Testimonials
“The COMPOUND is the perfect environment for providing the creative spark essential in making a great recording. Working with Marc Ford, Anthony Arvizu and Jeff Lewis brought out the best in our music.”
– THE STEEPWATER BAND
“It’s great to be able to go to one place and be able to get whatever sound I need. I’ve been working with Anthony for 15 years…and I always leave happy.”
- ISAIAH ‘IKEY’ OWENS (the Mars Volta, Free Moral Agents, De Facto)
“The Compound is an incredible place to work. [I'm] very relaxed with Anthony and Jeff handling the technical stuff. I’ve been free to be very creative with the band and arrangements. Things can happen very fast. You might even forget you are making a record.”
- MARC FORD (the Black Crowes, Ben Harper, Booker T. Jones)
“There is real life in the walls of The Compound – it breaths and lives and contributes to the sounds created and the sounds found. Anthony Arvizu and Marc Ford know how to bring everything together to find the right vibe. They are creators and collaborators. They highlight and accentuate. And they’re also fun!”
- KIM BUIE ( A&R Lost Highway Records )
“The Compound is the funkiest place on the planet. Big room, big sound, big tone!”
