The founder Christian Höck is half french, half german. He is musician (Phonoboy), composer, producer and sound engineer in one person. Andy Eschenwecker left the studio in 2006 to do other things like the phenomenal Vertigo compressor VS2.

Telstarstudio was first an pure analogue studio, but is meanwhile also using a digital system (Pro Tools). Always trying to get the best out of each technique. But it is still possible to do a pure analogue recording. We 're using a Trident 75 Mixing desk, equal to what David Bowie used in times of "Hunky Dory". Also Lenny Kravitz worked with Trident desks for his first albums.

But technique is not all of course. As long as the music sounds good an has the feeling it should have, we are happy.
