Who we are

A musician's dream, for musicians

Alive Studio pairs a serious, no-compromise, high-end signal chain with a collection of vintage instruments — in a space designed to make people want to play, film and share.

As a kid I always dreamed of a studio like the ones abroad — a musical castle you walk into and find every rare, beautiful instrument and every legendary piece of gear you usually only see in videos from the world's great rooms.

So we built it: treated rooms for drums, vocals and full bands playing together; every instrument you can dream of, all connected and always on; built in a country estate designed as a castle, surrounded by horses, giant trees and a fountain — and the kind of quiet that makes you want to record the whole album right here, right now.

Our philosophy is simple: every musician should invest in their musical journey exactly what they believe it deserves. For years this place was my creative refuge for my own music, and over time it grew into exciting collaborations and work I felt was worth releasing into the world — and now it's open for you.

By appointment only, so every session gets the castle to itself.
