Welcome to Blackheart
​Located in one of Manchester, New Hampshires historic mill buildings, Blackheart is the most relaxing and comfortable creative environment you'll find in New England.
I like making records the old fashioned way, combining tried-and-true audio engineering with modern techniques and equipment to bring your art to life.
​
We thrive working with all genres, from Top 40's pop to the heaviest of metal, from folk to rap.
Eric Sauter
My name's Eric. I've been making music since I was a teenager, and recording my own since I was 19. I've played in multiple rock, punk and metal bands in the New England area since 2010. In my career of recording, I have engineering/mixing credits on 200+ releases, with streaming credits in the millions.

Crafting records and songs with artists is my favorite thing to do in life
​
Blackheart Sound is my studio, which has operated in Manchester since 2020. It's a space I've purpose built to create records and songs from front to back. Big enough to record a rock album live, and simultaneously cozy enough to have a simple vocal session.
