your vision
your sound
Welcome!
My name is Jonathan Sambrick, and I am the head engineer and owner of Thornwall. When you trust me with your art, I use my experience of over ten years in the industry, as well as many years of playing live music to create something you can be proud of for years to come.
recording
We use modern recording techniques, microphones, and preamps to capture a clean and accurate signal at the source whether it be for music or even audiobooks.
remote mixing and mastering
Technology has made it easier than ever to record your music from the comfort of your own home. Where most self produced artists get hung up on is during the mixing and mastering process. If you are interested in remote mixing and mastering, we would be happy to help discuss your needs on how to take your project to the next level.
production and writing
Have you ever started a song, but it sat on the shelf because you could never seem to get it right? Sometimes a second perspective is all you need to bring new life into an old idea.
TESTIMONIALS
We have seen so much growth as we have tracked 2 records now at Thornwall. Jon brings so much skill and creativity to each session and really pulls the best out of you. The time Jon puts into each song is incredible. He will almost know your song better than you do and start to hear fresh new melodies or background production that you don't. Definitely can take at 7 star song to a 10 real quick.
The studio atmosphere is so laid back but professional and gives you the confidence you’re getting the best out of your music. Not just in the in studio experience, but the final product is up there with the best in Nashville. We have had a #1 national charting song and three top 3 national charting songs that were recorded and produced at Thornwall Studios. All that is to say if you want to get a professional sounding song, you can't go wrong with Jon at Thornwall Studios.
-Sean Green (Behold The Beloved)
“Thornwall studios- musically creative as a Keith Richards song- bird. Awesome experience, Jon takes professionalism to the next level. Thornwall is unlike any studio I’ve ever recorded at. Jon’s the man!”
-Koedee Gordon (Koedee & Friends)
“Jon Sambrick’s work speaks for itself. The product he produces and work flow make working with him an easy and obvious choice. He is extremely talented and will make a name for himself in the music industry.”
-Eric McNeil (Gun Metal Gray, Voice The Chaos, Ten Throne)
"Working with Jon at Thornwall was a seamless experience. From first contact to project end, and every step in between was easy, fun, and high quality. Whether you have a complete vision from front to back, or need some.insight along the way, Jon is your guy."
-Ed Allison (Lyndhurst, Gun Metal Gray)
He really has incredible intuition with any genre. Whatever sound I’m going for, he can replicate it. His vocal production is top-tier, and I love his approach to tracking them. He’s very in tune with where you want to take the track as an artist, and he never oversteps his bounds with your creative approach.
-Silas Angelino (Narrowhaven)
Thornwall is my last stop. It took years of doing it wrong but I found the end all be all. Each project I’ve taken there have been completely different, and each time it turns out on the money, coinciding with my original vision. Jon lets the track be itself, but also isn’t afraid to speak up with any ideas he has about making something better. You get the full package… a great engineer, excellent workspace and top notch production. If you haven’t yet, book a project with them. You’ll never go another studio again.
-Josh Willis (J.D. Willis & The Cecil Smoke)
Jon and his team at Thornwall have become our go-to partners for mixing + mastering. When we recorded our debut EP at separate studios in the middle of the pandemic, it was paramount that the final mix not only sound great, but also as tight and cohesive as possible. Thornwall didn’t just deliver - they went above and beyond. Their highly communicative + collaborative approach was so crucial to getting the final product we wanted, we can hardly go anywhere else for mixing anymore.
-Eric Reavey (Floorbird)
"When I first discovered Thornwall studios, I was looking for somebody to help me get my music onto the circuit. All I had was a few ideas, and not much else. However, thanks to their ingenuity and creative insight, which is always expanding, my songs came to life in ways that I didn't think would ever be possible. Recording with Thornwall studios there's so much more than just hitting some buttons and pushing out songs; it's a friendship and a collaboration that you'll never find anywhere else!"
