Bare Bones Recording Studio

Hi, I'm Tony Fiorentino (fyor-en-tee-no), professional musician, guitar player, singer, producer and engineer/owner of Bare Bones Recording. I've recorded thousands of musicians from Florida to California (Col-ee-for-nee-ya) to New York (National Public Radio), the Caribbean, Europe and Asia (with two #1 hit records) South America (Colombia, Argentina and Chile). Many faithful clients have recorded multiple consecutive CD projects (and demos) at Bare Bones. That's because this is not just a recording facility-- it's a home for musical collaboration in an extremely low profile and comfortable environment. I can be producer, engineer and/or studio musician for you at no extra charge. Guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, FX and even lead and back-up vocals are all part of the recording package. Styles include classical, jazz, rock, pop, R&B, Caribbean, reggae, country, folk, bluegrass, gospel, blues, hip-hop and metal.

Make no bones about it. This is an up-to-date, state-of-the-art, professional digital audio recording studio all the way-- from the microphones, processing gear and monitors, to the fully automated mixing and final master. Whether you need to record one song, a demo, or a full CD project-- the integrity is the same. I can tweak, re-mix or master any previously recorded material from your home studio or another commercial studio. I also transfer from one medium to another (i.e. reel-to-reel, cassette, DAT or LP to CD).
Pre-production, set-up time and all materials are included in the price. Bulk hourly rates start at $50/Hr. There are no hidden or extra costs. Bare Bones Recording Studio is a 1,000 square foot building adjacent to my home on 1.3 acres (the world's largest lounge!) in beautiful Nokomis Florida between Tampa and Naples. Overnight accommodations are available at a very reasonable price. When asking for quotes via e-mail please be specific about the number of musicians, instruments, gear, etc. Please include a phone number and location. Thanks! Tony Bones.
