Producer and
Portable Recording Studios
based in Sussex, England
An introduction:
'Somewhere Studios' is a portable recording service run by engineer/producer Hamish Benjamin. We can come to you or you can come to us, usually working from Alciston Hall, a light, spacious venue in the Sussex countryside, perfect for recording choirs, orchestral groups and rock bands alike. The large hall has a beautiful clear ambience and additional side areas that can be used to acoustically deaden or isolate certain instruments if needs be. We specialise in recording full bands playing together ‘live’, balancing the immediacy of a live performance with truly professional studio sound quality. We also regularly record overdubs at the hall, with artists coming to use the amazing space to record the drums or vocals for their own projects. We use carefully chosen, top quality microphones and preamps to ensure the highest professional sound quality: please see our tracks above for examples.
Hamish’s role on recording projects varies from just Recording Engineer to Musician and Producer. He regularly plays with artists he works with, if that’s what they need for their project, including Drums, Guitar and Keys. He also works with musicians to build their own tracks from the ground up, taking their song and turning it into a finished track with them.
Before setting up his own recording business, Hamish assisted at various studios around Brighton, working on sessions with bands such as The Levellers and Squid.
