3 Facts About Brian Eno’s Apollo Soundtrack Recording Location

The album was recorded at Grant Avenue Studio in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The sessions took place in 1981–1982.

The studio’s location in Ontario was a deliberate choice. Eno and his collaborators worked there because it offered the right equipment and atmosphere for the project.

The recording site is far from the album’s subject matter. The music was created for a documentary about the Apollo moon missions, yet the studio was in a Canadian industrial city.
