About Us
Nepenthe Recording Studios offers recording for all audio projects, whether voice or music.
Background - Nepenthe Recording Studios Ltd was incorporated as a limited company and started trading in 2006. The studio is located in the village of Kings Cliffe, Northamptonshire, a few miles to the west of Peterborough. It is a family run business with a professional outlook.
The Producer and leading technician at NRS, Spike has a solid background in music and music technology, composes music and plays a wide variety of instruments, and is conversant with current sound recording techniques and technologies.
Recording - once your Music or Voice has been recorded live within the studio, or on location if that is more convenient, it will be mastered and enhanced as required to produce a more refined and finished work, either as CD-audio, MP3, or other format, to your request. Editing, mastering and post-production work will be carried out by Spike himself, creating a unique and distinctive product.
Environment - our Studio and Control Rooms are equipped with up-to-date audio technology. Spacious and fully air conditioned, the live room is a sound treated space of over 30 sq m, with a slanted ceiling for best effect, with direct communication with the control room. Sound reverberation can also be varied, with removable panels being an important part of the studio furnishing. To have a feel for the studio, view our ‘Virtual Tour’ video clip.
Rehearsal - when not in use for recording, our live room can be booked for use as a practice or Rehearsal Room. Some instruments are available for hire within the studio, in particular an extensive drum kit, but feel free to bring your own musical equipment.
Refreshments are available in our Reception Area - tea (including herbal), coffee, chilled water - or you are welcome to bring your own. In the village, Kings Cliffe has a local pub and shops which can provide you with other refreshments.
Location - The studio was created for NRS in an industrial unit on the outskirts of the village of Kings Cliffe in Northamptonshire. Located off the A47, it is convenient for Peterborough, Leicester, and for locations from Kettering to Grantham, and beyond.
For the promotion of selected artists and recordings, NRS support two in-house labels, Nepenthe Records and Solo String Records.
Nepenthe Recording Studios are a Rockschool examination centre.
