Studio Okum

Rubedo Recordings is a vibey recording studio in Turin run by the Italian producer Manuel Volpe and Simone Pozzi providing Recording, Mixing and Mastering services at top quality.

​Born as Rhabdomantic Orchestra headquarter the studio is open to artists and bands looking for a certain approach on production and recording focused on performance and creativity.

The control room is build around our Trident Series 65 console and the original 60s' Ampex 8 track tape-machine owned by Maestro Piero Umiliani. Three rooms of 45m² (live room), 20m² (wood room), 6m² (dead room) give the possibility to catch live tracking with good sound separation.

​Today Rubedo Recording is also the home of Okum Produzioni, a production label and management funded by Manuel Volpe and Anna Basile.
