touching sounds
“Haptós SoundLab is the result of a process of more than 15 years dedicated to sound. Haptós is a word that comes from ancient Greek and refers to haptic perception, that is, perception through the active exploration of the sense of touch. We have decided to use this name because, after all these years, we have become convinced that it is the best way to describe the moment when we can feel sound waves. Haptós is our skin as the outer tactile surface of our brain, acting as a communication channel with the sound waves, activating and awakening our feelings. Haptós equals touch, it is what generates security and confidence in us.”

Why us?
Reliability
Reliability! The most important thing when choosing a recording studio (after prices of course!). In our studio we see it that way too and that's why we summarise this word in three key concepts:
Communication: Managing expectations through active action.
Collaboration: It's your art, it's your process.
Decision-Making: Input that contributes to the final result.
Flexibility
In many studios, your creative time is conditioned by the money you pay. Our studio works differently. Although we have different rates, our main intention is to open our doors to empower your creative development. We are here to lend you a hand and guide you in case you need it. That's why we offer a flexible working system. We don't let you go until you are satisfied with the final product.
Interculturalism
Moving across borders implies validating and accepting multiculturalism as an essential part of creative processes. Haptós understands this and that is why we are committed to promoting interaction and artistic dialogue between different cultures, which is reflected in both aesthetics and content.
Oh! And before we forget, did we already tell you that we can offer our services in German, English and Spanish?
Expertise
Whereas the three reasons listed on the left are very important when choosing a recording studio, none of them would be of any use if we do not have the necessary skills to carry out your project. Having technical knowledge is a mandatory requirement and should therefore not be considered an advantage. However, it doesn't hurt to tell you that. We know and love what we do.
The Place
Community
They say it all starts with the atmosphere!
In our community, you will find everything you need to enhance your creative process, including table tennis and barbecue.
Studio
Forget about long days in the dark of a basement. At Haptós, you will have a studio with daylight. Two cosy rooms of approximately 20 m2 each have been conditioned to meet the best acoustic standards.
Tech
Analogue or digital? For us, the answer is easy. Working "in the box" gives you versatility and flow, but if you want to get that professional sound, it's essential to appeal to the warmth and imperfection that only electric components can deliver.
