The Overlook

Musikhuset

 

The studio is located in the middle of central Gävle. Right next to the trainstation. Litterally.
It's based in the top corner of what used to be an old sailors church, built in 1891. The building is magnificent, and the access to a view from both live-room and controll-room is great. All the facilities you could ask for is within walking distance.

The Overlook houses a semi-large Control room with a comfy hang-out section at one end, a hall that multifunctions as TV-room, a toilet with a shower and a semi large studio room with window to the control room. We also have a multi-chanel split that runs to the big live-hall down stairs. This gives the possibility to record in a huge room if required. The hall used to be the main church hall, but now serves as concert-hall for up to 350 people, with a stage, bar section and a balcony.
