Career

In 2016, Reisch relocated the studio to Lockhart, Texas.[9][10]

Reisch is known for using vintage analog equipment, reel-to-reel and cassette tape formats. On Tele Novella’s albums Merlynn Belle and Poet’s Tooth,[17][18][19] he recorded on a Tascam 488 cassette recorder and mixed in real time.[20]
