Studio Alouette Recording Studio

A Musicians Creative Retreat

Tucked away at Rural Retreat is Studio Alouette – a purpose built recording studio. Along with our accommodation, it’s perfect for bands to get away from the distractions & demands of everyday life. Your band can focus on working on music projects & the creative process of writing & recording, while we take care of everything else!

We offer 2 choices – dry hire with your own engineer or our in-house support. Joe Woolf, our resident musician, technician, producer & engineer, manages the studio should you prefer extra support.

The Studio

Our impressive 28 channel analogue desk, a wide variety of quality instruments, amps and microphones means that you don’t need to transport valuable and fragile equipment. Just turn up and get started!

The spacious acoustically treated live room is both a rehearsal room & recording studio & recordings are managed from the sunny & comfortable control room.

You can email Joe, our resident musician, sound engineer & music producer, to talk about your music project joe@studioalouette.com or speak to Sue about available dates & booking, at our usual retreat email address sue@ruralretreatfrance.com

Hospitality

Our accommodation is perfect for bands & groups. The Dortoir is a quiet, dark room to sleep & the spacious wet rooms have plentiful hot water, towels & toiletries. Breakfast & an optional 2 course evening meal are provided at a time to suit your recording schedule.

You can shop locally to buy your fresh local French breads, cheeses, pate & fruit for lunch & enjoy our outdoor spaces for eating. You can choose our home cooked evening meal or to self cater, for some or all of your stay, in our new outdoor kitchen. We provide a large fridge & freezer to store your food, snacks & drinks.
