Not open to visitors
Founded by Baptiste Melileo in a lane of old Clarens, Byron Studio occupies a vaulted cellar dating from 1640, fitted with an isolated recording booth and a mixing control room. A plaque at 8 Rue des Artisans recalls that Lord Byron stayed there in 1816, and that Alexandre Vinet died there in 1847. The studio offers recording, mixing, mastering and mobile sound capture. Like most recording studios, the place is not open to visitors: it works by appointment.
A studio to make styles meet
Baptiste Melileo, alias Lune
A producer and sound engineer, Baptiste Melileo composes under the name Lune. He conceived Byron Studio as a place for mixing styles and meeting, to encourage collaboration between artists: most of his own projects were born with others. He has composed for the dancers Dakota and Nadia as well as for Voldo and Cooper, and produced tracks with the singers A.W.A, Kally Rey, Kay Yoko, Divine and Veeqz, enjoying bringing into his pieces musicians from different genres.
The studio occupies a seventy-square-metre cellar, in three rooms: a production and recording space, a corner for small concerts and a bar. The idea is to let artists compose, record and arrange their music, then, in time, to programme small concerts by regional artists every two weeks, in a warm setting and in direct contact with the audience.
