FAQ
Recording Club is an annual membership.
After joining, you will receive a scheduling link to propose date windows. Stays are confirmed based on availability.
Recording Club is for artists who want to create real space for their work, even when the timing does not feel perfect.
If you are waiting for certainty, extra time, or ideal conditions, this may feel challenging. That does not mean it is out of reach. Often, the structure and commitment are what make the work possible in the first place.
You do not need to feel fully ready. You need to be willing to show up and let the work unfold.
Our checkout offers Shop Pay, which allows you to break the cost into manageable instalments over time. This is designed to remove the pressure of a single upfront payment and make it easier to commit when the work itself feels ready to move.
Financial considerations matter. We simply do not want them to be the reason an artist postpones work they are prepared to do now.
That’s okay.
Recording Club is not prescriptive about outcomes. Some artists arrive with clear goals; others arrive knowing only that they need space, focus, and movement.
Both are valid starting points.
Yes. The included stay is designed for you and your project team. Final rooming and details are confirmed during onboarding.
Recording Club does not require you to arrive with a team.
If connection is something you are looking for, we can help facilitate that as well. The name Hurry Hard comes from curling, where success depends on trust, communication, and shared effort. That team mentality carries through everything we do.
Many artists end up doing everything on their own, often out of necessity. Recording Club exists to offer another option. One where collaboration and support are available, without obligation, if they serve the work you want to make.
Creative work is shaped not only by tools, but by context. Changing where you work often changes how you work. Your attention, your decisions, your willingness to experiment, and the pace at which ideas move.
One of Brian Eno’s often-cited ideas is that unfamiliar or intentionally designed settings disrupt habits just enough to allow new thinking to emerge.
Recording Club exists to provide that disruption in a supportive way. Stepping into a different physical and creative environment can shake loose patterns that quietly keep work looping in place, even in well-equipped home studios.
It is not about better gear. It is about altering the conditions around the work so something different has room to happen.
Yes. Engineer sessions can be added at published rates and scheduled based on availability.
IAH intentionally supports the Access tier, which is limited to 10 new members per year, to help developing artists step into a professional creative environment and to strengthen the broader creative ecosystem.
Patron members may choose to sponsor a five-night Artist Habitat residency for an artist. IAH coordinates selection, scheduling, and support to ensure the sponsorship results in meaningful creative progress.
