Rancho De La Luna, Recording studio in Joshua Tree, California, US.
Located in the desert landscape, this residential recording facility contains vintage equipment and modern instruments spread across multiple recording spaces.
Fred Drake and David Catching established the recording studio in 1993, with Catching becoming the primary operator following Drake's death in 2002.
The studio became the birthplace of Desert Sessions, bringing together musicians from different bands to create experimental recordings in the California desert.
Musicians interested in recording at the facility need to contact David Catching directly through email, as the studio operates on an invitation basis.
The studio's drum room produces specific sound qualities that attract engineers and musicians seeking particular acoustic characteristics for their recordings.
