nomad sound engineering, videomaking and storytelling Hi,

My name is Kevin, I’m an independent sound engineer.
(2)

In March and April 2015 I toured Europe, in a way that I had never experienced as a musician. I packed a car with the minimal gear I needed to record music, and embarked on a journey to discover new places and music, meet people and give them the opportunity to record music for free. 33 bands in 33 days. Inspired by sound explorers who travelled to distant countries to record music from cultures c

ompletely unknown to them, I realized that modern music has reached such a pinnacle of diversity that such an adventure could be lived - right outside my doorstep. With a focus on DIY culture, I met people who believe in what they do, not in a financial way but a creative one. From those who simply play music with friends to those whose entire lifestyle revolve around their project(s), rejecting concepts such as dayjobs, careers, etc. I filmed fragments of the adventure and uploaded short daily webisodes about my trip, and edited a full length movie/documentary completed with interviews of the various music activists I met on the road. In August 2016 I took my concept back on the road, focusing this time on Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and a few off-topic sessions on the way to/back from Scandinavia), and had my friend Ragnar Ólafsson come with me. We chose to record less bands all in all but to give each and everyone of them a filmed recording session. From 2018 onwards a new chapter opens: Islands, here we come.

I haven't used facebook in years.
How does this work?

Did you know we were in the Faroe Islands again a few weeks ago? No? Well, we were! We recorded A LOT of people.

Some sessions, and some concerts too! This was one of the latter, and we hope you'll like it as much as we did.

Ok I know it's long overdue but read some chapters of the book to me and even though I might be drunk i can tell you it fu***ng rips. So... Bear with us like you've done for years now. It'll be there, and when it does I hope you'll be as happy as I was when I heard it.

Happy new year folk. We have plans for after the book.

Brainworx & Plugin Alliance supported Recording Europe very early on. We are forever grateful for that.

They got hit really hard by the terrible floods in Germany and most of their gear is damaged or dead. Including their Neve desk.

They did not have flood insurance because the area is not considered at risk. So if you're into audio and need plugins, consider helping them out!

“Dear Neve VXS 72. We had an amazing run of almost 12 years! I loved your look and your sound from day one. I learned a LOT from you, and we even got a patent together (TMT, US Patent No. 10,725,727). We captured your sound for eternity, so that's that. But... it's time to let you go... and build the Brainworx Studio of the future.” – Dirk Ulrich

Our Story

Recording Europe is an ever-evolving concept based on the idea of a nomad recording studio that tours Europe to record and film bands. So far 72 bands in 11 countries have worked with us.

But beyond recording images and sounds, Recording Europe is about telling stories.

We told such stories in the past through a documentary, video sessions, vlogs and an upcoming audiobook (expected in December 2018) From 2018 onwards a new chapter opens, as we will go back on the road to meet and record more people, produce an audiobook and keep on doing our best to put quality musicians and inspiring humans under our humble spotlight.
