Airfield Studios

Last year we had the excellent Kakafoni here at Airfield studios. The band - along with the brilliant Daniel Gilbert behind the desk - were kind enough to let us film them at work recording the song, 'Vantablack.' As you can see, we're set up here at Airfield studios to record live with plenty of isolation areas for amplifiers, drummers(!), etc.

There’s really nothing finer than a freshly-tuned Joanna. Whenever the studio piano starts to lose its magic we call Nick Madin. He always brings it back to life and we highly recommend him if you’re in Cornwall (look him up on Yell, etc.) He also fitted a piano heater for us a couple of years ago which has helped enormously in maintaining the tuning and the general well being of the instrument. Thanks, Nick! 🎹

There’s nothing worse than someone wandering in while you’re in the middle of an incredible take. Tam has been making some professional-looking signs today - in between recording Mike Silver - in order to avoid potential gatecrashers “breaking the spell.” So far so good! Airfield studios: if your names’ not down you’re not coming in.

Has it really been 12 years since the Audient desk was installed at Airfield studios? The first two photos here were taken the day it arrived at the studio. The last photo is of top record producer, Paul Reeve manning the beloved Amek Hendrix console (previously owned by David Gilmour) which was in the studio for many years prior to the arrival of the Audient. As far as we know, the Amek is currently residing in France (Amek of that what you will.)
