We head to Norway to unpack how an ocean-view recording studio got built on a rock in a village of 4,000, and why artists now fly in year-round. With Henning Svoren (Ocean Sound), we trace the line from a 2005 boathouse experiment to the 2009 opening: 13 landowners to convince, coastal-zone permits to win, a community to bring onside (open days, concerts, transparency).

Then the business: a lean day-rate model, four simple bedrooms above the control room, live-band rooms that also attract laptop producers who come for atmosphere, not just gear. Ops are DIY by design, shopping runs, a friend-chef, or a hired cook when budgets allow, because margins die fast when you over-staff a remote place.

We get tactical: why not overbuild Ocean Sound (RIP many “luxury” studios), how Atmos mixing (B-room upgrade) opens new revenue, and why July’s beach BBQ smells are fun for guests… and terrible for takes. The kicker: how a studio can seed a micro-ecosystem; festivals, restaurants, even a Green Day stadium show, when you treat neighbors like partners, not obstacles. If you’re building in the middle of nowhere, this one’s a field manual.

If it helps your roadmap, share the episode of Ocean Sound (ocean-view studio), subscribe, and drop a 5★ review—so more builders find it.
