Hollow Body Studios:

Hollow Body Studios is located in Newton, MA just 20 minutes from downtown Boston, within 90 minutes of Hartford, CT and an hour from Worcester, MA.

Hollow Body Studios features truly classic vintage and modern tube & non-tube condenser, ribbon and dynamic microphones along with legendary tube and solid state pre-amplification, equalization and compression. Hollow Body's collection of both rare vintage and modern recording equipment offers a unique experience with remarkable results and proven success. We create truly warm, dynamic, and professional recordings for our artists.
(See our Gear List.) Songs recorded and produced at Hollow Body Studios have appeared on major network television programs and garnered a ton of national and international radio airplay. (As of 2/17/11, our featured artist Luis Moreno is charting at # 17 on the STS indie chart and # 10 on the STS Prime Mover chart with his song "Burden", ahead of Maroon 5, Pink and JLo.)

Songwriter, producer, lead engineer and owner Doug Kwartler has been recording music for almost 20 years. Over many years, Hollow Body Studios built a reputation as leading recording studio in the Long Island, NY area, recording both local artists and bands and songwriters from other parts of the northeast and mid-atlantic region. Even early on in the studio's history, artists took notice and would remark that songs recorded by Doug at Hollow Body were different than most local recordings because they "sounded like real records." In late 2009, Doug and his family moved from Long Island to Boston, MA and Hollow Body Studios "Boston" was opened soon after. Now with much more space and even better gear, Hollow Body Studios continues to record artists not only from the Boston area, but songwriters and performers from New York, Philadelphia and even as far away as Michigan who travel to Hollow Body to record as well.

"I promise to put as much blood and sweat into your recording and production as you do into the writing of your songs." - Doug Kwartler
