We've picked out some noteworthy points from the press article to share with you!
■ Opening of an online Estimation page
We have released an " online estimation system " to expedite project budget formulation.
This service visualizes the often complex cost structure of recordings and allows users to calculate estimated costs based on their specific requirements online.

■Four recording categories that define the mass and energy of sound
You can choose from the following four categories , which emphasize " physical mass " and " spatial dynamics ," aspects that were impossible to achieve in conventional indoor studios.
*Some categories may not be available depending on the plan.

1. Lightweight
This category focuses on materials that can be directly handled and manipulated by humans.
It can record footsteps on various surfaces such as natural soil, gravel, and grass, as well as sounds like chopping wood with an axe, and the collision of wood chips and stones, in a pure state with unwanted reflections suppressed.
You can add to your library a natural sound and intricate details that blend with the outside air, something you can't get inside a studio booth.

2. Weight (HEAVY)
This is a signature category of our facility, completely overcoming the floor load-bearing capacity and space constraints of indoor facilities. It targets sounds of masses that are uncontrollable by human power, such as massive rocks manipulated with heavy machinery, heavy metal blocks, and large fallen trees, safely and dynamically recording "authentic, earth-shaking bass."

3. ELECTRIC
This category specializes in power tools that produce sparks, dust, and intense noise, such as chainsaws, grinders, and drills.
The inherent power and mechanical feel of the tools are captured from close range in an outdoor environment with the noise floor minimized to the greatest extent possible.

4. Attribute (ELEMENT)
This category deals with natural elements that require specific environments, such as "fire," "fireworks," and "ice." It captures the dynamism unique to the outdoors with the highest purity, including the sounds of a campfire, the explosions of fireworks, the burning of a gas burner, and the sound of ice in winter.

Construction of a massive pit: A massive pit measuring 12m wide x 8m deep x 3m high was constructed on a 2,000 tsubo (approximately 6,600 square meter) field.
Our heavy machinery is operated by certified personnel with 14 specialized qualifications, ensuring strict adherence to laws and regulations and safety management.
We secure the necessary heavy components in-house, including concrete weighing several tons and massive steel structures...
I'm sharing the difficult journey I've taken so far on my blog.
Stay tuned for more updates on "SKYSQUARE"!
