Musicians. Make sound choices.
About AS
A song can transport you to a place deep within. It’s extraordinary and doesn’t happen every day. When it does, it’s magical. There’s goose bumps. Elation. A sense of wonderment. But there’s no one road to get there. So you may need help or direction along the way.
A solo guitarist—monster player—gets tasteful polish and mastering on the tracks for his latest album. The guitarist is in Florida. The sound engineer is in North Carolina.
A songwriter in Pittsburgh grooves to his larger-than-life drum track. Starts out sounding like a drum machine. Ends up sounding like a primeval John Bonham groove.
A stunning lead vocal track for an in-house original was recorded in Australia then mixed in our studio. Sounds like a tight, well rehearsed actual band.
Aural Sculptura’s remote-friendly music production makes it possible.
You won’t find that elusive, magical place on a map. Music arrives at the soul like an Uber its destination. Ready to continue your journey?
Sound choices. You know what you want. We are all ears.

Historical Tidbit
Odeon of Herodes Atticus
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone theater structure located on the southwest slope of the Acropolis of Athens, Greece. The building was completed in 161 AD and then renovated in 1950.
This striking, ancient edifice still hosts live shows to this day. In this photo, Sting performs during his solo concert on June 22, 2018. His performance was part of the Athens Epidaurus Festival 2018.
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus inspired the distinctive look of the Aural Sculptura brand.
