JoKoW-music is not just a mere music publisher but a creative music workshop, that makes your dreams come true. Every idea remains a vision if it is not translated into reality. We aim to turn your visions into reality. Our services range from compositions of complete songs, arrangements of original compositions and music recordings in our studios to music video recordings and web design. Mix and mastering are also available off site, if required.
Location: We are located in a beautiful corner of the Saarland, between Völklingen and Saarlouis, in Wadgassen (Bierenfeld) with forest and numerous hiking trails close-by.
Acoustics: Our studios were mainly constructed with natural materials and were thoroughly designed before the actual construction planning started. The sound insulation between the studio rooms as well as from the outside is excellent.

The high-grade metering by Penguin, PG-AM 4.5 consisting of graphic-analyser, spectrometre, goniometre, peakmetre und correlation indicator allows optic control of the audio signals.
