Finally, a Downtown Studio without the ‘Downtown’
Toronto is home to many of North America’s finest recording establishments. Names like Canterbury Sound, Noble Street Studios, Phase One, Number 9, and Revolution Studios are internationally known and recognized. And for many people unfortunately, they’re inconvenient and/or expensive. But until now, if you wanted state-of-the-art recording technology, architecture, and especially a great piano, there weren’t many alternatives.
Merriam Productions was a vision by Alan Merriam to solve that problem, and bring the best of the recording industry to Oakville, Merriam Music’s home-base. And as with many of Merriam Music’s initiatives, this was going to be one for the history books. Piltchner & Associates were brought on as the design team, and they completely reimagined a cavernous and previously unused portion of Merriam Music’s Oakville campus. This was the design team responsible for Revolution Studios in Toronto, as well as some of the world’s finest studios from India to New York, Nashville to Los Angeles.
Technology was amped-up considerably: Studio A was outfitted with a full touch-screen DMX lighting system, a custom 192″ LED HD stage panel, and entirely acoustically treated floor-to-ceiling. The control room, Studio B, and the Iso-room was purpose built and designed from the ground up using the finest acoustic woods, panels, and glass.
The instrument was an important choice as well – Alan Merriam personally hand-picked the Shigeru Kawai SK6 and had it installed into Studio B, while upstairs in Studio A, pianists have their choice of any instrument in the Merriam Pianos Showroom.
