Our Story: From a Dream to a San Francisco Soundscape

Aetheria Soundscapes was founded in 2010 by Anya Petrova, a passionate audio engineer and San Francisco native. Anya's dream was to create a recording studio that not only provided state-of-the-art facilities but also fostered a collaborative and inspiring environment for artists of all genres. What started as a small project in a converted warehouse in the Mission District has blossomed into a leading recording studio, recognized for its exceptional quality and dedication to the San Francisco music scene.

In the early years, Aetheria Soundscapes focused primarily on indie artists and local bands, helping them to realize their musical visions with limited budgets and boundless creativity. Word of mouth spread quickly, and soon the studio was attracting talent from across the Bay Area and beyond. Anya assembled a team of skilled engineers and producers who shared her passion for sound and her commitment to artist support.

Over the years, Aetheria Soundscapes has expanded its services to include voiceover recording, audio post-production, and podcast production. The studio has also invested heavily in cutting-edge equipment and acoustically designed spaces to ensure that it remains at the forefront of audio innovation. Today, Aetheria Soundscapes stands as a testament to Anya's vision and a hub for creative expression in the heart of San Francisco.

From Grammy-nominated artists to emerging indie talents, Aetheria Soundscapes has played a role in countless successful projects. We're proud to be part of the San Francisco music ecosystem and excited to continue supporting artists in achieving their sonic dreams for years to come.
