Welcome to the studio.✨
Clear sight lines from our versatile booth into the live room on the right, and straight through to the control room and green room.
Book in a session to see for yourself.🍳
Art / rock royalty. Sonic Youth. @leeranaldo (and collaborators Alan Licht @irvifran and Ulrich Krieger) brought his ‘Hurricane Transcriptions’ to the studio during @dark_mofo
Once used by The Beatles, I used the vintage EMI REDD.17 to record Tasmanian band Glass Media at Frying Pan Studios.
Inside Mona Museum, Frying Pan Studios has dream gear that made my job effortless, along with help from studio assistant Callum and manager Chris Townsend.
My friend Cam helped me with a lend of his vintage Neumann U87 and filming this walk-through. Using that mic exclusively on Anna’s vocal, we added a tight echo via the Echo Fix tape delay.
Using the new Fender Tone Master Pro like an endless pedal board, that got a hell of a look in both in the studio and afterwards, as we used it for some heavily effected vocal layers.
Drums were a mix match, but the Ludwig Black Beauty is always a win…even if it did have an extended Tassie holiday…
Basses were shot out, and the Fender P
& Mustang won!
For guitar amps, we went with a classic Fender Deluxe, and an Ampeg Portaflex.
The whole session ran on Avid Pro Tools.
Big love to Cam Piro (@cameron.piroo ) for shooting this for me, and helping with an epic recording.

Day 1 at @fryingpanstudios , @monafoma ✨
Recording a brand new EP with @qohau , specially crafted for this incredible opportunity.
So grateful to be recording with @townend.producer and @elizabird_ — what a dream team.
I truly can’t wait to hear the final result 🫶🏽💜
Standing in front of the console where The Beatles and Pink Floyd once recorded… touching it, smelling it — honestly unreal. Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine this moment.
Music, you never stop surprising me 😅🎶

Hey Chris. Meet our designer, head producer, engineer, host, artist and general creative boffin, Chris Townend (@townend.producer ).
With a passion for music, sound (yes, they’re different) and art, Chris has been making noise in the industry for several decades, his most notable achievement being (in our eyes), Frying Pan Studios.
He's always about, so give him a shout if you want to get into the studio some time.
We're in there somewhere, nestled in a quiet little spot on the @monamuseum grounds, on the Berriedale peninsula in nipaluna / Hobart, Tasmania.
Our namesake (depending on who you ask), Frying Pan Island, sits across the bay (pic 2).
Where the magic happens.
Welcome to Frying Pan—a recording studio on the grounds of @monamuseum ; a space for making art while being surrounded by it.
Formed from the joint efforts of Chris Townend, David Roper, Brian Ritchie, David Walsh (of course) (plus many others), Frying Pan's arsenal of vintage and contemporary gear is based around the iconic REDD.17 console, and yours to use, if you wish. More info regarding that in bio.
