Cosmic Soup Recording is a sound recording studio located in north west Phoenix, Arizona. It specializes in making quality, professional sounding recordings for an affordable price.

Stu is probably best known for his work as Lead Guitarist for British Rock & Roll Band The Twang: 
2 albums (one Gold over 200,000 copies Love It When I Feel Like This) 
Headline at Glastonbury 2007 John Peel stage 
T in the Park 
Reading and Leeds 
V 2008 and 2009 
Rockness 
Jersey Live 
Highfield Germany 
Pukkelpop Belgium 
Summercase Spain 
Summersonic Japan 
Ibiza Rocks 
headline Academy Tour taking in Sold out shows at Brixton and many others

He's since been working on a solo project of a more soundscaped nature taking influences from artists as widespread as John Barry, Pink Floyd, Kasabian and others.

What's showcased here is probably not what you'd expect after releases by THe Twang. This is a considerable departure from the vibe generated before due to the use of Electronica and grand string sections but there is an unmistakeable DNA in the guitar lines, technique and feel.

Obviously, there is no vocal and deliberately so....This is aimed at creating vibe for a darker and more 'filmic' platform.

There are further compositions that will be revealed in good time

Press Cuts:

Those that say Stu Hartland’s flanger pedal-fed guitars recall the sound of U2 wally The Edge are missing the point – we can’t remember the last time that Irish band peddled a guitar sound that articulated the horror of the morning after a drug binge. NME

Things didn’t really make sense until Stu Hartland, a man with a unique ability to make one guitar sound like many, came into the fold. BBC

The Twang’s real secret weapons are Stuart Hartland’s shimmering, Edge-like guitar and a liquid rhythm section that recognises the distant gravitational tug of funk and reggae. Uncut

The groovy lad stomp of "Ice Cream Sundae" and the pulsating "Push The Ghosts", all coloured in by Stu Hartland's swaggering guitar licks, are likely to send limbs flailing across the whole of Worthy Farm when they're finally unleashed on the masses. BBC

"drummer, Derek Upton, has become one of our most utilized session players in years.He has a great style and....... has appeared on numerous tracks from my other artists of various styles and he is absolutely incredible......I have worked with many session drummers in the past and he is up there with Brooks Wackerman, Vinnie Colaiuta and Josh Freese.At such a young age his drive and performance level exceeds most every session artist I have ever encountered."

Thelonius is a five piece urban jazz band based in Bristol UK performing a mix of originals, classics from the golden age of hip-hop and some nasty jazz tunes.

Imagine if Mr Monk and A Tribe Called Quest - with J Dilla in tow - all ended up in a small smokey jazz club in Prague.

That's Thelonius
