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 and demands of everyday life and focus on making music. Bands can work together on their music projects, while we take care of everything else!

Joe Woolf, our resident musician, technician, producer and engineer is responsible for managing the studio and creating your recording. Your band can focus on the creative process of writing, recording and polishing your tracks.

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 and recording studio and recordings are managed from the sunny and comfortable control room.

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

Hospitality

Our accommodation is perfect for bands and groups. The Dortoir is a quiet, dark room to sleep and the spacious wet rooms have plentiful hot water, towels and toiletries. Breakfast and 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 and fruit for lunch and enjoy our outdoor spaces for eating. You can chose to self cater for your evening dinners, for some or all of your stay, in our new outdoor kitchen. We provide a large fridge and freezer to store you food, snacks and drinks.
