Field Day Recording Studios

Field Day Recording Studios

Located on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, an hour from Melbourne, in between Kyneton and Woodend, in the small hamlet of Tylden, sits Field Day Studios. 

Designed, built and run by Melbourne, via Europe, via Melbourne, songwriter, musician and composer, Andrew McCubbin, Field Day is the culmination of many years of dreams and hopes for a studio in idylic country surrounds where musicians can get out of the city, stay and record with accomodation on site.

Located in the grounds of Applewood Gardens, the space can be used for recording, rehearsing, intimate gigs and showcases, film clips as well as accomodation for bands touring Kyneton, Daylesford, Castlemaine and surrounds.

The centrepiece of the studio is an Otari MX70 16 Channel tape machine, not to mention the 100 year old Chappell Parlor Grand Piano.

You can hire the studio and bring your own engineer or use Andrew McCubbin or Gary Aspinal as house engineers. Click here to see rates.
