being somewhat of a technical geek, max has designed and built the small but competent and well-sounding studio bsg in hornstull. it has a strong focus on vintage instruments and gear, combined with high-end digital recording equipment and great acoustics. studio bsg is run together with long time friend and colleague mikael sundin.
when not making music, max enjoys sailing and restoring his classic 5½ yacht blåsut.
studio bsg’s 15 sqm recording room has an upright piano, a complete drum kit and an assortment of amps, instruments and sonic toys. the room is soundproofed and acoustically accurate, with adaptable velvet drapes and a full-wall helmholtz resonator for efficient control of standing waves – an otherwise common problem in rooms of this size.
the 20 sqm control room has a two-screen mac system, comfortable seating and a great espresso machine and small pentry. quadratic residue diffusors on walls and ceiling, and a minimum of parallell surfaces assure accurate monitoring from genelec 8040’s and yamaha ns-10’s. the studio has reinforced doors and windows with a monitored alarm.
