about us
We’re Bertrand and Eric Poncet, two brothers hailing from Paris, France. We share a passion for producing and performing music, having spent over 10 years playing and touring the world together, while also producing our own music.
Working on our own music has given us a deep appreciation for the importance of perfection in music production and means that we truly understand the level of quality expected by fellow musicians. This is what motivated us to create Alias Studio in the first place.

Music production is constantly progressing and home recording is becoming increasingly popular. As musicians ourselves, we understand how costly professional studios are. This can really pose a problem, especially when you’re a new and upcoming artist. That’s why we decided to offer a different approach to music production, with a variety of services for all kinds of budgets. We’re happy to adapt to our clients and not simply offer a generic set price or service. Whatever the size of your project or how you choose to record your music, our focus is always on you, the artist, and on respecting your choices.
Our innovative approach to music production provides a much-needed service that allows artists and bands to record their tracks from home before trusting us to handle the rest of the production. Working in this way reduces the overall cost for the artist by avoiding the vast expenses of booking time in a professional studio, travel, accommodation, and so on. In this way, we work with the artist to create a professional and affordable sound that never compromises on quality and is never limited by distance.

Alias Studio is hosted by L'Orangerie, a high-spec recording studio conveniently located near Paris. It is extensively equipped with high-end gear distributed across three separate rooms: the control room, the live room, and the acoustic room.
The studio can be found within a historical building that has been specifically restored for making and recording music. Set in leafy surroundings and encircled by dreamy countryside, it is the perfect backdrop for creativity and productivity.
