Brad Pitt is officially starting a new career in the music industry

The actor has teamed up with Emmy-winning music producer Damien Quintard to reopen Miraval Studios – the legendary recording facility located at Chateau Miraval in Correns, France, that has hosted sessions for Pink Floyd, Sting and the Cranberries – after a complete redesign. The music studio, which was built in 1977 by Chateau Miraval's then-owner Jacques Loussier, largely sat unused for two decades until Pitt and Quintard decided to renovate the space for musicians to take on new recordings. In a press release, Quintard said that he "immediately clicked" with Pitt when the two met in Paris. "It was an intense moment where we just talked and talked about sound," he recalled. The updated studio will feature much of its original recording equipment integrated into a modern setting – including a desk personally designed by Pitt and Quintard. It will also boast multiple recording booths, sound and video editing work stations, rare musical gears and a mezzanine overlooking the entire studio.
