Our Story

Half Moose Beaver Studios is an independent recording and mastering studio founded by Jesse and Eva-Mare — a creative partnership built on experience, design sense, and a shared love of music.

With over 30 years of home-recording experience, Jesse brings a deep technical understanding of sound, from his early cassette 4-track beginnings to today’s modern digital systems. His approach blends classic recording know-how with contemporary tools to produce mixes and masters that feel authentic, balanced, and alive.

Eva-Mare provides the creative backbone and organizational flow behind the studio — bringing her background in design and project management to every collaboration. Her eye for detail and creative direction ensure that each project moves smoothly from concept to completion.

Together, they offer a personalized, artist-first approach to recording, mixing, and mastering — helping independent musicians bring their music to life with care, clarity, and intention.

🎧 Real people. Real sound.
