State Of The Ark is a private boutique studio packed full of vintage gear.
We marry the best of the old with the best of the new, and the studio is a home from home with a laid back feel.

The studio began life solely as a writing studio for songwriter and producer Terry Britten, and with his enthusiasm for all things vintage and “Beatles” has grown so much that it is now a fully-equipped studio suitable for pretty much any application.

The studio has a vintage EMI TG desk, fully-equipped live room, as well as four separate isolation areas, of which two are large enough to record drums. We have a great collection of valve outboard gear, valve mic amps and a great selection of rare valve and ribbon mics. Also available when working at State Of The Ark are vintage drums, basses, guitars, amps, a Steinway B grand piano, a vintage upright, as well as Hammond B3, Wurlitzer, and a Fender Rhodes.
