A residential recording studio in the Sussex countryside

A private place to make a record, not simply a room to record in.

Curtis Schwartz Studio combines world-class recording facilities with the calm and privacy of an Arts and Crafts country house. Less than 30 minutes from Gatwick and within easy reach of London, it offers comfortable accommodation, a Hamburg Steinway D and Dolby Atmos mixing.

“A studio retreat that encourages creativity, calmness and focus.”
— Jon Davison, YES
