The UFI studio is a small project recording studio located in Oakland California owned and operated by producer/engineer Ben E. Riesman. UFI has a good sounding room, a small but nice arsenal of mics and instruments, with a talented and quick engineer who knows that the recording process needs to be fun and smooth to capture the best performances. Ben, raised playing classical violin and viola before branching off into rock and experimental music, knows how to play many instruments and often contributes his touches to the sound of albums produced at UFI. Recently Ben has done entire orchestral string sections for Greg Ashley's Painted Garden, Brian Glaze's Rainsplitter and Hoops and Leather Boots, as well as Bart Davenport and Indianna Hale's upcoming albums. The UFI Studio has been home to all of le Fits recordings, as well as others including: Bart Davenport, Snowblink, The Morning Benders, Sean Smith, Cardiax, Indianna Hale, Tetherball Records, and the San Antonio Kid. < click here for a list of gear >
