The People
Established in 2008 in the North East of England, Blank Studios is partnership between three of the North East’s leading engineer/producers - Sam Grant, Chris McManus and John Martindale.
Originally located in a small building in Newcastle’s creative hub, the Ouseburn, the collective spent 2 years through 2016 to 2018 designing and building a brand new studio facility on Warwick Street - which opened April 2018. The collective have managed to develop one of the leading commercial recording facilities in the region.
Blank Studios provides audio recording, production and post production for musicians, artists, film, television and radio. But with the experience, technical knowledge, and creative thinking available through Blank Studios, a broad range of the more unusual audio specific projects can also be approached.
