The Recording Studio facilities at the University of Oregon are so fresh. Directed by Lance Miller along with Jon Bellona as part of the Popular Music Studies, the UO SOMD Recording Facilities provide superb state of the art quality for recording of class projects, recitals, faculty artists, student recordings, and special projects with national and international record labels.
Our goal with the A.P.T. program at the University of Oregon is to explore the artistic side of music production, while also providing the technical know-how to capture that sound swirling ’round in your head.
And the big news…the SOMD will offer a degree in Popular Music Studies with a concentration in Audio Production beginning Fall of 2024!
Below are some videos and audio clips of what we have been building in the APT over the last several years.
In Spring of 2020, we took on the challenge of replicating one of the greatest songs of all time, “A Day in the Life” by the Beatles. Enjoy! I know you will.
Here is 2023’s Challenge Song, Steely Dan’s “Don’t take Me Alive”.
Here are 2 songs from 2022. “Show Me How” by Men I Trust

Wow. Such fun, and not at all easy. A great experience for all.
And this nugget, our attempt at Michael Jackson.
And the Epic George Michael.
