SARM Studios are located just off the Portobello
Road in London's very trendy and vibrant Notting Hill Gate. The studios, owned by
Trevor Horn and Jill Sinclair, are regarded as one of the top studio
facilities in the UK. Managed by Lola Weidner, the studio has one of the
best maintenance departments in town and the food cooked by Marco is excellent!
Prior to Trevor Horn's involvement, the studios
used to be known as 'Basing Street Studios' and before then it was a
church. Many people still specu late that the words psalm and SARM are
linked to the studios distant past???
We will be posting a client list, more
pictures and video in the near future, in the meantime, for
those interested in useless information, the chief tech in those days is now
Ridge Farm's chief tech. A prize will wing it's way to the first three
correct guesses at his name!
SARM Studio One
Studio One's got to be one of the
best studios in London. Designed by Sam Toyashima and John Flynn, the
massively enlarged studio features an 80 channel J Series console and Alan Sides
(Ocean Way) monitoring. A full video tour of the studio is coming soon.

SARM Studio Two
SARM Two is one of the most
popular SSL 'E' Series rooms in London being regarded as a
'classic'.
Pictures and video will follow soon
so stay tuned!
SARM Studio Three's recent re-build
SARM 3 before the complete rebuild
SARM's Studio Manager, Lola Weidner,
tells us that the Studio 3 re-build is now complete.
The studio which used to be one of
their smallest rooms has been massively expanded and is now one of the
top mix rooms in town. The increase in size has not been at the
expense of the recording space which has also been increased by knocking
in to a former ZTT record company office.
Featuring one of London's largest SSL
J Series consoles and a full Quested 5.1 monitor system, the facility
also boasts a wonderful circular staircase at the rear of the control
room rising up to what can only be described as an awesome relaxation
area with screened roof terrace to protect the artist from gawpers.
In a nut-shell, it's very private and very, very nice.
The installation work was overseen by
Bill Ward, the studio's technical manager who has recently left to start
a new studio installations venture. Studio design is by Sam
Toyashima and John Flynn of ADG.
The room should be high up on the list
of any mega star visiting town and it's worth saving up if you're not a
mega star!
We are trying to find time to send our
video crew in to do a video tour, but as the room's constantly busy, it
may be some time!
