Conceived by soloist Solomon Silber, the album was recorded at Waterfront Studios in Hudson, NY, with analog recording equipment and minimal editing of takes. Waterfront Studios is built inside a nineteenth century Gothic Revival church, and the sanctuary serves as the main recording room. Frescoes adorn the 35-feet walls and antique stained glass windows catch the sunlight. Such recording studios are rare in the digital age, and the combination of the unique space, vintage equipment, and classical guitar music created the distinctive aesthetic of Waterfront Sessions.
