Welcome to
The Enlightened Audio Recording Studio
Our recording studio is nestled among 22 acres of gardens near the coastal town of Apollo Bay in Australia. From here, we create music for clients in every country around the world.
Our studio sits on top of a hill with views in all directions over the southern ocean and the Otway Ranges. It’s a secluded and very peaceful place that’s perfect for composing deeply relaxing music.
Studio Gardens
The studio gardens are home to all sorts of wildlife. Here you’ll find koalas, echidnas, a variety of native birds, the occasional tiger snake and plenty of kangaroos. It’s a unique experience to see them hopping about silently while watching from behind thick soundproof windows!
Equipment
Gear List
Our studio is home to a large collection of Tibetan singing bowls, bells, crystal bowls and wind chimes, in addition to a wide array of virtual instruments and synthesizers.
