The Space

Sitting in the trees with views of the surrounding countryside, the studio has two interconnecting rooms filled with all sorts of wonderful instruments and gadgets.

The Blüthner grand piano and the August Förster upright piano are special treasures, both dating back to the 1920’s and meticulously restored in Berlin offering a uniquely warm and characterful sound. See the spec list below for a fill list of instruments and equipment.

The live room is 18m2 and would comfortably fit a quartet or drum kit. The control room is 32m2 and runs the latest version of Pro Tools HDX with an Avid Matrix interface and a 7.1.4 immersive monitoring system calibrated by Big Bear Sound to meet Dolby Atmos Specifications. Fibre internet facilitates fast file transfer and remote attendance to sessions.

The studio is a 40 min drive from Dublin city centre, 50 mins from Dublin Airport and 5 mins outside Ashford village in Co Wicklow with lots of great food and accommodation options close by. There’s outdoor seating by the stream and a sauna and shower at the edge of the forest if you fancy some down time while you’re here.
