Sound Design & Special Effects

We are field recording specialists and can capture six simultaneous audio tracks with portable recording gear. We have a good mic locker of stereo and shotgun microphones and blimps for field recording. We also have industry standard vocal microphones and can record voice overs. Djembe Studios does audio post production to make the most of the captured sounds.

Our Sound Design and Special Effects projects are used in the game industry, television for tv shows and commercials, and the movie industry in indie films.

Contemporary Jazz

Djembe Records is also a Digital Jazz Producer. We do Jazz - Contemporary, Lounge, Smooth, Latin, Urban, Rhythm & Jazz, Nu Jazz, Ambient, Chill, Acid Jazz, Electronic Jazz, Jazz House, and Bossa. Plus Traditional Jazz, Blues and Fusion. It's all Jazz to us! Our goal is to create Contemporary Jazz that is interesting to listen and perhaps even dance to. Djembe Records puts the DJembe in Jazz!

Our first relase, entitled Back to the Future, features an interesting mix of songs from the 1920's done in traditional and very contemporary versions, including dance. We will have two or three version of each tune on the CD. It is expected to ship mid 2011.

About our name

A Djembe, pronounced pronounced JEM-bay, is hand drum originating in West Africa. The unique goblet shape of the drum shell allows a wide range of tones that can be produced by the djembe. Kind of like what we do! More information on the djembe is at Wikipedia.

Audio Resources

We also have some original content posted, which will be of use to other recording studios. We have an extensive collection of .reabank patch banks for the REAPER DAW. Plus some links to interesting and free software. This will be of use to musicians, students and anyone interested in audio recording. Many of the applications are quite good.
