berlin and was heavily involved with many of her husband's musical projects.
She is in charge of the studio and will be your first point of contact. She will be happy to answer any of your questions and arrange all details of your stay.
Owen Pratt is a producer/engineer who has spent the last 20 years running commercial recording studios in London & Liverpool.
In 2008 he founded Flesh and Bone Studios in Hackney which operated for over a decade, recording artists as diverse as Sonic Youth, Jeff Mills, Arca, and Omar Souleyman.
Perpetually fascinated with all facets of the art of recording he maintains a keen interest in electroacoustic composition and instrument design.
Paul Lappin is a singer-songwriter originally from England. He has known Johannes since the early days of Pink Moon Studios. They regularly recorded and performed live together.
Paul now works alongside Owen to make sure the studio is set up to your individual needs. He is very familiar with the surrounding area and would be your local guide, bringing you to and from the local airports.
