Producer, mixer, engineer and recording artist Ronan Chris Murphy, founder of Recording Boot Camp, announces the second annual Mountain Recording Retreat, a five day, rustic luxury retreat for music recording lovers and engineers, to be held May 7-12, 2017 at Capon Springs, West Virginia.
The all-inclusive Mountain Recording Retreat will gather recording enthusiasts at the resort, where engineers and experts can learn from each other, share meals and leisure activities, and gather with others in an intentionally casual and social atmosphere designed to foster creativity.
This year’s retreat will feature a series of workshops and panels by leading professionals in the industry as well as sessions of intense, hands-on DIY recording equipment building workshops.
One of the featured panels will be: Behind the Scenes of Video Game Audio, with Mark Kilborn, one of the audio director/sound designers for Call of Duty; and John Rodd, music engineer for games such as World of Warcraft and Star Wars Kinect.
Ronan Chris Murphy, who recorded and mixed the music for Mafia III, will moderate. The DIY Gear Building workshops will be presented by Peterson Goodwyn, owner of DIY Recording Equipment. Engineer Brad Smalling will host listening and feedback sessions with the mentors of attendee’s work.
“The Mountain Recording Retreat is designed so that engineers and any lovers of music recording can gather together in a classic mountain retreat reminiscent of the days gone by at summer camps, breathe fresh mountain air, share family-style meals, leisure activities and technology in a casual and enjoyable social atmosphere,” says Ronan Chris Murphy.
The five-day Mountain Recording Retreat is all-inclusive, and package prices include all panels and workshops, accommodations, three all-you-can-eat meals a day and activities including Par 3 golf, the spring water pool, tennis courts as well as taxes and gratuities.
Costs range from $1,697 to $1,797, and attendees who register prior to March 14 will enjoy $300 off these prices. Incidental materials fees in the DIY workshops are extra. More than 75% of attendees from last year’s retreat have already registered to attend this year, and space is extremely limited.
