Soulvage · Sessions · Summer / Fall 2026

Send music.
Come record.

Selected 2–3 day recording sessions for serious young musicians who want time, space, and a quiet room in the Dordogne while Soulvage is getting established.

Small sessions.
Real attention.

You bring prepared music. Soulvage offers the room, recording time, basic recording support, and a focused setting.

Possible formats: live recording, artist session, small video document, portfolio material, audition material, or a carefully made demo.

Solo artists, duos, trios, and small ensembles are welcome. The emphasis is on quality, intention, and musicians who are ready to make something useful.

Good fit

  • Jazz
  • Chamber / acoustic music
  • Singer-songwriter / soul
  • Experimental or quiet contemporary projects

A rare opening.
For young international musicians.

Soulvage is still getting established. That creates a short, unusual moment: selected guest musicians can come to the Dordogne for serious recording time for a minimal contribution of €15 per day per person.

For young musicians from France, Germany, Spain, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, or further away, this can be a chance to combine travel, focus, and useful recorded material in a place that is quiet, personal, and not commercially overproduced.

This is not an open online booking system and not a factory-style studio offer. It is a curated invitation: send music first, and if the project fits, we agree on dates personally.

Why come now

  • Minimal opening contribution: €15 per day per person
  • Quiet private room in rural Dordogne
  • Real attention rather than rushed hourly booking
  • Useful recordings for portfolio, auditions, press, or future releases
  • A chance to be among the first artists connected with Soulvage

For professional post-production, Soulvage works with Sphere Studio, the second-largest studio in France. Selected recordings made at Soulvage can, if they are suitable, be mastered with Sphere Studio’s sound-engineering support for a professional release. Mastering is a separate paid service and must be negotiated directly with Sphere Studio.
