About Us

Based in the foothills of the Waitakere ranges, West Auckland, Huntaway Sound is a small boutique studio that punches above its weight for all recording applications.

 

The studio is a separate building at a residential address, this means we can keep the costs to the customer low compared to bigger studios in the city, but deliver the same results.

 

Easy parking and a relaxed atmosphere, with top quality audio hardware, make Huntaway Sound the perfect spot for your recording project.

 

We work with local bands, voice over artists, ad producers and song writers to achieve high quality audio solutions for all applications.

We also work with people from all around the world providing musical scores and sound beds for video productions.

Some commentary from planetarium show producer Max Crow:

 

“I needed a different type of composer who was more rock band orientated than used to orchestras or synths, so Dylan was ideal for us. It was a tough job, he has a really solid understanding of the technical aspect of music and then had to break all those conventions by constructing a soundtrack that had to hit the most punishing constraints and not sound like a mess. It’s complicated, you’re hitting timings set by the visuals, trying not to crash any dialogue as well as composing a musical canvass that follows the ups and downs of the scene. None of this phased Dylan and he produced a phenomenal piece of work.”

 

“planetarium music [had] got too serious mainly because of the grandiose nature of space, and that bloody Holst. So with planetariums (slowly) opening up to new areas of science, cultures and a range of age groups, it allows us a wider scope of musical styles. “
