HQ | NORTHSTAR - “The Spirit of Turtle”An Artist’s Philosophy

We seek to collaborate with artists who share our vision to communicate music through

recording and playback in the highest possible quality and therefore honoring the sound of

reality. Artists who also share our desire to reveal the legacy of great musical minds such that

their art reaches as many as possible. Authenticity, inventiveness, sampling and re-working

of master pieces can go hand in hand and no musical convention has merits or truth on its

own, rather than it being used as an extra tool to create great music and sound. The Spirit of

Turtle is about music and how we can communicate this optimally from performer to listener.

A quest for transparency whereby an unconditional dedication and effort is shared and invested

by all involved to reach our goals. A gateway between performer and listener that in the best

case adds nothing, and takes nothing away from a real life performance.

A Recording Philosophy

The Spirit of Turtle strives to let music sound in an acoustic environment whereby the collision

of air molecules creates the ultimate blend and balance, rather then to synthesize sound and

balance it through electrical currents in mixing boards. Also electrical synthesized music

must sound at some point, and The Spirit of Turtle tries to deliver this sound in a way that is

believable and similar to a real sounding concert where human beings are involved rather

than only abstract soundscapes.
