About Us

Andrew Sunnucks

Producer/Studio Owner

Andrew is a music producer with 30-something years of experience. In 2001 he founded Audio Network with Robert Hurst which went on to become the largest independent music group in Europe with offices in every major territory around the world and three times winner of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise.

In 2019 Audio Network was sold but Andrew remains active in the company as Chairman, and produces most of their large ensemble orchestral, big band and choral music.

Andrew has worked on a variety of classical projects including a series of most of the major works in the classical canon (running to about 250 separate recordings), The Great War Symphony with Patrick Hawes, Mythos with Debbie Wiseman and Stephen Fry and Jack Frost with Debbie and Alan Titchmarsh, all of which topped the Classic FM charts for several months.

Andrew, with Audio Network, has produced an estimated 4,000 tracks at Abbey Road Studios, but there is no need to use him if you come to School Farm Studios. You might find him handy if you’ve got a roomful of musicians and need to make sure you get the session finished on time.

Stefano Civetta

Recording and Mix Engineer

Stefano is a sound and mix engineer, composer, orchestrator and musician whose experience is hard to match. He was a recording engineer at Abbey Road Studios for 6 years, and the Pope’s organist at St Peter’s in the Vatican for 7 years (a fact he tries to conceal!).

He is a microphone connoisseur, a ProTools ninja and the man to have on the team for note spotting and resolving unintended crunchy chords in a busy score. School Farm Studios was built to Stefano’s exacting technical specifications with walls thick enough to contain his prodigious talent, endless enthusiasm and permanent and immovable smile.

He has worked on much of Abbey Road’s output over the years including Will.I.Am, Skrillex, OneRepublic and Ed Sheeran, Nile Rodgers’ recordings with Bruno Mars, The Carpenters, The Beach Boys, Mary J Blige, Earth Wind And Fire, Andrea Bocelli, Take That, Royal Blood, PJ Harvey, Alt-J, Harry Styles and Ellie Goulding.

He worked with Giles Martin on remixing the Beatles classics and is credited on the 50th anniversary reissues of two of his all-time favourite albums, The White Album and Abbey Road.

If that’s not enough for you, Stefano has also worked on around 60 blockbusting scores including Solo: A Star Wars Story, Avengers: Endgame, Rocketman, The Hobbit, The Martian and Guardians Of The Galaxy 2.
