Zarven Kara is the engineer, producer and manager of Reel to Reel Studios and has worked in most facets of the music industry throughout Europe and Australia. He earned his living working in the clubs of Germany as a jazz guitarist and composer, but soon became successful for his work as a mix and mastering engineer. Gaining valuable insight and experience inside some of Germany’s finest studios he brought that knowledge back to Australia and designed Reel to Reel Studios based on the warmth of Analog recording equipment.
