While it still remains unclear when Wonderpark will reopen, Chris and I have decided to do a little FUN RAFFLE for the people! And because there are TWO of us, we’ve decided to offer TWO prizes and donate all the proceeds equally to TWO places!

Prize 1 is 6 hours of glorious recording time at the studio, and prize 2 is a very expensive-sounding (or however you want it to sound) mix and master of one of your songs from lord CK himself.

Just $10 to enter, which you can rocket directly to me () via venmo. ALL THE MONEY will be split evenly between Emergency Release Fund (bailing medically vulnerable people out of jail!) and Flatbush United Mutual Aid.

If you enter be sure to say which wonderful prize you want in the memo. We will be choosing out-of-hat style, most likely on Instagram live. Entries will be open until Saturday at 9pm! Okay! $10 for your musical dreams and theories to be validated, possibly, but mostly it’s fun helping. See ya there!

We're back! And this time we're happy to present, to you, in the comfort of your own homes, the original Holy Trinity themselves- Kadawa! You know- it really shows when a band has committed to staying together through thick and thin, long nights (and even longer days) on tour and the unrelenting will to create something that's greater than the sum of it's parts (no offense to it's parts- each of these people is an exceptional musician). You don't see nearly as many capital B Bands these days- but I'm glad this one exists.

ANYWAY! Please enjoy "Empty Room" By Kadawa

Kadawa is:

Tal Yahalom- Guitar
Almog Sharvit- Bass
Ben Silashi- Drums

And "Empty Room" is a composition by Ben Silashi.

Hey what is UP my dudes. This is a tough time for people everywhere and especially those of us in the wild world of music and freelance. Both of us are not just engineers, but also touring musicians, and like many of you we have lost tens of thousands of dollars of work in the last couple days. Wild times! Having said that- we ARE open, we ARE honoring all of our March sessions, we ARE vehemently disinfecting all surfaces before and after sessions and we also are trying our best to mitigate the financial situation for our musician buds. In the spirit- April through July (god willing, this will be over), we will be offering highly discounted sessions to anyone who has lost income over cancelled tours, as well as trying to increase the number of half price days we can offer, and ramping up our video sessions for people who want to make some live content, but don’t necessarily want to ask people to congregate. Now that many of us are grounded for the summer we figure this is a dope time to work on passion projects, and we hope to facilitate that in a low-cost fashion. Okay! Love you and stay safe!

This week we celebrate "Letters From Late Adolescence" by Peaceful Faces! We were lucky to record some guitar and piano and drums and maybe even some horns here at Wonderpark last year- and boy did it come out nice! Check it out if you love thoughtful lyrics, horn arrangements, rock music energy and singing in tune!

We can't run an ad about this song because of the profanity but I hope you'll realize how special this one is to us when you hear it. Please enjoy the first posthumous release from our buddy Dylan Maida's massive body of work. This is "She Loves Me" by F**k Squad

The year is 2020 and a brand new decade can mean exactly only one thing: the team at Wonderpark Studios has a new video session to unveil!

This month we feature a very special band: Gaya Sings Connie! This project aims to shed some light on the body of work of one of history's great geniuses of song: Connie Converse.

With a healthy dose of ethereal interpretation, Gaya Feldheim-Schorr leads a band inclusive of Tal Yahalom on guitar and Wonderpark's own Eva Lawitts on upright bass. Join us in accepting and sharing in and re-living a certain type of madness- and be on the lookout for Gaya's forthcoming album containing this material and more, recorded at Wonderpark!

It is our great and holy pleasure to present the THIRD episode of the Wonderpark Video Sessions! In this extremely special episode, we have Kira Metcalf (a favorite singer-songwriter, near and dear to our hearts, for whom who have produced several singles and an upcoming EP!) covering The Mars Volta (what can we even say?? Living legends and icons deeply formative to our tastes). So please enjoy!

This week we celebrate Delusions of Glamour by Citris!
Do you crave earworm hooks? Do you crave apocalyptic levels of self loathing and earth shattering levels of self love? Do you crave drum sounds from beyond the moon?
Do you crave lyrics that pierce the soul? Look no further than this mind-bendingly good album, created by Citris and engineered, mixed and mastered by our very own Chris Krasnow!
