Sonic Vista Studios

Sonic Vista Studios is a recording studio located in a 400-year-old Villa in the hills of Ibiza, Spain . Sonic Vista offers services such as: audio recording, mixing, mastering, remote recording, music production, voice-overs and overdubs.

Founded by L.Henry Sarmiento II, Sonic Vista Studios officially opened in November 2004. Conceptually, the studio was created around two main influences: Chris Blackwell's Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas and Rick Rubin's "The Mansion" in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles. The objective was to offer artists an escape from the noisy city life as well as an inspiring location to create music.

The studio's first client was Hideo Kobayashi from Tokyo, Japan in 2004 who needed mastering for his album "Yellow Diamond".

In 2004 Apple's iTunes needed mastering services for their "iTunes Exclusive" releases and with a list of songs that needed to be polished before releasing them on iTunes Store. These songs were written and performed at Sy Klopps Studios in San Francisco, California by artists such as Goldfrapp, Bloc Party, Flaming Lips, Cat Power and Nouvelle Vague.
