Namouche Studios, Lisbon Portugal - Emily Visit in May 2024

[LPLStaff]

A new interview has surfaced with Namouche Studios in Lisbon, Portugal where Emily visited in May 2024. The studio is credited on From Zero in the liner notes.

 

The interview is short and doesn't reveal a TON, but says a videographer went with her (Mark Fiore?) and that Emily's friend, accomplished musician Alain Johannes, may have recommended the studio to her.

 

 

Resident sound engineer Miguel Peixoto revealed, "The session took place in May 2024. She scheduled a full day, but only stayed for a few hours. She didn't record leads, but she sang and wrote some stuff, possibly lyrics."

 

 

He mentioned that they didn't know Emily was even associated with Linkin Park at the time, saying, "In this case, the contact came through the band’s management, but at the time we didn’t even know who Linkin Park were, but then we put the names together. In the meantime, it was Emily who showed up. At the time, she wasn't associated with the band yet, so we thought she was just another international artist coming to record. The songs didn't have a name, just numbers and they came on an external disk. So we recorded the songs and she left. It was only when we saw a post on Reddit about Namouche and Linkin Park that we started to connect the two things."

 

We are unsure what song Emily worked on in Lisbon, but perhaps some footage will be available on an upcoming LPTV episode for a "making of" video of the song, or songs.
