[Outdegree Studio]

The recording studio is a result of many years of collecting musical junk to record selfish sound experiments of Sebastian. Money was provided by working nutz (US society phenomena) as a full time computer software professional (US technology phenomena) in an eXtremely demanding geeky environment == lotsa stress.

After Asher-Krawczuk Duo ambient recording became studio's business card just a month later in July 2006 the studio hosted its first guests – “In Waves” by Tyler Higgins! They say the bathroom reverb is a killer and tea of doom brewed by Nancy will knock you out dead!
