According to
Neil Peart , drummer and lyricist of Rush, Le Studio has closed and sits abandoned not far from his residence in Quebec: "I drove us[ Alex Lifeson andGeddy Lee ] to my house on the lake, sometimes playing Finnish rally driver on the snow-covered roads. Along the way, we passed near the village of Morin Heights, where we had shared so many good times, recording at Le Studio — now closed and abandoned. The number of albums we had made there stretched from "Permanent Waves" in 1979 to "Counterparts" in 1994."
