Project Recording in the great outdoors

COBRA Music Studios is a leading provider of professional audio production services, specialising in location recording, sound design, and post-production. With a reputation for delivering exceptional quality, we work with organisations, artists, and creatives across the United Kingdom to bring their projects to life through sound.

At COBRA, we believe that sound has the power to connect, inspire, and transport. Our state-of-the-art mobile recording rig allows us to capture high-quality audio in any setting – from the rustling leaves of an ancient woodland to the rhythmic crash of waves along a rugged coastline. Whether it’s an immersive soundscape, an audio tour bringing a landscape to life in Welsh and English, or the rich sonic textures of the natural world, we take great care in preserving every moment with authenticity and clarity.

Once captured, we bring the recordings to our studio at the Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre in Newport, South Wales, where we pour our creativity and attention to detail into the post-production process, ensuring your audio is polished and impactful.

We believe sound has the power to tell stories, evoke emotions, and create unforgettable experiences. As a passionate team of musicians, sound engineers, and audio storytellers, we understand the importance of collaboration and community. From narrated immersive audio tours to soundscapes and voiceovers, our approach is always personal and tailored to your needs. We pride ourselves on providing a service that feels like a partnership – one where your vision is heard, valued, and brought to life with care.

From concept to completion, COBRA Music Studios is dedicated to working closely with our clients to bring their vision to life. We’d love to be a part of your journey and help make your project unforgettable.

Wilder Pentwyn Farm Audio Tour

We had the absolute privilege of working with the team at Radnorshire Wildlife Trust to produce an immersive audio tour that captures the landscape, wildlife, and natural processes shaping Pentwyn Farm.

The script was shaped by ideas and input from the Wilder Pentwyn volunteers and the Radnorshire Wildlife Team, then expertly crafted and narrated in both English and Welsh by Tobias Weatherburn. Tobias brought the stories, textures, and purpose of the site to life with real warmth and clarity - his narration is the thread that holds the whole experience together.

At COBRA, we brought everything into one coherent sonic journey, blending Tobias’s narration with a palette of on-location recordings taken across the farm - from birdsong and flowing water to the subtle sounds that define a landscape in recovery. The aim was simple: to give anyone, whether they’ve visited Pentwyn or not, a genuine sense of what this rewilding site is all about.

Written & narrated by Tobias Weatherburn
Original music by Toby Hay
Created with Wilder Pentwyn volunteers & the Radnorshire Wildlife Team
