What’s included:

  • Monthly rehearsal and recording access
  • Off-hours availability for focused creative work
  • Temperature-controlled rooms built for sound
  • High-speed internet and a grounded, professional atmosphere

🌲 A New Chapter: Flying Whale Studios at The Hearth

We’re also thrilled to share a milestone moment:

Soul Graffiti Studios has officially acquired Flying Whale Studios, expanding our vision into a remote, land-based recording and retreat location in the Sierra Foothills.

Flying Whale Studios now lives at The Hearth—home of Honey of the Heart—a place devoted to music, healing, and community gathering. This new chapter allows us to offer:

  • Remote recording and creative immersions
  • Artist retreats and songwriting sessions
  • Nature-based production and reflection time
  • A bridge between urban studio access and land-based creation

It’s the same commitment to sound, presence, and integrity—now rooted in the land.

Featured Artist: String, Skin, & Breathe –

String, Skin, & Breathe

String, Skin, & Breathe is a collaborative world-music project rooted in rhythm, song, and deep listening. Blending global percussion traditions, folk and jazz-informed strings, and breath-led vocal expression, the ensemble creates performances that feel less like concerts and more like shared rituals of presence.

The group brings together three deeply seasoned artists:

Aaron Kierbel, an internationally respected percussionist, draws from Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, West African, and jazz traditions to create rhythmic environments that ground the body and invite movement without force.

Misha Khalikulov (of Rupa Marya & The April Fishes) contributes melodic depth and global sensibility shaped by years of international touring and cross-cultural collaboration. His playing bridges folk, jazz, and roots music with subtle compositional clarity.

Adrienne Shamszad (Honey of the Heart + solo and band projects) brings a voice that is intimate, grounded, and emotionally resonant—blurring the line between performer and listener through song, breath, and shared vulnerability.

Together, String, Skin, & Breathe offers music that adapts to the room, the moment, and the people present—honoring world music traditions as living practices of connection. Their performances invite stillness and movement, listening and participation, creating a space where music becomes relationship.

Thank You for Being Part of This

Whether you’re coming to the show, sharing the studio poster, recording with us, or simply listening from afar—your presence matters. This work grows because of community, and we’re grateful to keep building it together.

See you at the theatre.
See you in the studio.
See you at The Hearth.

— with appreciation,

Soul Graffiti Studios
