A treasure of a studio that Albuquerque is lucky to have…read more Matthew at Empty House is serious about his work and generous with his time while operating quickly and efficiently. A man with a sharp ear for sounds, high-quality studio gear, and an understanding of what ideas will translate to the listener made for an excellent experience for me and my band. His focus is on helping the artist make kick-ass music while seeing their creative vision through. As a result, our album came out far better than we had hoped for. It's something we are truly proud of thanks to Matthew. Long live Tambocop the Truthteller.

People ask me why I travel to Albuquerque to record music when I live in Nashville, and the answer…read moreis pretty simple: Empty House Studio is an incredible space to bring songs to life. Owner Matthew Tobias is a seasoned music pro with a wide range of experiences in both live music and studio recording. He's a creative producer who loves songs just as much as he loves sounds, and he works hard to ensure that each song gets just what it needs. He's also a great drummer, and he's got an awesome community of talented friends/musicians in ABQ who can swing by if you need something. One last thing: Matthew is a good guy. He cares about people even more than he cares about music, and that makes working with him a really meaningful experience.

I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the Zoom Event for Head Over Heels. The process to get me…read moretickets to the event was super easy and several people reached out to make sure I had all the information to view the event. The show consisted of a variety of acts, plus 3 women who were the emcees of the event. I think the emcees had more fun than anyone!!! Because of the way I logged in, I was able to comment on the acts, which in this new world, made me feel a little like I was there. There was even an act that requested audience participation, and it was fun to see others chiming in. I must say that this isn't my favorite way to see a show, but I totally admire all the participants for putting their all into the show.

Without getting too involved in the history of this company, which likely isn't why you're reading…read morethis review, I want to say that I first encountered this theatre company back in, oh, maybe 2009. Two founders of Duke City Rep, Amelia Ampuero and Frank Green, made cordial, friendly small talk in the black box of North 4th about how they'd chosen Albuquerque as their home because they felt our city was the perfect hatching ground for a more mature theatre scene. Green, in particular, struck me as a passionate dude with a "look" that stuck, he was simultaneously wily and steady, the kind of guy I wanted to see on stage. Since that time they've filled their resumé with winning productions at The Filling Station and the polished, Union-supporting company, The Cell. This year I had an opportunity to catch their Halloween thriller, "Night of the Living Dead". Set in a basement during a zombie apocalypse, Duke City Rep managed to suspend my disbelief for the better part of 40 minutes. I finally got to see Green in action, too, and he didn't disappoint. This company has the gritty, ambitious feel that founded another Burque performance ensemble, Tricklock. There's no time like the present to catch this crew in action -- they're gelling and connecting, there's an energy on stage that typically won't stick around too long, that's just the way the theatre beast rolls; like bands that get signed to major labels, eventually that chemistry splinters. So right about now, you're looking at a really good garage band, you best see a show.

I didn't have time cause things came up but honestly this is a great studio, the tour was amazing and they offer many other things for music videos and do camera work aswell. They also have a green screen room which is really amazing. Thank you for being informative about what you guys do, it's cool you guys have a stage too. I'll eventually go back some day to order some time or for a music video but amazing place to definitely check out if you live in Albuquerque, no other music studio in Albuquerque i liked more than this. Amazing store, great owner, love the gear and it isn't too expensive either an hour for how much they got there, good value and the free tour was very helpful. They showed me around and I really enjoyed seeing what they have to offer, thank you for the awesome experience and your help.
