Spaces

Headphone Monitoring, HiFi playback speakers, controllable video lighting, and a remote iPad control system for interacting with the control room.

A large, low-ceiling room on a concrete slab, adorned by historic posters and recordings from the past. Good for classes, jams and small house concerts.

High-quality Charles R. Walter Upright Piano
Many working and (not so working) instruments and noise-makers: to create beautiful music on, or just goof around between takes. They generate sympathetic frequencies that make the room ring when other instruments are played for a bigger-than-life sound.
Calibrated 4k 55” Sony Bravia TV, 7.1ch Dolby surround-sound with Bower and Wilkins mains.
Oppo Bluray/CD player, audiophile-grade vinyl playback system with large collection, tape deck.
