NOISE MACHINE STUDIOS
New website coming soon — but we’re already making noise…
Noise Machine is a grassroots, artist-run creative space that helps artists make and release music. We offer studio recording, label services, artist development, and residency opportunities — all designed to support women, femmes, gender-diverse, and historically underserved artists.
Whether you're just starting out or deep in your practice, we’re here to support the full arc of your artistry. From learning music production and technical skills, to navigating release strategies, to finding space for restorative creative work. Our services are built to meet artists where they are and help name, shape, and advance their musical goals.
Located on the coast in qathet, BC, our studio blends professional facilities with the inspiration of nature. Founded by producer and engineer Sophia Sanford, Noise Machine is a place for bold sound, deep focus, and community-rooted creation.
We’re queer-run, femme-led, neurodiverse-powered — and deeply committed to equity, access, and creative freedom.
