Red Kite Studio is Martin Levan's residential recording facility set in his tranquil private estate close to the border of the Brecon Beacons, wales. |
Situated on a beautiful Welsh hillside, Red Kite Studio offers an unparalleled creative space that is at once energizing, inspirational and relaxing. Musicians who record here can focus wholly on performance and on their own unique artistic vision, free from the interference and the demands of their daily lives.

The naturally open feel of the rooms enables communication to flow between the musicians, engineer and producer and the extensive use of oak and maple throughout contributes to the organic ambience and rich warm sound achieved here.
There is an excellent selection of high quality microphones available, including a unique vintage Neumann U47.
The main monitors have been custom designed and tuned by Martin with processing by Dolby Lake Linear Phase FIR crossover technology and the room is optimised by a Trinnov ST2 Pro.
Both the control room and the live room benefit from high vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural daylight with the extensive use of glass between the control room and the live room providing the excellent communication between musicians, engineer and producer.

"My vision was to design a studio that minimised creative barriers between musicians, enabling them to work in as dynamic and natural sounding an environment as possible." |
Adjacent to the control room is a small kitchen, where our own spring water is on tap for making tea and coffee. Snacks can be prepared here and homemade cakes have been known to appear as if by magic.
" Everything about Red Kite Studio - the atmosphere, the equipment, the situation and, above all, Martin Levan himself - encourages you to give more than your best. - Inspirational." |
