a bit about me
My name is Cian Hamilton. I’m the guy behind Middle Ridge Studio. I’m a mixing, recording and live sound engineer from Sligo, Ireland. In the studio I’ve worked with Anna Mieke, Winter Aid, The Secret Beach, Alannah Thornburgh, Ultan O’Brien & Antoni O’Breskey, and many more.
Hope to work on some projects together!
“‘Lazy Beds’ was a hard song to pin down… Finally, this year I took the song with me to the Middle Ridge Studio run by my friend Cian in Parkfield, California... I played it in one take on one guitar and it suddenly sounded finished – like it had been waiting for me in the middle of California all along.”
- Shane Culloty, Winter Aid
