Designed for ears
The facility was designed by acoustics engineer John H. Brandt, joining professional isolation, careful geometry, warm daylight, and calm working ergonomics.
Analog recording - East Iceland - Stodvarfjordur
Analog sound in East Iceland
A five-room recording studio where the room, the machine, and the fjord all answer back. Built inside the Fish Factory Creative Centre in Stodvarfjordur.
The studio
A room within a room, built inside the factory's former ice storage silo.
Analog by nature
Studio Silo specialises in multitrack tape and fully analog process, with tape machines, outboard, plate reverbs, and a restored 36-channel Amek Angela console at the centre.
Digital when useful
Thirty-two channels of Antelope conversion make DAW, tape, console, and outboard workflows patchable together, so sessions can stay analog, go hybrid, or work fully in the computer.
01
Track to tape, print through the console, keep the good accidents.
No surcharge for recording to tape. Machines are connected and ready, with several formats available depending on the project.
House engineer
Vincent Wood brings the studio and the machines into the same conversation.
Vinny is a recording engineer, musician, qualified electronic engineer, and founder of Studio Silo together with his wife Una. He has recorded string quartets, punk, folk, metal, and plenty between, with an analog obsession that became the studio's signature.
His company, Atomic Analog, hand-builds professional audio devices in the remote East fjords. Its products and services are built around simplicity, ergonomics, repair culture, harmonics, distortion, artifacts, and the useful colors that make records feel alive.
Visit Atomic AnalogFully functional, patched for recording, mixdown, and outboard routes.
Five-room studio designed for flow, sightlines, and isolation.
Alongside vintage microphones, processors, amps, and handmade devices.
Thirty-two analog inputs and outputs available on the console patch bay.
Record in Iceland
International projects may be able to use Iceland's recording refund scheme.
Studio Silo is listed by Record in Iceland as the country's analog tape specialist, alongside digital and hybrid workflows. Their refund programme currently describes 25% reimbursements for eligible recording costs incurred in Iceland.
Silo Phonograph
Small-batch vinyl cutting inside the same analog ecosystem.
Silo Phonograph Cutting is the studio's disc-cutting side: a small-run, hand-cut vinyl service in Stodvarfjordur run by Vinny Wood and Lukas Stencel. Records are cut one by one rather than pressed at factory scale, turning sessions, singles, editions, and archive pieces into physical discs made in the East Fjords. Early cuts include Jack Armitage's Strengjavera vinyl edition for Mengi, cut by Silo Phonograph in Stodvarfjordur.
Run by Vinny Wood and Lukas Stencel, joining analog electronics, listening, and disc-cutting craft.
A restored disc cutting lathe, part of the same repair-and-build culture as Atomic Analog.
Small runs, artist editions, archive copies, and studio releases cut one by one in real time.
