Studio oddities 1 - How to Make friends & Influence People

Recording Studio London Life !

Here at The Coolest Recording Studio in South London - we don't just make some of the finest sounding records - we help to mould them - by introducing our artists to various noise & sound generating equipment. This could be anything from recording tuning forks at half speed to generate spooky & odd harmonics to poking mics out of upper story windows & recording street noise & traffic to record interesting loops.
Or ..... it could be old forgotten instruments - like the Casio range of digital guitars - recently used by Flight of the Concords - to great effect!!

Recording studio toys - don't matter the cost if it's cool !

We were lucky enough to pick this one up - & it's already been used on a track by a very well known artist!

Classic recording studio equipment

But the odd way the strings react to playing - plus you can hold chords down infinitely (like on an organ) make the whole experience new & interesting.
This guy showcases the whole thing well:
Good eh!

It's also excellent for running into an effects chain - you can build up whole symphonic pieces - or just some odd melody to supplement what you already have tunewise.

The drum machine is also killer:

All this & much more available at the studio - which you can see HERE.
