A Note From Pat (February 1, 2019)
PermaPress closed in May of 2017. I am currently living and working in the Mojave Desert near the town of Joshua Tree, California. We are constructing a beautiful and spacious new studio here which will open in the Fall of 2019. In the meantime, I have been mixing and mastering out of our Solar Powered Cabin. I have also recorded albums by renting houses and setting up a mobile recording rig to do the tracking. Contact me at: velvafonic@gmail.com (503) 962-0321 PO Box 3333 Landers, CA 92285 Pat Kearns Recording In 1997, Pat Kearns opened a small, 16-track recording studio in Portland named Studio 13, recorded tons of punk/garage bands as well as singer/songwriters. In the fall of 2006, he expanded operations by opening The Color Lab in Portland, OR. After 6 months, the Lab had run its course and Pat moved operations to NE Portland and named the new studio PermaPress Recording.

Mark Brachmann, Engineer
After a lifelong love affair with all kinds of music and three years of living in Japan, Mark Brachmann decided it was time for a change. He set his sights on L.A., but landed in Australia and, after a year of studying audio engineering at SAE College, returned to Portland to begin his recording career in 2006. Since then, Mark has been working hard to build a reputation as an up-and-coming engineer/producer in the Portland music scene. Mark shares the PermaPress Recording goal of providing professional recording services at reasonable rates and is willing to travel to remote sites for more personalized recording sessions. His biggest recording influences are John Fryer, Rick Rubin, Andy Wallace, Matt Wallace, Sylvia Massy, and Chris Lord-Alge.
