Cardo Camp, an ultimate artists development workshop which serves to help budding musicians build their musical repertoire with Grammy-Award winning producers and engineers, is going to select one lucky band/singer-songwriter for an all expense paid, three-day recording and mastering session at Sonic Ranch Recording Studio, a world class recording facility which is located on a 2300 acre farm outside El Paso, TX.
The winner will take their craft to the next level through an intensive one on one coaching experience including song writing, arrangement and song development, as well as a one-song EP with the Cardo Camp team of masters working on it from top to bottom.
Founded in 2000, Cardo Camp has assembled a tight-knit crew of legends, Grammy-Award winning musicians and mastering gurus from the halls of Rock n’Roll elite. Included here is a laundry list of talent that features the ASIA lead singer, John Payne, KISS’s producer/engineer Pat Regan, guitarist Mitch Perry, U2’s mastering engineer Joe Bozzi, and very special guest Alan Parsons, engineer of the Beatle’s Abbey Road, along with Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon.
For those yet-to-be-discovered talents who have the desire to take a leap in reaching their dreams but have no avenue to get to the next step, the team of Cardo Camp is ready to provide the roadmap for their journey going forward. Entry of Win the Session has opened June 15th, and submissions include two songs, originals and/or covers, and a short introductory video. Entry fee is $265 for a prize valued at $15K+.
It all goes down at Sonic Ranch, the world’s largest residential recording studio, which will be home to the winning artist for three days and two nights in a Spanish ranch to foster focus for the creative process. With little light or sound pollution and the rustic beauty of nature all around them, Sonic Ranch provides peacefully constructive ambiance for musical development.
The campers even stay at the ranch—putting them within walking distance from a studio—so when inspiration hits, they are not far from a microphone. With four world-class recording studios, stocked with vintage consoles and a literal musical toy store of instruments and equipment, the Card Camp winner will have the guidance they need to record a ready-radio song with all of the tools of a state of the art studio at their fingertips.
Besides the EP, the winner will also receive a travel within the continental US, housing and meals, and a promotional video of the session. For more information, please visit www.cardocamp.com or facebook.com/cardocamp.
