Thanks Terry, I’m glad they asked you to do our sound again, it was worthwhile travelling all the way down to the West Coast.
John Wils - De Parel
For a few years now I have had the privilege to record my CD’s at Terry Gordon’s: Creation Recording Studio. His inspiration, his musicality, and perfectionism is something I admire. He adds the perfect ingredients complementing and supporting the songs I have maid.
With his patience and musical know how, as well as his technical and producing skills I always end up with a perfect CD album. His natural feeling for music enriches the sound. It was a joy for me to work with him. Although I live in Holland I travel all the way to Ireland to record with him because I know how good he is at his job. I certainly can say that you will never regret for a single moment working with him.

Thank you once again Terry for the great mix, and a big thank you from the rest of the band, see you soon.
Dezy Walls - Director of Small Roads festival
If you want your essence captured, Terry Gordon’s Creation Recording Studio cannot be beaten. I have been working with Terry for three years now.
Having recorded in many quality studios in Britain, Ireland, The Netherlands, Belgium and the USA, I may not know everything but I know when I’m sounding the way I want to sound. Terry has an artists’ understanding of music and the spoken word. He has an ear for minute detail. His equipment is always up to date.
On top of all that there is a relaxed friendly feeling working with Terry. And the location of his studios cannot be beaten. Why be in a stuffy city when the best studio is located in a beautiful coastal area in the west of Ireland.
Tell your friends, but not too many, as I’ll still be needing time there for many years to come.

It makes a big difference in playing when my fiddle sounds just right, thank you for providing the perfect sound Terry.

CD: Outside the Box
We, (OUTSIDE THE BOX), recorded our debut album at Creation Recording Studio with Terry Gordon, and we are absolutely delighted with the result. Terry is an absolute perfectionist at the mixing desk, and his studio provided us with the perfect environment for being creative.
Not only was he supportive as a sound engineer, but he was also helpful in his capacity as a musician.
The great and secluded location near the beach complements a perfect setup. We often went for a walk there to let the breeze clear our heads … any second album will definitely be recorded at Creation Recording Studio…

The Area
The Studio is situated in beautiful Ballinskelligs “The hidden Jewel on the Skellig Ring” Ballinskelligs meaning homestead of the rocks (Irish – Baile ‘n Sceilg), lies in an area that is known for one of the most spectacular scenery in Ireland. Part of the “Wild Atlantic Way”, with its rugged coastline, scattered islands, vast mountains, high passes and miles of golden beaches and turquoise water.
The rocks that lend the bay its name are Skellig Michael (Sceilg Mhichíl), an ancient monastic colony which lies off the coast from Ballinskelligs, and Little Skellig (Sceilg Bheag) which holds Ireland’s largest and the world’s second-largest Northern Gannett colony, with almost 30,000 pairs.
Skellig Michael is at the conjunction of two very important ley lines which connect with sites of great spirituality, a lot of which ‘happen to be’ named after St Michael, including St Michael’s Mount, Mont St Michel and St Michael’s Well. The lines also connect with the Michael line that passes through Glastonbury Tor and Stonehenge in the UK, and the main line can be traced all the way to Egypt.
