Arda Recorders
The home of Arnema Orchestra is the fantastic studio complex of Arda Recorders.
Born in 2017, this complex was designed and built from the ground up with the goal of providing artists with the best possible environment for music creation and recording, featuring 6 independent studios and 5 production rooms.
Arnema Orchestra records in the incredible Studio A with 140m2 of recording space (plus a real echo chamber), a Fazioli F278 grand piano, a vintage Neve 8068 console and analog tape recorders.
