One room.
One take.
Zero overdubs.
Karst Sessions is a live recording series out of Sacramento. No overdubs, no backing tracks, no editing the truth out of it. Just an artist, a room, and whatever actually happens.
No Backing Tracks. Ever.
Every artist who performs at Karst Sessions plays live, in full, with nothing pre-recorded. It's the one condition, and it's not negotiable.

No mystery, no fine print. This is exactly what happens when you record a Karst Session.
You send us your music
A submission, or we find you playing somewhere in Sacramento. Either way, we're just listening for something real.
We build the room around you
Nothing's fixed. Lighting, layout, setup, it all shifts to fit what your music actually needs that day.
We hit record and don't touch it
One continuous take. What happened in the room is what ends up in the recording. No fixing it later.
