Record Foundry · Production Process
From finished music to finished physical release.
The process is deliberately structured. We confirm rights, production-ready audio, format, quantity, artwork, proofs, manufacturing decisions and delivery before the run is released into production.

These are fictional SKELVAR Record Foundry concept releases created to show format, genre, colour, packaging and collector-edition possibilities. Final artwork is supplied or approved by each customer and production specifications are confirmed per project.
