About Producer John Congleton:
“Art that doesn’t challenge is not interesting to me. I’m intoxicated by the stuff I don’t understand, ’cause at the end of the day I — if I get something out of that, I’m a better producer, I’m a better listener, I’m a better everything.”
Grammy award-winning producer John Congleton is known for challenging the artists with whom he works and the listeners who enjoy their work. While recording bands on the local scene, he developed into an engineer of note. Soon he was being called to record projects as diverse as Kirk Franklin, Erykah Badu and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, all the while continuing to work with the local indie rock scene. He took a break from Dallas to spend a year in Chicago working at Electrical Audio under the legendary Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, Bush etc) where he honed his now legendary quickness where he instinctually commits to the perfect sound. The speed at which he works continues to be a hallmark of technique.
Upon returning to Dallas, Congleton quickly established himself as the best producer in town. Soon he was producing the cream of the Dallas scene with albums by Midlake, Explosions in the Sky and Polyphonic Spree making a splash in the international indie rock scene. It was while working with the Polyphonic Spree he met Annie Clark, now better known as St. Vincent. Their partnership over six albums has won Grammy awards and been universally praised by critics as some of the most important music of our times.
In addition to his production work, Congleton has found time to release and tour behind seven albums and countless EP’s of original music released as The Paper Chase and John Congleton & the Nighty Nite.
Now based in Los Angeles, Congleton continues to grow and flourish. In addition to the repeat business from long-time clients, he’s now established among the best of the best. Recent productions of note include Death Cab for Cutie, The Murder Capital, Tegan and Sara, Regina Spektor, Wallows, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten and many, many more.

Here’s what others have said about our retreats…
“Not only did I take home a finger painted personification of my intuition that came to me during a visualization exercise at the retreat, I arrived back home with a mind full of music, and a heart full of inspiration, wonder, and artistic companionship. Atrium provided a safe space beyond expectations that allowed me to uncover new found appreciation for my musical gifts (and for other artists!) One special moment forever etched in my mind will be when we gathered together to sing group vocals for the last track on my next album. I’m so happy I invested in this trip and experience. I hope to be at more of these retreats in the future. Thank you Atrium!”
“I was blessed to have a song go viral at a young age, meaning I thrusted myself into a career straight out of high school. In learning what it means to be a full-time artist in the digital age, plus learning how to simply be an adult, I’ve felt a bit lost in the details, losing touch with the creative spark that got me into making music in the first place. I wanted this retreat to remind me why I started, and it did exactly that. The workshops were deeply meaningful, rattling up all kinds of emotions, and I got to bring those emotions to fruition during studio time and while jamming with other attendees. This retreat was exactly what I needed.”
“Atrium has created such an awesome space for likeminded musicians to come together. They do a great job in balancing and intertwining mindfulness and musicianship. The one on one time we are given with the producers is also extremely valuable. I left the retreat feeling more confident in myself as a musician and person. I made lifelong friends and improved greatly in my producing in just a short week. I definitely want to be part of more retreats in the future.”
“I feel that this retreat really benefited me not only as an artist, but as a human. Taking time away and pausing "real life" to join others and work with really wonderful people is a necessity that not many are able to make use of. I'm happy to be walking away with some new songs and more importantly new friends.”
“This was a magical time where I got to me introspective and lean into my music while also leaning into my inner world outside of music. I felt supported and inspired to dive deep!”
