About Me

The Winter Palace is a house in Hobart that hosts Anthony Rochester's recording studio. Its becoming a well known place for local (and not so local) indie bands and musicians to come and record. Its a pretty old house with really high ceilings and plenty of space for a whole band to set up in. Recording room and control room are separate but its like recording in an old house (because it is). Right near Hobart CBD.

There's been some cool and interesting projects done here. Send me a message if you'd like to record something cool and/or interesting here, and we can talk about it.
