Forgotten Stars
Album 2022

The production of our first studio debut album FORGOTTEN STARS was probably the most exciting phase of the album production, as it was intended to determine how we could best capture our sound aesthetic ideas and reproduce them in the mix.
in the mix. The fact that we were able to work with Moritz Gröger during this process was a great stroke of luck!
Moritz's subtle and empathetic nature, as well as his extraordinary passion during the work, made
the recording sessions and the subsequent work on the mix a joyfully exciting journey through our own pieces. Moritz has the ability to empathize deeply with the music, understands every little musical expression and can produce the music perfectly with his technical know-how. He draws on a large repertoire of experience from a wide range of musical genres and demonstrates great musicality.
We will definitely continue to work with him on future productions.

Sell your farm, signet ring and your first-born and take every last penny of your hard-earned cash to the Hertzkammer. Whether you just want to record a birthday song for your dog Pfiffi or become the male version of Lady Gaga: Get the answers to the questions you don't know you'll have here. "Which instrument do we want to mix in here?" - This one! "Which beat goes with this?" Take this one! "Can I call mom quickly?" I've already done that! You meet on Sunday at 3.00 pm at Aunt Erna's. Bring bread and proper shoes. If you want to fulfill your once-in-a-lifetime-dream and, like Avril Lavigne (or her still-living double), really let the diva out with all the pomp and bluster, you've come to the right place. With so much expertise and good energy, the only problem is that you'll be mourning the last one on the first day of work. The scratch marks on the floor at the entrance are mine, by the way. I didn't want to leave - they had to pull me out. And I had my Avril Lavigne memory nails on - the rest is history. Thanks for letting me be there! p.s.: rest in peace Avril.

If you've decided that you don't want to just bumble along with your own music in your living room. If you're looking for the right vibe for your song or, like me, just want to find someone who can pick up your music... You should definitely get in touch with the Hertzkammer.

If you're looking for the attention to detail that's still missing for the finishing touches, if you're looking for a better arrangement, if you want to find the icing on the cake of your self-written songs. Be sure to contact the Hertzkammer.

At the first meeting you'll realize that you've come to the right place. You'll never want to leave. 

From now on, I will produce every song I write in the Hertzkammer. :-) It absolutely knocked my socks off how much the ideas for the rest of my song can flow. It was always so much fun to come into the studio and know that something really special was happening again today. The hard work during the recordings (because I had little studio experience) was made so much easier for me and Moritz and Artur's work was worth every penny. I learned really important things and the two of them treated me as equals, so that I never had the feeling that someone was taking the decision for my own songs out of my hands. And I found that to be the best achievement I could wish for in the production process. Thumbs up. 4ever Hertzkammer. :-)

Album 2024

What can we say about the ventricle?
Well, where do you start?
We spent almost a year in these walls. From day 1, after production was completed, the homesickness set in. We believe that in addition to the - and we can say this with full conviction - maximum quality that our record Sonnenterasse 15 achieved, one thing was almost more important: this feeling of being almost at home in the rehearsal room with every recording. The whole team was part of our band from start to finish this year. Nothing was simply nodded off or unnecessarily extended due to schedules. The Hertzkammer, just like us, wanted to put the Perektion seal of approval on this record.
We are just a small basement band, doing it all just for ourselves. This wonderful place got so involved for us, as if we had to prove to some label what we can do. But you have created so much more. For us, a testimony and memories for eternity. And no one will ever take them away from us.

Die Produktion der EP in der Hertzkammer war schon länger angedacht und wurde dann durch den Lockdown in Deutschland zu einer neuartigen Erfahrung, für beide Seiten. Moritz hat mit seinem Team ganze Arbeit geleistet und eine wundervolle Umsetzung meiner Songs gezaubert. Er ist nicht nur der sympathischste, sondern auch der empathischste Mensch den du dir vorstellen kannst. So wurde die gesamte Produktion zu einer super angenehm geleiteten Reise in neue Musikdimensionen. Vielen Dank lieber Moritz, ich komme wieder :)

The production of the EP in the Hertzkammer had been planned for some time and then became a new experience for both sides due to the lockdown in Germany. Moritz and his team did a great job and conjured up a wonderful realization of my songs. He is not only the most likeable, but also the most empathetic person you can imagine. The entire production was a super pleasant journey into new musical dimensions. Many thanks dear Moritz, I will be back :)

We wanted to record three songs at an early stage of the band, not too cerebral and open. Moritz was really outstanding, let us do it when it worked, gave impulses and help when we needed it: "It feels like we've always been doing this together with you, dear Moritz. And that really is a huge argument for the Hertzkammer!" xx TOSHIKO ÖDLAND

Moritz has turned my crazy vision of producing an album in equal parts in Ghana and Germany into reality. This guy doesn't do things by halves. When I told him about my plan to visit musician friends in Ghana to record some percussion tracks, Moritz was immediately hooked and wanted to be part of it. A few weeks after my arrival in Ghana, I met him at Kotoka Airport with my travel bags filled to the brim with tripods and microphones. His know-how and sensitivity helped me a lot to cope with the sometimes production-unfriendly circumstances in Ghana. Even during the dubbing sessions in Cologne, he always managed to get the best out of the musicians.  In the end, a self-made percussion EP became an elaborate, professional, collaborative and interesting album. Many thanks for that, Moritz.

There was always a calm, relaxed and professional atmosphere in the hetzkammer. I recorded my EP there during the summer 2019 heatwave and the chamber saved me from heat shock: both the mixing room with air conditioning and the recording room were cool. The mixing room was interestingly decorated with attention to detail and not too crammed with space, so you could chill there and not be distracted. The communication before, during and after the recording was very good, so you could record efficiently. It doesn't matter whether you already have recording experience or not. Moritz was never irritated or confused by my ideas, requirements, inserts, suggestions, wishes...we often agreed on changes in the studio and in post-production. The recording manager and musicians were well prepared for the recordings and were focused on their work, yet with room for ideas, so that a great band sound was created in a short time. Thanks to the small, clean kitchen next door, as a singer I fortunately had constant access to water and tea. There is a kiosk directly opposite and a café with delicious paninis around the corner. The appointments and payment negotiations were always transparent. The hertzkammer really suited my musical style and it was as if I had recorded an EP with friends.

After six chart albums and 20 years in the rock n roll circus, as the singer of the band 4LYN I've seen pretty much everything that's possible when it comes to studios, producers, engineering, collaborations and songwriting. From "big to mini". From "prestige to rehearsal room" and from "jazz to punk rock". My conclusion after all this? Big is not necessarily better, cheap is not necessarily worse and jazz is sometimes more "punk rock" than punk rock itself. After so many different methods and approaches to an album, I thought I'd seen it all. But then I came to the "Hertzkammer" in Cologne and less than five minutes later I knew that I had never had such a consistently positive gut feeling BEFORE a production. Here, dedication to pretty much every musical genre is put at the top of the to-do list and space is left for the artist. Period. No hours of "talking music to pieces", no self-portraying producers or engineers with an attention deficit, and above all, buckets of "musical understanding". In short: I have rarely felt so "understood" as a musician.

The Hertzkammer can be recommended to every musician, as Moritz has a very open and cross-genre approach to music, deals with you seriously and emphatically and brings in helpful ideas when needed. He is also incredibly nice and good-looking! Sometimes he also likes to eat a piece of cake.

Recording with Moritz was a great pleasure. We recorded the EP in two studios for production reasons. We recorded the band in the large Maarweg Studio 2 and the vocals later in the intimate atmosphere of the hertzkammer at home. In addition to the very pleasant atmosphere during the production, I was able to concentrate on the artistic side of things because the production was very well planned and technically flawless. We will definitely work together again!

Worked with Moritz for the first time in 2018 and have never been anywhere else since! From the first setup of the drums to the final master, we always felt comfortable with the guys at hertzkammer Studio. We can highly recommend Moritz because of his expertise, relaxed attitude, patience and above all his coffee machine. Whether you're looking for the right sound for the chorus, the right length for the bridge or that one missing instrument during the outro - if you don't expect an exact sound corset from your producer, but first and foremost creative ideas and an emphatic approach to all the musicians involved, then you've come to the right place.

With infinite patience and sensitivity, the Hertzkammer captured the vibration that is so important for our band einKlang: our smile.And it always comes back to us when we listen to the songs we have recorded together.Like a fateful coincidence, the vision of bringing music into the world that comes from the heart has brought us together. And the Hertzkammer lives up to its name. The professionalism and empathy with which we work here makes it so much easier to open up and deliver an honest, convincing performance. We can simply concentrate on the music. Full of joy for our joint album, it is an honor for us to make our dreams come true in this studio.

We had a fantastic and fun time at the hertzkammer! Apart from the top equipment and the highly professional way of working, Moritz and Christoph are the personified loveliness.What's more, if required, they also bring along bomb studio musicians, of whom the same must be said!We will definitely be recording our next album here again! Overall, we award 9.5 out of a possible 10 points. We deduct half a point because the selection of teas was still very poor during the start-up phase. We should be allowed this much open criticism.

Studio recording in the hertzkammer? I've already done a few studio recordings and would honestly come here again and again. In other studios, I never got rid of the feeling that the stakes are high, but in the end you don't really get the big thing.You're praised to the skies because you've recorded a good take, but in the end the result was never really what I wanted.They don't butter you up, but do a precise, conscientious job and simply deliver a great product without any fuss.
