formusic.
Whitchcraft is a creative residency and recording space in a 1911 villa, surrounded by a private park and forest. Artists come to write, record, rehearse — and stay.
A1The studio
Rooms that listen.
High ceilings, old wood, and gear chosen by musicians — not by a catalogue. Track a band in the live room, layer vocals by the window, or mix until the forest goes dark.
- Live roomin the old salon — high ceilings, warm natural reverb
- Control roomanalogue heart, modern monitoring
- Backline & micspianos, amps and a considered mic locker
- Engineeroptional — bring yours or work with ours
A2The residency
Stay until the song is done.
Bedrooms under the roof, a big kitchen table, and a garden that turns into a rehearsal room in summer. No checkout time on inspiration — book days or weeks.

B1The place
A medieval town, a river, and quiet.
St-Ursanne sits on the Doubs in the Swiss Jura — stone bridges, cliffs, and air that clears your head between takes. Basel and Biel are about an hour away; the world feels further.
