CALIFORNIA’S LOG CABIN RECORDING STUDIO
say no to sterile studios.
Vibey albums are made in vibey rooms.
Middle Ridge Studios’ rustic cabin provides an immersive recording experience, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and fully immerse yourself in creativity. Surrounded by nature on California’s Central Coast, it’s the perfect retreat to focus, recharge, and bring your musical vision to life
Escape the noise.
Find your sound.
Surrounded by thousands of acres of untouched landscapes, Middle Ridge Studio allows you to unplug and immerse yourself in a distraction-free recording process.
This remote studio sits in hills of the 20,000 acre V6 Ranch in Parkfield, California. A Short drive from San Luis Obispo and just three and a half hours from both Los Angeles and San Francisco, but a world away from the hustle and bustle.
a bit about me
Hi, my name is Cian Hamilton.
At Middle Ridge Studio, I’ve created a warm, distraction-free environment that encourages creativity and inspires great work. Whether you’re recording or mixing, I’m here to help bring your vision to life, making sure each project feels as unique and personal as you. Let’s collaborate and create something great together!
I’m a producer, mixer, and recording engineer. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with amazing artists like Winter Aid, Alannah Thornburgh, Seánie Bermingham, Anna Mieke, Alfi and more, and through these experiences, I’ve developed a unique approach to blending intimate, atmospheric recordings with a cinematic, textured sound.
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.”
