The first studio was there.
The bits of classic gear were there.
The idea was there.
Clients were there…

But when it came time to build a website and tell the world about it, there was one small problem:

We didn’t have a proper studio name.

After a few terrible attempts with pen and plasterboard scraps, Kris thought of Richard Magistrado, an old Danish friend, brilliant pianist and composer, and someone with a quiet nerdy love of Norse mythology.

A few minutes later, Richard came back with:

Noatun.

A name from the old Nordic world: Njord’s home by the water, connected to the sea, fertility, prosperity and new life.

For a Danish studio owner from a small island building a recording studio in Hackney, it somehow made perfect sense.

We Englishified it slightly by adding an E at the end - partly as a play on tune.

Some now say Noatunes, some say No Auto-Tune, Noa, Noa Studios…

As we say in Scandinavia: Kært barn har mange navne, a dear child has many names.

Thank you Richard for the name, the story and many years of friendship.

We did ask Richard for his @, but as he put it, finding him online is like catching smoke with your bare hands. - 100% off the grid!

Anyone else ever struggled to find the right artist, band, studio or project name?

We’re excited to announce that this month Noatune turns 10 years old 🎉

Although it’s hard to put a decade of ambition, community, genuine love of music creation and thousands of recording sessions into one short video, we’ve put together part of the story of how studio owner Kris started Noatune and how it became what it is today.

Countless late nights of building, rebuilding and improving have gone into making the studios what they are now. We always wanted it to be inviting, homely, clean studios with warm Scandinavian design, great acoustics, amazing outboard gear and lovely microphones, making it easy to get a great sound and enjoy recording, mixing or creating music in a friendly, welcoming environment.

We don’t know where to begin with thanking everyone who has chosen our studios over the years.

We’d love to celebrate with all our clients and friends at our 10 Year Birthday celebration. Join us on the 24th of September at 7.30pm for drinks, live music and jam sessions at the studio. RSVP link in our bio.
