Osiris Studio is an Atlanta-based audio restoration and mastering services facility owned by GRAMMY® Award winning mastering engineer Michael Graves. We specialize in providing state-of-the-art digital audio restoration services to the entertainment, archival and forensic communities. Audio that needs help. That’s the unifying theme to the types of projects that Osiris Studio specializes in. For projects that will be commercially released this may be rare performances recorded to an old 78 rpm record, obscured by surface noise and years of neglect. In the archival world it might be long-gone voices recorded to deteriorating or obsolete media. A forensic project might need buzzes, hums and other noises reduced to reveal the true contents of a recording. All have one thing in common; the audio is there, it just needs someone to help bring it to the foreground and make it sounds the best it possibly can.

February 14, 2012 Compiled by Chris Menist for Parlortone/Dust-to-Digital, this LP features vintage oud and vocal music inspired by the qat-chewing, coffee-sipping, qambus-playing culture of Yemen. The album is a collection of rare, Yemeni vinyl singles, showcasing the little-documented, evolving local music styles in the 1960s and ‘70s. Audio restoration and mastering by Michael Graves, Osiris Studio.
October 25, 2011 Compiled by Jonathan Ward, released by Dust-to-Digital; Opika Pende: Africa at 78rpm is a 4-CD collection featuring 100 tracks taken from rare 78rpm recordings of African music (1909 to mid-1960s), none of which have ever been issued on CD until now. Pan-African in scope and wildly diverse, Opika Pende is a testament to the deep riches found in early recorded music across the continent. The packaging is a 112-page softcover book with 4 CDs in a separate portfolio – all housed in a deluxe cloth slipcase. Audio restoration and mastering by Michael Graves, Osiris Studio.
October 10, 2011 For its commemorative 10th release, Analog Africa explores Burkina Faso’s golden age of recording during the mid to late 1970’s. The raw sound of Burkina Faso combined Afro-Funk, traditional Islamic rhythms and subtle Afro-Latin sounds introduced by visiting Cuban ensembles. Mandingue melodies and guitar techniques from Mali and Guinea however were by far the most defining traits of a potent African mix that distinguished the Voltaic style between 1974 and 1979. Audio restoration and mastering by Michael Graves, Osiris Studio.
