About Us

Arsenic Audio is home to producer/engineer/musician Nathan Wacey, Nathan is proud of his diversity in music tastes, instead of working in a sole genre, choosing instead to work in a much more holistic engineering approach through his 25 years of experience on the many incarnations of production equipment throughout modern music history. One of the very last engineers to be trained on large format tape machines, large format consoles such as Neve and SSL, and also present at precisely the right point for the transfer to digital mediums, Nathan now uses these skills in a unique multi-disciplinary approach to the recorded presentation of music. Nathan has worked on everything from medieval folk, to industrial, from reggae and dancehall, to punk and metal. With a healthy dose of electronica along the way.

After many years as an avid equipment user, Nathan changed his focus to truly creating a symbiotic relationship with the equipment and has taken the engineering side of the recording and music-making process along a hands-on, DIY manner, from building guitars to effect pedals, to an entire modular synth as well as personally ensuring the upkeep of our ex-BBC sessions Neve. He will be putting his first music equipment designs up for sale soon.

A New Name for a New Chapter

Arsenic Audio has taken a bold leap — relocating to the breathtaking landscapes of Cornwall, where the ocean and open skies are our backdrop and inspiration. This isn’t just a change of scenery; it’s a whole new chapter in our creative journey.

Cornwall’s stunning coastlines and serene atmosphere have always called to us, and now we’re here — channelling the magic of these surroundings into our work. The studio is being built from the ground up, and we’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes updates as it comes to life, from the first stages of construction to the final touches that make it truly ours.

Whether you’re a musician looking to record, a fellow creator, or simply a lover of great music, we’d love for you to be part of this journey. Stay tuned for updates, studio previews, and everything else that comes with a brand new beginning.

Here’s to new music, new landscapes, and new possibilities.
